The Squier Contemporary Active Jazzmaster HH ST Surf Pearl combines the classic End '50s offset design with active pickups and a high-quality hardware equipment to a contemporary rock and metal guitar, whose high playing comfort and brute sounds set standards. In terms of construction, Squier relies on a light poplar body, which nestles comfortably against players with its typical lines in both sitting and standing position and offers unhindered access to the complete maple neck with the large cutaway. With the "C"-profile it fits perfectly in the hand, so that on the Indian Laurel fretboard every reef and lick comes out of your hand by itself. Two active Squier SCR ceramic humbuckers, whose hot output makes every amplifier sweat, also ensure adequate sound conversion. With powerful bass, a razor-sharp midrange and brilliant highs, they let every riff or lick cut through the band sound even during the deepest drop tuning. Last but not least, the Squier Contemporary Active Jazzmaster features precise Squier Standard die-cast tuners and the proven bridge setup of Tune-O-Matic and Stop Tailpiece.
it's an excellent guitar if you want to get something really decent without breaking the bank. you don't get the quality loss of a really cheap guitar while loosing upwards of a grand on a full fender
During difficult times, communication has been excellent in both buying the guitar and receiving it in less than a week. The quality of the guitar has a sound that resonates and brings a sense of emotive attachment from the first chord played. A great buy for a serious musician.
