Squier Jazzmaster 40th Anniv SFG Reviews

Excellent for the price.

A great guitar for £259. It sounds good and plays well. It's a bit brighter sounding than my other Jazzmaster. The seafoam green colour scheme is groovy baby! The only problem was a badly finished neck which was very rough to the touch, but after a bit of fine sanding it's nice and smooth now. Happy with this new addition to my little collection.

high end squier

I've ordered this guitar with no expectations on how good it will sound. I'm mainly metal genre player and these single coils are managing it on next level! Not the best ones for chugs, however everything else is just nice and warm. I've recorded lovely ambient leads in a few hours.

Now to the worse part: Fretboard needs polishing, few frets were sharp and strings came in a bit damaged. After all the changes required this guitar is machine able to handle soft and distorted tones like a champ.

This guitar is pure magic

I don't know what to say after playing all day with this jazzmaster. It definitely has some magic mojo, some magic fairy dust, I don't know. But it takes me back, way back. The sound is crystal clear and warm, even the bridge pickup sounds bright but warm at the same time, cannot explain this. I have a few Harley Benton teles that I love as well, but this one is so different, it adds a lot to my collection. I tend to play more ambient and slow music with this one, no rockabilly, no surf, even though others I am sure that will buy it for these genres. A little bit of reverb and i am getting lost into mysticistic bliss. If that make any sense. It didn't need any setup and I didn't change the strings, as I intended to do. The colors are fantastic, the feel of the neck and the body too. Definitely my favorite guitar so far. Squier keeps getting better and better!
