Jazzmaster GAS

[Kilby]

For the jaguar using heavier strings removes the need for a buzz stop (though the normal fix was to install a Mustang bridge)

With a 24 inch scale the heavier strings make a fair bit of sense

As for Jazzmasters I can never quite make up my mind if I love or hate them, currently it's love cos of the Ravonettes song Love in a trashcan

i suppose i would fit duncan antiquities (ahem ahem cough - sorry) if i'd have one of the new MIM reissues

Of all the guitars I have bought and sold, the only one I regret selling was a late 1960's custom color Jazzmaster. Mint condition, candy apple red with matching headstock, block inlays.

As long as you realize it isn't a Strat and is not trying to be a Strat, you can understand that it is a maginificent guitar.  The trem on that guitar was also a thing of beauty.

If anyone sees something like that guitar, LET ME KNOW.

I've been looking for that specific guitar for years, and I would recognize my old Jazzmaster anywhere.

I tend to like guitars with their intrinsic quirks in-tact.  If I bought a Jazzmaster/Jaguar, I'd want a vintage correct one.

The candy-apple red ones with matching headstocks are pure sex, phwoar!

The pickups on the CP Jazzmaster are effectively P90s not strat pickups (i.e. bar magnet connected to pole pieces). 

As BKP don't make Jazzmaster pickups I would get Curtis Novaks Alnico III ones - a friend has a set in his Jap Jazzmaster (which are strat pickups in a Jazzmaster cover) and they are 'surf city here we come' type Jazzmaster tone.
