Good choice! Yeah, I almost bought the Strat in this color but I wanted something way different! Would love to have you subscribe if not already and please help spread the word! Thanks!
Yeah I think it would be. Cleans up nice but can push harder than p90s when it’s time to get dirty! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
I own this guitar (as I own a Gibson Les Paul Classic, an Ibanez rga42fm, a Fender Mustang, a Telly 52 and a GTRS 801) and it rocks. Absolutely. I use it for Pop Punk and Hard Rock and it sounds really good. The coil split is awesome (more than on the Gibson Classic) and it has a great gain and a really powerful sound. The fretboard is quite dark, even if is Pau Ferro, it looks pretty good.. It seems you don't like this guitar, but i love it, it's my favourite on stage.. Maybe you took a bad one.. :D Greetings from Italy!
HAHAHAHA! I just bought the J Mascis Jazz only to trade it for this one...I wish I could justify keeping the Mascis model, it's a great Squier Jazz, though! (Sh!t, maybe I will keep it....it's $450 after my discount...ugh...I love playing Mr.Mascis tunes)
I’m not sure why so many reviewers in the US have issues with the fret ends and nut, I live in Australia and tried one out at my local guitar shop and it played absolutely great, I don’t know if I just got lucky or the Pau Ferro fretboards shrink in the cooler climate of the US?
Yep, the colder parts of the US and here in Canada we suffer from extremely low humidity during long winters of very low tempertatures. It can really cause a lot of damage to guitars if you don't constantly augment the air humidity.
The Orange is cool and a bit scooby doo 😂😂 My issue with this one that spoils the looks and looses the Jazzmaster sound is the Humbuckers. No, just No...!!!!! It should have those very odd Jazzmaster Pickups. They can be almost forgiven for not including all the proper switching circuit that Jazzmasters should really have. If they are not going to put the right pickups in, then at least a set of P0’s would have been a step in the right direction. If I got one a Set of fat P90’s would have been the first aftermarket change.
I absolutely love the Orange, but for a few more bucks I can get the Orange Godin Session R-HT Pro which is a pristine instrument. Thanks for the review.
i suggest if you are wuiling to save up or get a micro loan from the shop the best one to get is the noventera series jazzmaster i got that and its my finally good guitar thats actually fender and isnt crappy still mim but thats ok just dont get the squier affinity from this year so theres the end to my search for a guitar this year if you like this one its cool but i suggest the noventera p90 version not actually that noisey on the pickup
At the end of the day, get what you pay for. No mim fender will be absolutely perfect from the factory. As for the nut, any tech can fix that along with any other issues. As for the coil tap, put p bass knobs on it and that will make it easier to pull it up. As for the tone, tap it and eq around the single coil setting and if it sounds good it should also work in humbucker mode.
Good tips - hate the thought of changing the nobs as they are such a part of the look. I can and have fixed the nut slotting. My sons Player Strat was in fact perfect from the factory so it can and does happen. Money wasn’t a consideration- I had played one at the Hard Rock Hotel a couple of times and wanted the Capri Orange. Almost wish I’d gotten a used US with the P90s though. I just mainly wanted something different, which this is but was surprised at the coil tap since my Charvel coil tap is so so good. No redialing in the eq with that. Would love to have you subscribe if not already!
My experience tells me that it can be with the MiM stuff, although my son’s Player Series Strat is just about perfect! Love your screen name! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🤘🏻🎸
Hi Alan, I still stick with my Strats and and Teles. Gave it a thought about buying a jazzmaster and ended up buying the Ernie Ball Music Man Stingray instead .similar body shape and plays and sounds great. Don't mind the color though. If you want that Fender to hold tune, you must do a full setup before playing and change the strings to Daddario and you didn't say if it had locking tuners, if not, replace them.
Jaguar is a much shorter scale and might feel weird. I'd go with the Jazzmaster. Let me know what you end up getting! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Bruce!
I like it too! There’s more on this specific guitar recently and what I’ve done to it if you’re interested! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
People say the same thing about you behind your back. If you don’t like something just go away. Nobody here cares what the f you think. Go watch Darrell Braun.
Wtf this is not a cheap guitar he’s like you’re on a budget it’s damn expensive for someone well most of us who get paid fuk all from our music weather you’re trying or not I’d say this is a mid range price if i could afford it i would get the sonic youth thurston or Ronaldo signature i can’t believe how much this stuff costs i just want one good instrument
I think the orange is neat, added this to my funny video playlist because the dialogue is funny as shit Edit: just now noticed the Papa shirt, Ghost is easily my favorite band. Awesome dude
That’s so great to hear! I’m probably more passionate about bringing laughter to people than I am even the music! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Doc! 🤘🏻🎸
Ive always hated fender offsets because they were always used by hacks that couldnt really play ( kurt cobain), but the older I get the cooler I think they look.
I’m kind of in the same boat. I wasn’t into Thurston Moore or J Mascis and I’m still not but I’m starting to like them. Same with the Gibson Firebirds.
Do you like gear reviews and demos? Of course you do! Check out the full playlist here! ruclips.net/p/PLJ7bQFZhdVlM7HBhb45mPk_mPBJMD9ZJR
Orange is beautiful on this guitar. My favorite color. I will definitely be buying one. Love this unique Orange beauty
Good choice! Yeah, I almost bought the Strat in this color but I wanted something way different! Would love to have you subscribe if not already and please help spread the word! Thanks!
I'm in a grunge band right now and it looks great for grunge
Yeah I think it would be. Cleans up nice but can push harder than p90s when it’s time to get dirty! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks

Thanks and I’ve come to like it more since then!
I showed up for the Dinosaur Jr riffage but alas there was none lol. Nice shirt!!
Lol thanks! I need to learn some DJr riffs and maybe do a great Jazzmaster riffs video!
HAHAHAHA! I just bought the J Mascis Jazz only to trade it for this one...I wish I could justify keeping the Mascis model, it's a great Squier Jazz, though! (Sh!t, maybe I will keep it....it's $450 after my discount...ugh...I love playing Mr.Mascis tunes)
You are the fuckin' funniest gear dude on YT - love your vids. You speak my language. Keep 'em coming.
Oh man thanks! Welcome to the family!
Never seen this channel. Saw the name “GearGasms” and immediately subscribed.

I think it’s part climate but the nut thing is hit or miss. My son’s Player Strat is perfect!
I also have it. No problems except a bit of rattling in the trem but that was an easy fix

Yeah I played one of these in a different finish and really liked it but now feel like it should have had soap bars in it. Thanks Paul!
I absolutely love the Orange, but for a few more bucks I can get the Orange Godin Session R-HT Pro which is a pristine instrument. Thanks for the review.
You’re welcome! Never played a Godin but hear good things!
are you able to put a regular fender jazzmaster pickguard and pickups on the player series?
I don’t know but I’m guessing their may be some differences? Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks! Love the screen name!🤘🏻🎸
@@GearGasms Alright bro thank you, you got my sub :)
Talking about "nerdy guitar", the guitar won't notice who is playing it.

Is the nut issue common with Fenders? My Squier jagmaster had high E that would pop out of the nut!!

Amazing Guitar Fender Jazzmaster, I like Capri Orange!
Thanks Orlando! Would love to have you subscribe if not already. thanks!

Yeah I am bad about keeping the factory strings on for too long! It just needs breaking in! Happy Friday Mike!
I just picked up a Player series Tele wow what a bargain 🤷🏻♀️
I’m jealous! I almost got one but can’t justify having three Teles! What color did you get?
I was looking to buy this one or a player series Jaguar which would you buy or should I just get something else
Jaguar is a much shorter scale and might feel weird. I'd go with the Jazzmaster. Let me know what you end up getting! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Bruce!
Thanks for the help I will let you know what I end up with but I am close to going with the jazzmaster
I like the guitar. I think that you may have been a wee bit hard on it.
I like it too! There’s more on this specific guitar recently and what I’ve done to it if you’re interested! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks
I love the orange
Yeah it’s killer looking on this guitar! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks Richard!
An ebony board would help. The Pau Ferro look sucks.
I agree! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks!
Wish it was a rosewood fretboard the darker wood would make it not look cheap
Agreed. I kind of hate the fingerboard color
Most Pau Ferro looks like shit
I really enjoyed this review. Thanks!
Brian Beattie hey Brian - thanks for saying that! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! 🎸🤘🏻
I heard the bridge sucks. I love the color
I haven’t stressed it too much yet but I’ll be on the lookout for issues! Thanks
So is it good??
It is
I literally cannot stand this guy talking
People say the same thing about you behind your back. If you don’t like something just go away. Nobody here cares what the f you think. Go watch Darrell Braun.
Dk if I want this or the buttercream
I love the buttercream! I almost wish I had gotten the more traditional P90s. Let me know what you get!
Nice Marshall
Thanks!!
what do we learn today.... this is a jazzmaster trying to be something its not..... keep it
lol - I love it! Wishing I had gotten the P90s! 😜🎸

Sorry - Everyone has a different budget. But I think there’s a good Squier version?
Needs a cream pickguard
That’s interesting. I’ve never thought about that before- trying to picture it! Would love to have you subscribe if not already! Thanks brother! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🎸

Красивая гитара :)
thank you!
If the intonation near the nut is off I dont think it matters, only people with no guitar skills are going to be buying this guitar
Like me! Lol
You don't seem to be a fan of this guitar at all. Why would you even review it?
Because I bought it. With my own money. For me. There’s more content with this guitar if you’re interested
@@GearGasms You bought it but, you don’t like the color?
I do Ike the color. Where did I say I don’t like the color?
Ive always hated fender offsets because they were always used by hacks that couldnt really play ( kurt cobain), but the older I get the cooler I think they look.
I’m kind of in the same boat. I wasn’t into Thurston Moore or J Mascis and I’m still not but I’m starting to like them. Same with the Gibson Firebirds.
My Duo Sonic is amazing....
