Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster Electric Guitar, Butterscotch Blonde

zZounds Gear Experts Say...

Designed for jazz guitarists, this electric guitar from Squier has an offset waist and a contoured body.

Overview

With its offset waist and contoured body, the Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster gives a nod to its iconic forbearer, but it has much more going for it that makes it truly "modified."

The top-loading hard tail bridge features string saddles that are adjustable for intonation and designed to have a 9.5" radius when sitting flat on the bridge plate. The bridge is anchored at the rear of the plate while the front sits atop height adjustment screws that can be raised or lowered to achieve desired string height/action, while subtle adjustment at the rear (anchor) achieves the correct bridge angle. Custom Duncan Designed(TM) pickups offer tones from glassy smooth to jangly rockin' rhythm crunch, with a vintage-tone neck pickup and higher-output bridge pickup. Other features include '62 Jazz Bass(R) stacked concentric volume/tone controls, vintage-style tuners and a comfortable one-piece maple neck.

This guitar is a joy to play. Now, I had to do some set up after I received it. It needed a neck adjustment and an intonation tweak, but once that was done, all was well. The only nitpick I have about it now is the frets need a little smoothing out on the edges. But for the money, this baby is a hell of a bargain. The pickups have a great boldness and clarity, and the controls give you a huge array of tones. It's got a great look, and the butterscotch finish is fabulous. Looks great with the tinted neck, which really feels good to navigate. I say check this one out!
