Members yyyames Posted April 3, 2012 Members Share Posted April 3, 2012 Every time I see someone post about swapping out the pickguard on a J Mascis Jazzy, I ask the same questions: Where did you purchase the replacement pickguard? How well does it line up / match up with the shape and screw holes of the stock Mascis pickguard? PS That tort is going to look really nice. Pics when it's done please. I replaced my JM JM gold pick guard with a fender mint green and the holes matched up perfectly. Also replaced the tail piece with the fender one with the lock button and matched up the same as well.

Thank you - I especially appreciate the confirmation on the vibrato plate / tailpiece holes lining up. You're the first person I've talked to who has tried that, and while I suspected the hole patterns were the same, I hadn't been able to confirm it yet.

I think Gambit may have posted in another thread that the pickguard was custom made by someone in Holland but I may have imagined/misremembered that!

Members H.P. Lovecraft Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 I love all Jazzmasters but wish they would bring back an affordable natural wood version ala the Costello signature model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members triviani Posted April 4, 2012 Members Share Posted April 4, 2012 Went around the internet looking for more info.. went to TGP, and seems like nobody bothered to open a thread over the guitars forum. But there was a select series NGD, with "blew my expectations" and "Looking forward to a tone report" comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Matt Gnarly Posted April 15, 2012 Members Share Posted April 15, 2012 According to a post on OSG these are looking real, MSRP of $579 so hopefully a street of $379 if the J Mascis Jazzmaster is any indication. Now, Jazzmaster, Mustang or both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 Well, I know something... kinda... but I am not really at liberty to say really, even though I was told nothing - which told me a lot. Sorry to be so cryptic, but let's just put it this way - one of those green Jags is looking more and more like it's going to wind up in my hands eventually.

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 I asked people that I know who are in the know if they were real and going to be available in the USA and Europe, and I told them that if they're real, Fender / Squier is going to sell a ton of them... and was told in reply that "we'll have to wait and see, if you catch my drift." If they were FSR for Japan only, I normally would have been told that outright, so the reply I got was quite encouraging... I suspect we'll see them released in some form or another - they still may be only doing a limited run for all I know - here in the USA sometime by the end of the summer, if not sooner. That's not official, and I can't cite my sources, but that's my best guess. Yes Virginia, there is a Santa Claus, and he makes deliveries in the summertime to all to good surfer boys and girls.
