The J Mascis Squier Jazmaster is the first time I realized that Squier guitars were officially cool. In addition to its beyond handsome looks (helloooo, gold anodized aluminum pickguard!), it has a comfortable satin finish neck, full traditional Jazzmaster controls, an upgraded Adjusto-Matic™ bridge, and more.

In short, this guitar sounds and plays great. This was actually purchased by my drummer, who let me do this demo, so shout out to Dan Normal! He's had it for a few days now and he's completely in love with it. He'd previously been playing a cheap partscaster tele and I think it was turning him off on guitar somewhat, so it goes to show how having a solid guitar is important for people just learning guitar.

For the value, I think it's a stellar guitar. I only see a few downsides to it:

1. Though the Adjusto-Matic™ bridge is better than the vintage traditional, I think a Mastery or something more designed for vibrato use will hold up better.
2. It's kind of heavy, but, I mean, it's a Jazzmaster. It's not heavy for a Jazzmaster, but it's heavy for my taste.
3. I love the FEEL of the satin neck, but I think a tinted satin neck looks a little cheap close up.
4. It definitely needs a setup out of the box, which is to be expected, honestly.
