Overview

An icon of alternative rock, J Mascis' penchant for running Fender guitars into stacks of amps to create massive fuzzy riffs, incendiary leads, and huge hooks have made his work in Dinosaur Jr. and on solo records an indispensable part of rock history, influencing countless artists to follow.

The J Mascis Telecaster recreates J's favorite guitar, an original 1958 top-loader Tele, with which he recorded most of his lead work throughout his career. Features include a Dazzling Blue Sparkle finish, mirrored chrome pickguard, custom J Mascis Telecaster pickups, top-loader bridge and Road Worn maple neck and hardware.

When I first saw this guitar hanging in local guitar shop I thought the blue flake was sick. I knew nothing about it at that time. (I was buying a Strat at the time) I have bought a few guitars threw zZounds and after paying off another one, I decided to finance the J. Mascis Tele. First Telecaster I've owned. I hated it at first! Lol But after playing it more, I started to see all the work Fender put in to aging it and the neck looks & feels like I've had it forever and that it was built for me! The custom shop pickups scream and this guitar sounds like no other guitar in my collection. I have over 35 guitars! I love it now!... and now I know why J. Mascis fell in love with the original. Great guitar and a super value for the price! If your looking for that Dinosaur Jr, grungy, sound. Look no further than this J. Mascis artist series Telecaster!
