Get Yours From Cream City Music here: bit.ly/SparkOM...
Understated elegance - the elusive quality of an exquisitely crafted tool, produced of the finest components and designed to do one thing exceedingly well - the Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster is a high-performance no-nonsense rock-n-roll machine with unlimited range.
The custom 3-piece body features a mahogany core and chambered ash wings, delivering warmth, sustain, and resonance - and is beautifully highlighted by the nitrocellulose lacquer finish in 3-color sunburst. Meanwhile, the satin lacquer maple neck with 9.5” radius, 22-fret rosewood fingerboard ensures smooth, effortless playability.
The high-performance engine at the heart of the Spark-O-Matic is a calibrated triple set of chrome-covered Seymour Duncan SM-1N and SM-3B Mini-Humbuckers. Paired with a 5-way switch, these tightly-tuned and punchy pickups are pure joy to shift through - going from smooth growl to full-throttle roar.
The American Pro Jazzmaster bridge and classic offset vibrato tailpiece is smooth and expressive, with a tasteful range of motion. ClassicGear™ tuners offer timeless good looks and a modern 18:1 gear-ratio for precise tuning accuracy and stability.
Luxurious in its appointments, elegant in its simplicity, the Spark-O-Matic Jazzmaster delivers just what you need to achieve sonic bliss.

I like how this sound chunky like a gibson with the mini humbuckers, but gets the twang of a tele on the 2 and 4 positions. Really a cool guitar that can fit all styles and looks real grunge to boot.

Mine arrives this Tuesday coming up. Can't wait. Great pickin', my man. This is the way a demo should be recorded - well done.

When I see three pickups, something immediately pops up in my head, ah... there must be that mandatory classic quack, especially the 4th position.
And you just teased us by playing the 4th position at the very end of the video!

[@CreamCityMusic]

It's true! lol. :) Thanks for watching!

[@rain4u]

You should be respected for what you play.
I really love your emotional play!!!!

[@CreamCityMusic]

Thank you so much!

[@LJN71]

Wonderful playing as always! There are a number of pickups that claim to bridge the gap between singlecoils and humbuckers to my subjective taste this do it best.

[@CreamCityMusic]

We agree with you 100%!

I have this guitar. This is a good demo of it! Everything sounds very nice. The Spark O Matic is often compared to a Firebird due to similarities in construction with the ash wings and smaller pickups (no, they're not firebird pickups). I have a few Firebirds and IMO, the Spark O Matic sounds more kind of like a strat with mini humbuckers in it and a jazzmaster/jaguar trem. It doesn't really sound like a Firebird. Awesome guitar in its own right if you want a kind of sound that's like a 'more compressed' strat.

Sounds frign awesome!

[@airheadheartburn]

That guitar looks awesome! And sounds great too. Nice vid

[@CreamCityMusic]

Thanks so much, Aaron!

[@matteopiccini8369]

So much mojo… Fender really nailed it.

[@guitarz]

killer middle posish tones!

[@bobby_grout]

This makes me want a guitar with firebird pickups real real bad

[@nosferatu7325]

So a Firebird without neck dive? That feels like a win.

[@bmcgoo6027]

Gibson pickups on a Fender guitar - that's the way!

[@midkingsteve]

What is that first song?!

[@milest1732]

So beautiful, like a fender firebird. Wha'ts in Aram's ear? is it ear plug... tinnitus from so many epic guitar demos?
