Jazzmaster 40th Anniv OW : Good, but you'll need a good setup

I'll start off by saying this is now one of my favourite guitars, which I'm really fond of and extremely happy about. Yet, I would NOT have said so when I received it.

To say the fretboard was dry is not even close to being an understatement, I was also greeted with the scratchiest frets ever made, and overall bad fit and finish (paint crack next to the neck pocket, scratched and marked fretboard, glue on the headstock...). Almost forgot about a pretty mid fret job and dead B and high E strings due to high 21st fret (factory strings were crap of course).

Otherwise, the neck is extremely comfortable, after a thorough cleaning done in part by me and mostly my tech it plays great, frets are big, so you can dig in, and the guitar is really a good player !!

Trem feels nice, yet a bit rattly... Pay attention !! On this model the bridge is not locked and will easily move, throwing off your intonation etc... you can lock the bridge posts in place though so not too much of a bother

Pickups sound fine, rhythm circuit puts the "jazz" back in jazzmaster ;) and sounds amazing!!!!!!

Tl;Dr: Guitar is good, be well prepared to not have a playable guitar out of the box!
