Nice demo, I really enjoyed your playing. The bridge in the JM is definitely an improvement, but I prefer to have the rhythm circuit, roller pots and all. It can be used to go immediately from a soft quiet part to more aggressive sound, which can be useful, especially with a Fuzzface. It can be used to get a bit earthier tones than the regular tone circuit achieves for the quiet bits without having to find a spot on the volume and tone knobs quickly to come out front more. It can be used as a kill switch to quiet a guitar in a noisy room, they are single coils after all. And it can be used to toggle sound on and off for effect Tom Morello style.
The biggest fix ever was moving the bridge closer to the saddles based on a suggestion for the J Mascis version. Interestingly, they did not incorporate this very desirable improvement on this model. Fender still relies on its legacy rather than actual improvements. Which isn't a bad thing, its just not really "perfecting" anything.
No rhythm circuit? No thank you
Perfect platform for modding – not sure about the Jag but these Jazzmasters have all the routing under their pickguards.
Great demo and playing!
Me: "Oh they fixed the shitty bridges finally after SIXTY FIVE years?" Nope, they did not.
Love it! Love you, John! was within fifty feet of you, once, at a guitar show, but didn't get to meet you, you were covered up, but anyway, I can't afford Fender, I have to wait on Harley Benton to clone them. Then, I'll get one of these. Maybe we'll meet, in the future, I'd like that, I think you're a super nice guy, and I respect your knowledge and understanding of all the little nooks and crannies of making music.
Seems the Jazzmaster has the longer Fender scale length neck and the Jaguar has a shorter scale length neck. No ?
Always love John's just put together looking, zip tied pedalboard. Good times. And, you know the playing and review.
Oh hell no. They neutered them both! Literally nothing wrong with either guitar, apart from the bridges being barely passable for the past 60 years.
You must embrace the rollers, my friend!! ????
I'm waiting for the Vintage Plus Player Reto NOS Relic Journeyman Ultra Custom Super Time capsule Signature model before I replace my early 60s versions that were perfect from day 1.
That is not a freaking blue!!!!!That's teal!!!!why can't they get it right and mislead buyers?!!!!!!!
Gosh! Lovely Acid Jazz Tune, man! ❤
An offset should have a rhythm circuit.
I remember a time when you had room for a couch in that room. ????????
Great sounding guitars, but the spaghetti logo on a Jag doesn't look right (to me).
My player Jaguar sounded nasally and this guitar sounds warm and Jazzy
I'd love to see matching headstocks.
The video sucks. There's nothing perfect about Jaguar's huge upper chrome plate with only one small button!!!
For a second I thought they reinvent the ROCKING bridge
Factory shimmed or even angled necks pockets? surely the only problem that needs solving (from the factory)
I thought the Jag had a shorter scale length.
But, hey fender… Can't you just make 3 models: custom shop, classic American and starter model squire? Too many models.
Jazzmaster middle position isworth the price of admission…
Great playing John! May have to look into that Jaguar ????
Both of those guitars are impressive.
Great review. Thanks for letting the True Tone of the guitars come through ????.
alright
no rhythm circuit? pass
