NGD: I’ve already upset a Fender purist!

[BMO]

Yo! The Jazzmaster I posted about the other day has arrived, and in essentially untouched condition! I could not be happier wih how it feels in my hands! But, I’m gonna leave it in the case to adjust to my room over the weekend while I’m out in Salem and use a cobalt 58 set to tune her to drop B, as is custom! I’ve dreamt of owning one since I was a kid in highschool so this is a guitar I’m keeping for life! As is usual, my images are too large so i’ll link to the album! Also side note, I sent a picture of this to a friend who plays shoegaze and he got visibly angry at the sight of it hahaha!

Absolutely will! I’m across state in Spookytown USA for the weekend but once I get back she’s being put through her paces!

Nice guitar.

Enjoy Salem, too. You're a brave soul for going there so close to Halloween, with all the traffic & people.

Thanks and Salem in October is great! Traffic ain’t too bad either if you have a GPS. I’m also goth so finding alternative communities in MA outside Salem is next to impossible hahaha! We all flock here!

^I took my trip the first weekend of the month and it was crazy then. Good times, though.

Had one of those right when they came out; great guitars man, HNGD!

That vol location was soooo choice ( Bueller?) for roll offs.

I absolutely love when classic shapes are transformed into clean, understated metal guitars. Hngd!

Based purely on the thread title alone, I was expecting something like a 3 pickup Tele with a bridge humbucker
The Jim Root is the only Jazzmaster I'd even buy. I know that would get me burned at the stake among Jazzmaster purists, but I DO NOT like the JM bridge at all. In the same camp as a Bigsby to me, just a bridge I wouldn't want within a mile of my guitars.
I'd rather have the 2 point American bridge on some Strats on a JM if I had a choice other than the Fender hardtail like on the Root, but I guess I like modern functionality and a modicum of decent tuning stability over "vintage correct"

you do realize that Mastery bridges exist, right?

Sweet guitar. Enjoy Salem I was there first weekend of the month came down from Ontario for some Salem and Boston action weather was perfect and damn it was hectic even then.

 

[AkiraSpectrum]

Solid!!!

Thanks it's a sweet guitar from the sweet people at Sweetwater!

It's pretty hectic right now, enough so that going to Boston today I decided to hit the train instead of drive!

Solid!!!

Very! I'm excited to be able to put her through her paces either tonight or tomorrow!

Thanks! It’s funny it seems I’ve bought a bunch of guitars you’ve had before hahaha! I still have my RGIB6 and plan on having it plek’d soon!

Or do the John 5 triple humbucker tele and load it with emgs hahaha! Nah, my buddy HATES active pickups with a passion, hates the idea of a mahogany jazzmaster and despises guitars without tone knobs. For me, I like a metal guitar with a touch of class, actives, and one volume. This ticks every box I wanted. When it comes to bridges though I’m either simple hardtail in the sense of a TOM or just a standard bridge like this Jazzmaster, or I like the concepts Mick Thomson has created with a locking bridge that’s been hardtailed and doesnt take chunks of wood out of the guitar.

Nice man! I miss my RG, those are great guitars too.

Oh for sure! Just nowadays my hands can’t accomodate a flat and thin neck like an Ibanez anymore. Makes my thumb hurt and then go numb. I find the Fender actually keeps my thumb in a comfy position now and it looks like Fender, Charvel and other companies with comfy C necks are gonna be my go to!
