Great interview. I bought the Squire 40th anniversary Jazzmaster on the back of Mike's great review. He was right. Best value for money guitar ever. It's actually just a great guitar no matter the price! Really happy with it, really glad Mike turned me onto Jazzmasters, it's a sound that was missing from my arsenal from my Gibsons and other Fenders.
I got one on the way. Found it half price new in a shop. Cant wait to try it. Its going to be my cheapest guitar, but im gonna mod it with lollar pickups, new trem and new harness. If it plays well I dont care for the price.
Mike has a lot of knowledge and tips & tricks for offset guitars I didn't knew about. I've really had benefits frim his setup tips. The orher thing I like about him is that he's not biased for USA guitars. He's telling you that an overseas Squier can play wonderful after a decent setup and he shows you in detail how to accomplish that with low cost solutions. For me as a luthier he's an inspiration for working on Jaguar/Jazzmasters. Very cool guitars indeed
I just got my first Jazzmaster (a Vintera 60s, which Mike hasn't reviewed on his channel yet!) and I am an instant convert. It is so fun to play and a swiss army knife of tones.
My main guitar is a modified Jazzmaster. I replaced the bridge pickup with a Novak PAF Humbucker housed in a JM pickup cover. I dropped the volume pot down to 500k and put in a Bourns left handed pot - which makes doing volume swells easier because it’s backwards. I also switched all the caps out with nice PIO caps. In the rhythm circuit, I changed out the cap and pot values so the tone shift isn’t so dark and drastic. That way I can use it more for a “preset” volume or tone option. I have a MASSIVE guitar collection including several vintage Fenders, but my $900 MIM Jazzmaster is easily my favorite - and most versatile. I can use it on any gig whether I’m playing reggae or hard rock.
I can attest to Jamie at Creamery Pickups! I recently asked for Jazzmaster-shaped versions of his Modern Wide Range Humbuckers for my Squier J. Mascis Jazzmaster and they are FANTASTIC! If you're interested in his pickups, just be patient with the fairly slow communication response as he is a one-man show at his busy shop. But as Puisheen said he's a super nice guy and he will get you what you're looking for!
Series - When you wire (hook-up) speakers in Series, the speakers resistance (as measured in ohms) is additive - i.e. putting two 8 ohm speakers in Series results in a 16-ohm load. Parallel - When wiring in parallel, the resistance of the speakers decreases. when you add that third speaker and then you add a third speaker it changes the math again. yo can overload an amp easily simply by wiring speakers in a different manner. We as guitarist will do it just to achieve a sound we are looking for but sometimes that is a bad idea with out help from tech friends.
This was a most informative conversation I just purchased an AMPRO Jazzmaster and found all of Mike's videos concerning the "Care and feeding" of an offset axe VERY helpful. I found the advice concerning the spring update for the Panorama trem especially helpful! Once again a great video filled to the top with info! Thanks for your time
That's always why I thought Mike's favorite Jazzmaster was called Pancake, because of the flattened Jazzmaster pickups! Interesting that's the first he's heard or thought of that. :)
Great topic and discussion, Keith. I learned about Mike back in January while researching Jazzmasters and was considering getting one for my daughter. After learning quite a bit from his channel, I followed his recommendation and picked up the Squire 40th Anniversary model for her. I was pretty impressed with it when it came and started looking for one for myself and ended up getting a Custom JM from a boutique builder in Florida that had everything that Mike recommends and featured Buddha JM p/u's, along with other tasteful appointments. Both my daughter and I are very happy with our Jazzmasters and I consider Mike to be the godfather of her Grunge and Doom playing along with my Surf and New Wave playing.
I have a cunife in the neck position in a tele and it sounds soo good. I was worried it'd be too bright with the 1meg but it isnt. Really nice pickups the cunifes.
So, to your point about Marshalls, I was just looking at specs for 4x12 cabs, and noted that the Marshall was about 3" shorter than the Mesa. A smaller cab coupled with certain speakers would already tend to remove lows.
Everyone knows that feeling when some dude is like: "yeah I have this super old guitar laying around but something is wrong with it. Wanna see it? I don't really care for it" -> pulls out this patina checked 60s beauty "It doesn't even have all strings on it" - pokerface "You can have it if you want" 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This video inspired to put the Curtis Novak historic 58 and 61 in my Jazzmaster. My 65 Pure Vintage pickups from fender were nice, but too thin, bright and quiet. These Novak's sound amazing! Thank you Mike and Keith!!!
I put Fender V-Mod pickups in my Baritone Jazzmaster, but I am heavily-considering Fender Wide-Range humbuckers. Basically, the idea was turn to turn a Squier INTO a Fender, and it absolutely worked. However, I need humbuckers.
When a Jazzmaster is setup, intonated and you know how to maintain it, it's the best guitar. It's the one I would keep if I could only have one. But when I first got mine and was getting impaled on constantly breaking strings, nothing staying in tune and the strings slipping off the saddles, I thought it was the worst.
That was great. I love Mike's channel and have followed some of his recommendations, and couldn't be happier with the results. The man can play, too! But his technical knowledge is outstanding and inspiring. Mike, if you read this, I have an ultra jazzmaster with antiquitys and a mastery bridge because of you, lol! I built a baritone out of squier parts and am insanely jealous of Vader!!! And finally, because of your videos, I understand how to setup all of my JMs and Jags :D Thanks MikeAdamsOffical aka Puisheen
I have a Mastery bridge and Novaks in my MIJ Jazzmaster - JM-V in the neck and a JM-90 in the bridge - installed by Fountain City (technically Seuf, but way to rep KC, Mike!). Best-sounding guitar I've ever owned.
Agree on the Park 75 being the best Marshall-esque amp in the Helix. Soldano SLO crunch channel model is also incredible for those types of sounds, it's become my favorite amp model by far.
I didn't know that Keith was such a Collings fan. I also have three guitars from them; I currently have three of their Waterloo line acoustics, which I was recently informed are still being made, but only one single guitar per month! Apparently they lost a lot of luthiers over Covid, and haven't been able to keep up with demand for their main Collings brand, so Waterloo is kind of on the back burner... It's a shame, because they are outstanding acoustic guitars... One of these days I'll have to consider getting an electric from them..
Damn i have to come up with a name for my new JM now. I skirted around the real thing with a heavily modified jagmaster. [which i still love] for years, but great to finally have the real deal as of last week (well… Squire VM). And so much of what i've learned about setting up has come from mike… so thanks!
Very nice. Not a fan of live streams, so... JazzMaster fan since '61 when i was 4 with The Colorful Ventures. Garage bands had either one of these or a Strat when i was growing up. Heck, my first electric guitar was an Audition 'jazz alike' with gold foils. Sold it back to my friend when i got another guitar,,,,same $12.00. I was 16 in '73 Now, Sq, JagMaster to fill the offset void. Gift from my Wife. I dig it, became my RF TTYD and BlueLine axe. Also bought an Epi FB about a year ago. Flip it on it's face next to the JM and Leo was right....too close for comfort ;) Non reverse FBs...
I read the title as “Jazz Masters” and was expecting a discussion on Wes Montgomery, Grant Green, Charlie Byrd, Barney Kessel, …LOL. I stayed. And loved the Fender Jazzmaster discussion! Keep up the good work!
I’ve been digging into the Collings 360 for a few weeks. Such a cool guitar! I’d love to see you do a video on that one. Thanks to you and Mike for sharing this!
5:54 - UNDERGROUND RADIO LIVES! I only did radio for a living from ‘77 to ‘87, then for ten more years in another town AFTER directing Network TV News!
Totally agree about Jamie at The Creamery. They've put pickups in most of the guitars in my studio. They just sound rich and fat. And yes he can build you anything.
i make darker sounding amps. i making a single ended type thing right now and its sounding awesome. i converted a silver vibro champ to a princeton style preamp into the single ended power section
Years ago (late '80's early 90's) long before they were cool, I had a '59 burst with an anodized guard AND a '64 salmon pink Jazzmaster with a perfect WHITE case!!! They are long gone but every now and then I think I never really appreciated them. Man do I wish I gad them back.
For me, the biggest difference between JM and Jag is, like a Gibson SG the JM neck feels pushed out to your left, which can be awkward if you’re not used to it. The Jag neck feels like it sits in more the expected place compared to Strat, Tele, Les Paul, etc.
Interesting discussion about bright/dark sounding guitars and amps. My 2002 strat is pretty dark sounding, so tweed style amps always sound like they have a blanket over the top, and I was just thinking that my strat needs a bright switch! I always used pedals to brighten up a dark sounding amp, not needing the tone knobs much, but then my LP sounds a lot brighter and capable of sounding much darker too Another thought, if Leo had come around 10 or 20 years later, I wonder if he’d have invested time into effects pedals. Seems like he was focused on quick tone changes on the guitar controls, so wonder what he’d think of today’s effects pedals, within the context of changing settings quickly. Would Leo have redesigned everything, amps and guitars, to accommodate pedals?
Thanks for today's FWW. It was very interesting to learn about more electric guitar details. I will get to your "inspiration" soon. Work has been crazy busy learning new things. I do have a question: can you recommend a good book to learn more for someone looking to start out in the electric world? I picked out a les paul studio and a fender superchamp for my son about 10 years ago. Loved the sound but really did not know much. Thanks :)
Required reading for anyone considering a Jazz or Jag is Mike's Premier Guitar How To set up article from April 2017. I put a link up but the bastards at RUclips took it down. It's essential.
The nylon bushings on the Marr bridge (and also on the Staytrem) are on the bottom of the height posts and do not impede the rocking bridge from rocking as it should. They simply hold the height grub screws a little more firmly, stopping them from vibrating the bridge height downwards.
@@BeesWaxMinder But why would you want to ? Leo Fender's intended physics are now much better understood than when techs threw up their hands and put tuneomatics and buzzstops on them. It's all in Leo's patent. You just need sufficient string-saddle friction (so the strings never lose their grip on the saddles). That friction comes particularly from a sufficient combination of string gauge (tension) and string break angle (so if one is high enough, the other doesn't have to be so high). The break angle comes from neck angle, which is why tapered neck shims are often used (vintage JMs usually left the factory with one). And never lubricate the string-saddle contacts.
Mike. How do the Johnny Marr Bare Knuckles compare to other Jag pickups? They’re the only ones I have any experience with. Best thing I can say is that I see no need to change them and I change a lot of pickups
Oh, as you know my ECJM is named "Nelvis." My '64 Jaguar? "Marribot," or, "Marie" for short. And my JM Jag is "Green Arrow." He's one of the Sherwood green ones. Got any name suggestions for my MIJ Paisley JM?
There for a second' I thought that was Anthony Oliver in the thumbnail and I thought to myself ' noway' 5 watt has more class than to do that. So I apologize for doubting you you there for a second. Please forgive me.
Excellent video! I just recently bought a Squier 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster and it’s my first soirée into that field and I love it. Please, please, please share what pickups were in the guitar that was played with the fuzz on the outro. Those are the type of jazzmaster pickups I’m really looking for, those that can handle the heavy tones (especially fuzz) as well as the light. Thanks!
I honestly wouldn't worry too much about it. I have stock pickups in my Jazzmaster that's from the early 90s. So my picksups are 30 years old, and i use a ridiculous amount of fuzz and gain on them all the time lol, and they work totally fine and sound great. Just play around with your amps EQ settings
Hey Keith, I currently have a Squire Jazz that I want to install a Mastery bridge and new tuners and or pickups, do I need anything special? I like the 60s Surf twang and Secret agent type stuff.
I like the idea of a Jazzmaster but never seem to find people playing what I want to hear on them, so that makes me wonder if they aren't good for playing things I want to hear or if, like many guitar models, they are being pigeon holed into specific genres because that's what people think of when they think of them.

The intro riffs to this video sound like the build upto an amazingly memorable 90s emo album that I'll never get to hear.
Mike has tons of charisma!!!! Thanks Kieth for making this happen

Great show! Love Vader-the baritone. I also love that song he played. I had to listen to it over and over-really enjoyed it.
Mike’s content helped me find LUUUUUVVV with my Mustang setup. Can’t wait to hear what you two get into!

50:44 - does the Johnny Marr bridge still "rock" OR does the nylon inserts stop it from doing that?
The nylon bushings on the Marr bridge (and also on the Staytrem) are on the bottom of the height posts and do not impede the rocking bridge from rocking as it should. They simply hold the height grub screws a little more firmly, stopping them from vibrating the bridge height downwards.
@@vw9659 thank you for that
I think stopping these bridges from rocking is no bad thing, myself...
@@BeesWaxMinder But why would you want to ? Leo Fender's intended physics are now much better understood than when techs threw up their hands and put tuneomatics and buzzstops on them. It's all in Leo's patent. You just need sufficient string-saddle friction (so the strings never lose their grip on the saddles).
