Ryan, I just want to say that in these trying times, it is such a comfort just to see and hear you. Your easygoing demeanor is very calming. Thank you for doing what you do.
I've been watching you and a bunch of other people playing surf music. Wow just bought a squire jazz master for $86.00 including shipping😆😆😆I just can't believe it !!!
Absolutely legendary band hailing from my area. The most fun show you could see. And the nicest guys…. Opened for them a couple times… Unfortunately one of the members passed not too long back. Really bummed me out :( Ouchy I know this video is old, but if you read this check them out. Recordings or live. God damn I mis them. So many memories…
Don't remember if you mentioned this, but if you use both pickups (using the lead circuit position, of course), they kill the hum and so become pretty much a single humbucker pickup. That's cuz they're reverse wound.
Thank you ryan! I feel like every guitar question I ever have you have a video answering it. I also want to thank you for your honest opinions on guitars they have helped alot through my guitar shopping!
I have the exact same Squier Jazzmaster - even the same finish and really like mine a lot!! Exactly, these are not P90 pickups and are quite bright. That's why I like the Rhythm circuit which gives them a darker and thicker sound. As I understand, it has its own capacitor thus creating the different tone. And yes, I use mine with gain to get a humbucker type of sound just like you suggested. I did not have to install a mastery bridge and I have no problem with buzzing and I even use 9 gauge.
I just put a Jazzmaster neck pickup in my Jaguar, and it sounds absolutely amazing (especially with both pickups turned on). I recommend it for anyone with a Squier or other Jaguar that they don’t mind modifying
@@eastwoofer it was a Fender. Pure Vintage ‘65. Is imagine that any of the Seymour Duncans, or any other Jazzmaster neck pickups that aren’t humbuckers would be dark enough to get the right sound, though. Nice and deep, with a nice trebly edge to it
You are Great! I know exactly how you feel researching, searching and tracking down a guitar you desire. Unfortunately I now have too many! Thanks for the video. Your playing was also great.
The difference between the body dimensions of the two guitars has more to do with the time and place of their manufacture than different "official" shapes of the two guitars' designs, in my opinion. Anyway, I know that my 1966 Fender Jaguar and my 1966 Fender Electric XII have identical bodies (with different pickups and hardware, of course), and I suspect that Jazzmasters of the period matched that same size and shape, as well. Also- with the Jaguar there are nice mods you can do with the switches: You can substitute the slide switches for pickup selection to double-throw (on-on)- type switches that look the same as the regular ones, and use the down (formerly off) switch positions together to produce a series circuit for the two pickups. You can also wire the "rhythm" circuit to "hear" whatever you select in the lower circuit (instead of only the neck pickup), and you'll get enough sounds to almost need a pilot's license to play it.
Thanks. I am trying to decide between these two guitars just cos I am interested in the tremelo system and yours is the best video comparison I have seen so far.
Both beautiful axes you got there Ryan👍 same thing with me too, with my Squier Classic Vibe 70s it's my 1st guitar like I tell my friend squire's been stepping up their game. Anyways keep rocking man and awesome review 😎🎸👍
I have a Squier JM Jazzmaster. Took a little work, polished frets and board, lowered action, intonated it. 0000 Steel Wool and took the lacquer off the neck. I have repro 65 Fender JM pups but I love the factory. Really vintage and raw sounding. My favorite guitar.
Earlier this year I got an older Squier Jaguar with rosewood fingerboard and surf green body. $250, best buy ever. Never had a Jag, had only played one in a store once. I went through a hellish month for unrelated reasons after I bought it, but this thing became my best friend, and I fell in love with it. That's a beautiful red Jag too, my old bandmate played a red MIJ Jag bass and it sounds awesome too.
Awesome. Just picked up a MIJ Jaguar from an estate sale that looks identical to yours. Came with the original Fender case and receipts from a trade in ‘99. I just put new strings on it and dusted it off and it looks like it’s never been played! I’m pretty stoked about about it lol. Although I may have to look into that trem upgrade if it makes that much of a difference
I am looking forward to see how those pickups are . I just bought a square jazzmaster, I'm in love white this guitar. I have wanted one from the first time I played one six years ago!!
Ryan, the rhythm switch is the neck pickup only, running on a 1 Meg volume and 50k (not 500) tone pot. That's basically equivalent to only allowing about 2 out of 10 on the lead circuit using the neck pickup, but it still sounds different because of the pot value.
oh, on the Jazzmaster bridge... Mine has the factory saddles everyone "hates" on... I used "modelers" (small) files and notched the centers of each saddle. the raised the bridge as touch to compensate, use nines on it.. they do not pop or or move. Zero dollar cost. if you want to go back to the STOCK look? Remove the grub screws, flip it over reinsert.. VIOLA! Also did the mod to the trem, removing and re-inserting the one screw from ABOVE to BELOW,, to remove interference. Easy stuff. The Squier VM is all but impossible to beat!
Why do guitars call to us and overpower all logical reasoning. I bought a Epiphone Sheraton-II Pro Ebony yesterday on Reverb. My hours at work have been cut because of what's happening here in America and now because of the siren call of the guitar I will now struggle. But my life has always been a struggle, get used to it.
I'm in the same spot man! I discovered the Epi Lee Malia RD Artisan back in February, fell in love at first sight, decided I wanted to pull the trigger but found out they were a limited run back in 2017 only 1000 shipped to the US. zzounds has some B stock and blemished still new for a discounted price but I wanted a nice, mint new one. Finally found one after a few weeks of hunting, new in mint condition from Chicago Music Exchange, they were wanting full retail, but talked them down a bit to $850 and got free shipping. Literally two weeks after this I was laid off due to Covid 😅😂😂 but man, I have no regrets! This is by far the nicest Epi I have ever owned or that they have made. Full custom Gibson USA pups and components stock, Indo made. It's great! And it's been making a great quarantine buddy lmao.
I too made a recent gear purchase (new amp) right before the Covid layoffs and I was sweating it for a few weeks, but then came to realize that one of the best ways to combat hunger is with the sweet tones I get while playing.
Great video. Thank you very much. I've wanted a jaguar for as long as I can remember. I'm left handed, so you know the problem I've had getting one. I may get myself a squire jazzmaster, which I know are now available. Heard some bad stories about new Squire guitars, they need a lot of work doing to them, in regards to setting them up. Maybe I should just take a chance? Thanks again for the video. 😁
@@darrellm3410 oh shit okay respect. I like the shorter scale but if u want a bigger guitar then the jazzmaster is the way to go. It’s still an amazing guitar and I’ve had many internal battles on which one to get lol

Perfectly good video, thank you! No criticisms, I like the "flaws" as some might call them. I call it "real". Now I'm shopping for a Jazzmaster to hang next to my Jag. Thanks pal. ;-/
Love your reviews. I have the same MIJ Jag in red, but switched out the pickups so long ago I forgot what they are...The neck pick up is quite high gain, and maybe too much for the guitar. Perhaps I should put the original back in the neck, I have them somewhere. Are the original neck and bridge pups the same on this Jag? Also, do you have any opinion on the Fender Vintera 60s Jazzmaster in their current line up?
I'd love to see you do the series/parallel with in and out of phase mod on your Jaguar. The strangle switch becomes a phase switch when both pickups are in either series or parallel. A total of six diffent settings on the lead circuit.
I have/ both... a CIJ jag in ice blue..( i had a real 66 I shouldve kept)..& a Squier Jazz.. that i replaced all the electronics/ pick ups with US stuff.( and a metallic gold guard)... great guitars.
That’s crazy I just bought that same candy apple red Jaguar on reverb but the one I purchased it was MIM I just love the color and it said the guitar was like brand new even though it was six years old supposedly. Paid 800 I hope that was a decent price.
It really seems like you prefer the jaguar ,You put a lot more effort into the jazz master. You had more fun with it. I own a lot of guitars. I’ve been playing since 1980. I’m just looking for my first I guess real surf offset I’ve got every Tisco Delray ever made every model Goes I guess they’re surfing guitars they’ve got a ton of switches and knobs and things that I’m still 44 years later trying to figure out I’ve got gretches and DeArmonds (original issue).
It's not the bridge you need to worry about. That switching system is VERY intimidating and confusing for new players, and that will easily be your biggest hurdle to getting comfortable with your instrument.
hlaf ruclips.net/video/oQL_z6l2Lck/видео.html I have this. I know it still kinda looks like jazzmaster pickups but they absolutely sound like p90’s and that’s what I consider them. They have screws like p90’s instead of flat pole pieces. I’ve been trying to get a hold of 65 pure vintage jazzmaster pickups.
boxerfencer no I don’t have the one he has. I have a 2016 classic player that look like regular jazzmaster pickups but they’re actually p90s. They’re way too hot and muddy
Jazzmaster is standard 25.5" scale length, not 25" as stated in this video. Mosrite is 25", though, and it's absolutely perfect, imo. Weird that it's right in between a standard Fender 25.5" and Gibson 24.75" and it feels so perfect, yet the 2 major brands just avoided it.
It is. Jazzmaster is 25.5" scale, Jaguar is 24" scale. Also the Mustang is a 24" scale as well. Musicmasters and Duo Sonics started out as 22.5" scale, but switched to 24".

The rhythm circuit difference is the 50k tone pot, instead of 1meg in the lead position. Volumes are the same
I was amazed at the Squier CV Mustang, It wont fit in my Strat gig bag and yet is shorter scale length.
Phil Dale that is weird, what part of it doesn’t fit?
hi there! thanks for this. I read about bridge problems in jazzmasters. Whiich models suffer from this most?
As for mods on the squire, why not tie that rhythm circuit to the neck pickup, as you suggested?
