Members jonny guitar Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 JAzzmaster will always be on my want list until I get one...however I already have a tele. I believe that everybody should own a tele. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is one of these for a decent price at my GC:I would replace the selector switch and have it wired up so I can get the traditional neck+bridge sound Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members inscho Posted May 5, 2006 Author Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 Originally posted by (((echo))) Yeah I already know what you want me to get Unfortunately I have never even seen a jazzmaster in person so I don't know if its really going to be what I am looking for, although I have wanted one for about....... my entire life.the tele on the other hand, I know I could use and I like the sounds of it, and it can be had easier and cheaper....

I like sonic youth, dinosaur jr, my bloody valentine, fountains of wayne, all of which use a jazzmaster....so I just always assumed I would like it.EDITI also worked a guitar center for 6 months last year. asked everyone if they knew of anyone in town that had one.....no luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT I also worked a guitar center for 6 months last year. asked everyone if they knew of anyone in town that had one.....no luck you might like one then.. finding one at GC doesn't seem like an easy thing, i can't recall ever seeing one at mine. one thing to consider is if you do take a shot at one without playing first and don't like it you won't have any trouble unloading. like i said they aren't for everyone but i've found them to be the most comfortable guitar i've picked up, they're great to play. i'm a much better player on a JM than on my Ric. the sound is somewhat unique, i can hear one in a song quite easily. fantastic cleans, the lack of sustain works well if you're a rhythm player and when you add fuzz/distortion you get any sustain you could need and then some and the sound is fantastic. my 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitownTerror Posted May 5, 2006 Members Share Posted May 5, 2006 I'm unloading my mustang and Jazzmaster to pay for school and it sucks. I'll probably buy another Jazzmaster or a Jaguar this summer, hopefully a used USA AVRI, in white with the red pickguard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
