Fender FSR Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster LRL Surf Green
With classic specs of the sixties
With the Squier FSR Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster LRL Surf Green Squier presents an electric guitar with classic specs of the sixties.
Fender designed Alnico Single Coils
Two Fender-designed Alnico single-coils with a wide coil body are used to produce the characterful sound of the popular offset design in neck and bridge position. Both pickups are naturally switched via separate Rhythm and Lead circuits with separate Volume and Tone controls.
Comfortable neck, floating tremolo
The bolt-on maple neck, meanwhile, features a slim C-profile and a modern 9.5" radius to specifically accommodate modern playing techniques. Furthermore, the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster features a traditional floating tremolo system with a 6-saddle vintage-style bridge, while aged pot knobs and a tinted gloss neck finish provide a neat old-school look.
The FSR '60s Jazzmaster from the Classic Vibe Series in Surf Green finish.

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.
