Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster Surf Green

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.

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.

Nice guitar for a nice price, Thank You.
