Finally having one coming in, I'd like your opinion about the CIJ stock pickups and your favorite bridge solution. Will a mustang bridge work good enough, have you ever tried a tune-o-matic and does a buzzstop ruin the "classic" Jazzmaster sound?
After watching a lot of your vids, I figured you were the right man to ask. Great playing all along, by the way!
Question...do you like this Japan 66 RI stock better or the one you have that's Lake Placid Blue I think with the Seymour Duncan Antiquity IIs in it? I'm shopping and would like your opinion. Thx.
yeah man. anything below tens destroys tone on jazzys. Ive got .11s on the high E and .48s on the low. Great job by the way. On the solo did you dial that tone knob down a little or did you go all out?
I don't know why, but gibsons just seem like crap to me. Guess its because the newer models have poor quality. Id much rather that crazy jazzmaster than a les paul. Gibson's been slacking quality wise.
Get one. A few years ago my dad gave me his old original 57' Jazzmaster, plain ash finish, reddish pick guard, and... I have to say. It beats the hell out of my Les Paul.
its the 66 model with block inlays. Ive got the 62 one with dot inlays. Love the jazzmaster =) Gonna get some SD antique 2 pups soon. Nice playing too!
WOW.... SORRY YOUR VIDEO ATTRACTED SUCH A GIBSON vs. FENDER BRAWL.... ISN'T THIS TOPIC DEAD YET?
anyways, How are the lollar pickups? I just picked up a AVRI jazzmaster and the pickups are decent. since the JM is already Punchy..... any hard playing sounds like a miniature SONIC BOOM!!!!!
Right now.... I am considering the Curtis Novak pickups...
i think fenders are good if you wanna play clean rock or funk. if you wanna go for some overdrive or sweet solos, the gibson is a better choice. jazzmasters are awesome
Clever answer;)I only wanted to say that I prefer Gibson t(o Fender cause Fenders all types) sound too slick and transparent for me. They lack that low, angry growl that Gibsons have. Sorry if you feel offended;) I hope you don't;)
Yes you are, dick head. You felt slightly guilty for saying something so fucking stupid. Fenders sound like that on a clean channel, the only difference between them in the thickness of sound is another coil in the pickups. Fenders are brilliant for playing songs where the lead singer plays a Fender. That doesn't mean you can just class them all like that, and some of them do have two coils anyway. It certainly doesn't mean you should say "fuck Fender" so think before you speak.
that's rigth. for example, since our friend here plays floyd: The gilmour sound IS the fender sound and even when he had a gibson guitar he had one with P90 (Single coiled). Saying Fuck fender would be like saying fuck guitars because without fender solid bodied guitars wouldn't exist the way they do. Sure Lester polfus (Known as Les Paul) came up with it at the same time but gibson hated the idea until fender made a sucess with the tele....
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
sory but to all jazmaster players but a fender jazz master is a pice you can get the same feel and playability from a good strat a jazz master is a flop fender even admits it
dude, they have this feel...like, so smooth and cool to play. i love strats, but jazzys ftw. it is a good guitar. it requires a little modification, but after that, it's your baby. you can't put it down.
Hey,Ive noticed that you are a huge Jazzmaster player,and Ive been thinking of getting a Squire JagMaster,MIJ series,and I really want it to be a Jaguar Jazzmaster combo,and I want a bright,mellow pickup sound for the neck pickup,would you recomend I put a Jazzmaster soapbar in it?
don't get one, they sound like a mustang mixed with a strat and a jag. not that i don't like the sound, but it's not what you're looking for. trust me.
..he's an idiot Jazz11, doesn't know the 1st thing about guitars from the comment he made; he needs to clean his ears out! How does he know what 'sound' your looking for.. I own all 4 Fender models; Strat, Tele, Jazz & Mustang..they don't all sound alike!
5 yrs later since this video was made...where is this Jazzmaster today? Still in good shape?

Is this a reissue model?
I've never seen the CBS style bindings and inlays on a reissue.
Also, how have you set this up to do such big bends? Mine has really high action but still frets out beyond set twelve.
Mcbain12 3 years ago
This a CIJ JM66B.
7.25 radius needs an excellent truss rod, nut and frets set up (and sometimes a neck shim)
If everything is well balanced you can play bid bends with a modarate action.
Jazzmaster11 3 years ago
OK, I didn't know they made those. Mine is the '62. After seeing this vid, I decided to dig it out and record a few tunes on it.

which would you recommend?
lozzargh123 3 years ago
Both are such great guitars, I can't answer cause it depends on your desire and ears!
The jazzmaster have a wider specter, soft and hot or twangy and powerfull.
The telecaster is the punchiest guitar ever with a trebelfull well balanced sound.

Wow that's such a hard decision... maybe plan to get one of each and see which one you use more?
