i expect this one to stay in the collection for a while its a definate keeper with all that versitality and awsome vibe, i like it no less than any of my other jazzmasters and a little more than some, dont miss the opportunity to own a great guitar at an awsome price, get this one!

Sound
amazing tone!!the neck p/u has that classic jazzmaster jangle the bridge gives you gainy tones perfect for broken up blues licks to blistering rock solos you can dial in almost any tone you can think of, my favorite is both p/u's on for rich thick tone with high end bite, vey versitile with the two defferent p/u combo on this axe.

Features
not many features but in my opinion thats what makes this axe so great!! very simple and to the point one volume one tone and toggle switch for p/u selection. a great neck its thickon top but slim! and fast at base,with rosewood skunk stripe on back and covered in poly gloss! mine has a great finish on the body i choose the vintage sunburst, its absolute eye candy, gets alot of compliments at gigs!

Ease of Use
plays like butter i gave a 9 because it does have typical jazzmaster issues with the bridge, be prepered for the usual remedeys if your a jm owner you know about using locktite for loose screws due to vibration of bridge, i used ptft tape for (plumbing pipe) on my bridge component screws and restrung with 10-46, and no rattle whatsoever stays in perfect tune!… read more the jm works awsome with pedals too!

Quality
very durable well made, my 2 yr old daughter droped it off a kitchen table on its neck, i cringed thinking for sure it had snaped!! but to my surprize not even a scratch and it didnt even come out of tune!! im sold on this one. i gig this without a backup only after the ptft tape on bridge screws. otherwise those saddles will move on you!

Value
a jazzmaster for 450 dollors, with amazing tone and quality build, fantastic deal its made in mexico (big deal) i guess theyre doing great builds in mexico these days

Manufacturer Support
cmon its fender need i say more!! my past expierence with fender has been awsome, very supportive crew

The Wow Factor
very sexy guitar, even if your the most uncool looking musician at least ur axe will be cool on stage! if it sounded terrible i would own it for its pure vibe alone!
