The J. Squier Mascis Jazzmaster Vintage White was developed together with the Dinosaur Jr. guitarist and turns out to be an ideal tool for juicy alternative Rock sounds. It Squier uses a Linde -coprus and a screwed maple neck, whose "C"-profile creates optimal playing conditions and lets every note go out of hand. Due to their special construction, the two Jazzmaster Single Coil pickups Squier deliver a rich tone, which nevertheless provides the necessary transparency, so that every tone remains defined even when crunchy Distortion . The Rhythm and Lead Circuit also provide an enormously wide sound spectrum. While the former is activated by means of the slide switch in the upper horn and provides the neck pickup with its own controls for volume and tone, the latter requires both pickups, which are managed by means of the 3-way toggle switch as well as master volume and master tone. Last but not least, the Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster Vintage White features classic Vintage-Style floating Tremolo , a Adjusto-Matic bridge and precise Vintage-Style mechanics.
I am very pleased with my Squire J Mascis Jazzmaster. I bought this guitar for home recording of lofi/jazz/hiphop sounds.
The build quality is great and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the guitar feels and looks.
I have found the guitar to be really nice to play, the neck is very nice and I quickly adjusted my playing to the instrument.
The sound is great as well. I am still experimenting with how to get the best out of the guitar and so far I am very pleased with the results.
Overall I recommend this guitar. I considered spending a lot more on a Fender. However I am very satisfied with the great value for money this instrument represents.
