The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster (3-Colour Sunburst) is a 6-string electric guitar taken from the Fender/Squier 2019 Classic Vibe range. The '60s Jazzmaster boasts many features from classic instruments of that era; the 1960s headstock markings, 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, nickel-plated hardware, a vintage-tinted gloss neck application and a pair of Fender designed Alnico single-coil pick-ups. The slim “C” shape neck (9.5” radius) makes fretting notes and chords effortless, and the Indian Laurel fingerboard is spaced by narrow-tall frets. A 6-saddle vintage-style Bridge with non-locking floating vibrato facilitates perfect string bending techniques. The diverse circuitry of the Jazzmaster is represented superbly by the Classic Vibe '60s range, with tones from clean to distortion easily achieved whatever style of music is being made.
The main features of the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster (3-Colour Sunburst) include:
Very nice looking guitar, great value for money, pick ups are great, the only area I feel could be improved is the fret board, Indian laurel I believe is the wood used, it’s ok but not as good as rosewood in my opinion

I was intrigued by Leo Fender`s Jazzmaster Guitar and read about it with great interest. As the price for an American made instrument was not to be considered I ordered the Squier CV 60`s Jazzmaster instead. In 2008 and `09 I bought Classic Vibe 50`s and 60`s Strats.They then came with Alder bodies and I still play them and they`re still nice quality guitars. I was sent an instrument that must have been in the store for ages. One could see swelling at the back of the body and around the mid-neck section even slightly feel it. There was some mank at the back of the headstock and traces of polishing? in front either side by the neck-socket. Setting the intonation and neck was easy and this Jazzmaster imho did not need a shim with the factory 9`s. The single coils are powerful and the circuit with the tone options/settings is the real deal. I didn`t unpack the trem, so I didn`t use it. Being the way it was, I had the feeling that this was sent to me as new by mistake, though that is only my assumption. The playability of the neck, similar to Tele and Strat, and the weight of about 3.65kgs came in as comfortable enough, and I liked the variety of sound that one can create. But honestly, I think I can create those sounds with my strats and teles as well. Nevertheless, I recommend this instrument as a 2nd or 3rd, because it is interesting in looks, tone and playability. I do not recommend it as a beginner`s guitar.

Brilliant jazzmaster especially for the music that I'm into
It's my life long to play a jazzmaster especially the music that I'm into which is Shoegaze/dreampop/indie, this amazing edition of the fender squire jazzmaster has improved so much. By the neck/fretboard, the bridge has made a improvement and the body weight of the guitar itself feel lighter. It's almost close to the J Masics Jazzmaster
Brilliant guitar own and worth the money.

As far as bargain for your buck, you shouldn't look further than this Jazzmaster. I recently upgraded from my first guitar, a Squier Bullet Strat, and was able to make do with it. But after buying this bad boy my whole playing has changed. The tones are unbelievably clean and warm, and the sound you get with some distortion is just out of this world. The tremolo rig is perfect as well and the guitar stays in tune surprisingly well even when I put a lot of pressure on the strings. I highly recommend this guitar as an upgrade from your first or even as your first guitar because I'm certain it would play amazingly for years.
