Members Brujo13 Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 i was looking forward to getting squier jazzmaster, but they wont be offering a rosewood neck for them, very dissapointed. http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0302800550
Members Matt Gnarly Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I had no idea that Squier were making a Jazzmaster, I wonder how it stacks up to the Blacktop JM.
Members brandass Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 Check out the Xaviere JT100 if you haven't already.
Members FoonkySteve Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I like the maple on the squire Jazzmaster, i just wish it had an extra fret on there!
Members vintage clubber Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I kinda like the maple neck/board. I'm not crazy about the top loader bridge though. I would have preferred a strat trem on it...
Members brianeharmonjr Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 Boo hoo. I'm glad about the change. I dig it.
Members Kerouac Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 Prefer the maple board but don't like either colour.
Members citizens_X Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 Damn, I've been out of the loop... there's a squier vintage modified Jaguar as well. http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0302700540 They'll probably be discontinuing the Jagmaster soon.
Members Beyer160 Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I normally don't dig maple necks, but they actually look pretty good on these. However, to me, getting rid of the trem is like taking the engine out of a Porsche and replacing it with one from a Ford Escort.
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 Did they re-label the Jagmaster to the new Jazzmaster HH ???
Members imbuedblue Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I'd hit that if it had the standard tailpiece/bridge configuration.

However, to me, getting rid of the trem is like taking the engine out of a Porsche and replacing it with one from a Ford Escort. . . . i have seen some Cozzy Escorts that out drag Porsches at the drag strip
Members d_dave_c Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I'd try to snag one of those new MIJ Jazzmaster's binding and dot necks off e-bay. Those are sick. Of course, that neck prob'ly costs more than the Squier.
Members poolshark Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 I'm normally pretty traditional with offsets, but I like the all-business approach of these. Are they really Jazzmasters and Jaguars? Maybe not. But I like 'em.
Members kayd_mon Posted January 11, 2011 Members Posted January 11, 2011 Hey, at least it's different.
Members Matt Gnarly Posted January 12, 2011 Members Posted January 12, 2011 I'm on the fence about the trem, but for the price they look great, would love one in sonic blue though.
Members Brujo13 Posted January 12, 2011 Author Members Posted January 12, 2011 Ive seen the xavieres, im considering it, but the blonde one is starting to grow on me, im thinkign jank the bridge out, fit a bigsby on it, and i bet that thing would rock
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted January 12, 2011 Members Posted January 12, 2011 Thy look very, very simmilar . . . Both have HH 'buckers, Rosewood fret boards and 24" scale. http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0302700540 - new Jaguar http://www.squierguitars.com/products/search.php?partno=0320700500 - current Jagmaster

Clever Squier, just enough differences, to keep all three models selling. Although, i wouldn't be surprised if the Jagmaster gets discontuniued next year. Could be a good time to pick one up! If the Jags and Jazzies do well this year, we could well see some different finishes, and options coming in the next couple of years! Woohoo!
