Jazzmaster 40th Anniv OW : Best guitar I've had so far

3 years ago

I sold my Gretsch Electromatic to buy this (far cheaper) guitar and after polishing the frets and oiling the fretboard, doing some minor setup things I must say it's probably one of my favourite guitars that I've ever played. I have owned a fender jazzmaster before but that one had a messed up truss rod.

I love the sound and feel of this guitar, the only things I would change are to get thicker/taller frets and just some better pickups (even though the installed ones already sound very good). The trem bar also comes loose a bit too easily, I'll come up with a fix.

Stays in tune remarkably well for a JM. I've seen some comments about the tuners etc but I've personally had no problems with them, I guess it could be a matter of luck with the exact guitar you're gonna receive which is a bit of a bummer. Even if the tuners were bad they are cheap and easy to replace.
