  • The winner in each round was the guitar! I never realized the Jazzmaster was so versatile. I thought it was only a surf/punk kind of guitar.

  • I'd love a Jazzmaster. Must be the only guitar named after a specific genre, which is hardly ever used for that genre. Maybe if they did a Fender Shredmaster, people would actually play jazz on it. ????
    Also most of the examples just sounded roughly like a strat to me!

  • JM PUP's are generally 3.5~4H inductance, while Strats are 2.3~2.8H. The JM's have less high end extension and a weaker resonace peak with the same pot values. The JM A5 poles are also much shorter, which weakens and spreads the feild, so the output isn't neccessarily sronger than a lower inductance Strat PUP with longer A5 poles, but it sounds like more low end because there is less high-end. An A2 or A3 Strat pickup in the 3.5~4H range would sound very similar to a JM with the exception of whatever effect any opposing flux lines coming off the strings and passing through the wider outer coil portion have. That could be why wide coil PUP's, inckuding P90s, seem to have a more hollow midrange character.

  • I thought Guillaime's sections more played to the Jazzmaster's strengths. It got lots of use as an alternative to Strats, as a funk machine, in the 70s. Don't forget the trem though, it's fickle but it's a huge part of the sound. For surf, but also for alt rock, and more experimental music too.

  • Interesting to see this "push" in Fender recently. Could it be a sign of impending doom? That's not possible? Is it? Why yes, yes it is very possible.

  • Whenever I see/hear someone else play a sexy looking JM I'm like "Damn! I need one".
    Then I try one and it's like the JM and I were not made for each other.
    I had the 40th anniv. Squier JM which was great I just don't like playing JMs so I sold it … sorryyyyyy

  • You forgot to feature one of the huge parts of this guitar, the classic whammy. It made them epic surfers

  • To me, trying to make a JM sound like a Tele or Strat is missing the point. It’s a different animal, lean into its uniqueness.

  • Always wanted one. Never had the Money and/ore chance for one. Would use it for New Wave and Post Punk sounds… And Surf for shure✌????

  • Best comment on a Jazzmaster ever (true story): "So this is called Jazzmaster, because it is great for Jazz, right?" 😉
