JA-25TH Firemist : Seriously an amazing guitar

2 years ago

I have purchased this guitar twice (still own both). I purchased one, loved it so much that I purchased another. Both guitars came pretty well set up albeit with a little bit of jagged fret edges... which ironically I prefer so I can file them myself. So for me that's a plus, for others it may not be. Fit and finish is fantastic. I couldn't find a flaw anywhere. The bridge was properly intonated. The flame maple neck looks great (real flamey on one, not so much on the other). The pickups sound great. Anybody buying this guitar will be happy with it out of the box. The only modifications I plan on making is when I do my first string change I'll line the pickup cavity with copper foil. It's not that it's noisy and I'd say on par with any single coil guitar. I just copper foil all of my guitars whether they need them or not. NOTE: If you're buying a hard case for this, know that the guitar body is smaller than a standard jazzmaster so it will not fit snugly in a jazzmaster case.
