Here's a non vintage Jag, pretty stylish

Here's a nice Jazzmaster

Where to buy? Are there any special sellers you might suggest?
Useful links?
Tips on prices and different versions?
I'm not looking for a mint 1964 piece of expensive antique, of course.

Se non hai già guardato prova a dare un occhiata qui

http://www.mercatinomusicale.com

La versione giapponese della jazzmaster si dovrebbe trovare a prezzi decenti...
Quella americana originale invece costa uno stonfo

Domani sera provo a chiedere una dritta anche al chitarrista che suona con me e ti faccio sapere...

Sorry for the italian guys... :wink:

This one I really dig and I could actually buy:

J Mascis talks about his Fender® Jazzmaster® Guitar

that he actually plays in the video for "Been There All The Time" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEClvr1O44Q&feature=related (while Coco Moore is playing a Jag, right?).

Cool guitar !!!
I like the soapbar stile pickups of the jazzmaster more than the standard single coil of the jaguar

Seems like the J Mascis model is already fitted with the "Mustang style bridge" wich should be more solid
than the standard one...

Ok i'll ask my band's guitar player about this one model
But definitely it looks like a good guitar.
great color also...

Coco's guitar looks like a Jaguar with an Humbucker pickup fitted in the bridge
position in place for the standard single coil for a more aggressive sound.
That's why all the lower switches has become useless and are covered with the red tape.

Also the neck pickup looks different...no visible poles on it.

Heavy customization...
Like father like daughter :wink:

There is also a Lee Renaldo Jazzmaster, he's truly my hero, but the J Mascis model is a beauty (and affordable).

Look at Lee and Thurston's Jazzmasters at the top of the page :).

Thurston one's great.
It shows the signs of some really heavy battles. :)

And now it reads 4:21

And nothing to do with the hour...but it rains cats and dogs here.

Allora il mio chitarrista dice che sono chitarre abbastanza particolari...
Hanno un suono molto definito e non sono molto versatili dal punto di vista della timbrica.
Sia la Jaguar che la Jazzmaster hanno il problema del ponte (che però mi sembra di capire che
sulla Signature J Mascis sia stato risolto).

Il commento finale comunque è stato: "Va bè restano comunque Fender e fatte bene, se ti piace
quel tipo di timbro son chitarre che suonano da sole"

"Also sprach" my guitar player....

Nel mio caso io cerco proprio quel tipo di timbro. Merci you.
