Jazzmaster 40th Anniv LPB : What a disappointment...

After some research I decided to pick this one up because I like the shape, the tones and the feel of offset guitars. Given the price and the quality Squier offers in recent years the Jazzmaster 40th Anniv seemed like a very nice deal.

After recieving the guitar, I soon discovered different major flaws with this guitar:

- the rythm tone control keeps spinning and doesn't function properly

- several screws in the pickguard and on the pickups are rusted (even the allen key that came with the guitar was rusty)

- half of the screws in the pickguard are misaligned/put in crooked

- there is a noticeable fault in the paint

- string and bridgebuzz all over the place (even for a jazzmaster), hence an inferior sound

Clearly not the guitar I was hoping for. Sure, most of the issues might be repairable, but one might expect more quality out of the box.
