Hey guys,
First off: didn't want to bump an old thread, hope that starting a new one is ok.
I have my eye on the Jim Root Jazzmaster for a while now. Specs are what I look for in a new guitar: mahogany body, EMG's, compound radius modern c shape neck and the satin finish. Like the looks and like the minimalist approach. And last but not least: like the guy and it's music and like Fender guitars. So far so good.
My only doubt enters when I look at the pricing. For me, it's just a lot of money. Guitars with similar specs seems to be availiable (ESP seems to have some nice ones) for far less (25% to almost 50% less). Although I normally would wait for one to pop up second hand, I don't think this will happen anytime soon with this model.
I don't have the option to test different guitars at once, because none of the guitars are availiable in a store nearby.
What are your opinions? If you own a JR Jazzmaster: why not a different guitar with similar specs and do you think it's still worth the money? People who have considered buying one: what were your reasons not to buy one?
