    You just heard the Fender Japan '66 Jazzmaster. The JM66B provides high quality craftsmanship and classic offset Fender tones that have spanned many decades and genres. The look is accomplished by a 3 tone sunburst finish that highlights the grain of an alder body. This Jazzmaster's neck is maple,surrounded by ivory binding and even displays its block inlays on the rosewood board. Fender Japan also takes the vintage route with the neck, employing 21 vintage frets and a 7.25" radius board while the back is shaped to an oval profile. The Jazzmaster sound comes from its famous two circuit layout, where the neck pickup receives an independent volume and tone that can be used as a preset. The vintage voiced, alnico Jazzmaster pickups from Fender Japan and the classic vibrato bridge setup also add to the attack and unique voicing of this classic offset guitar.

      LOL, My Son purchased this very same guitar because he is a big Sonic Youth fan.
      BTW, great guitar after we switched to a Mastery Bridge, SD Antiquity II pickups and a new set of Vintage style tuners. A great guitar with it's own vibe and tone, it also sounds great through a cranked Marshall.

      @@tw8454 So very, very true T W. LOL, at the time I made that comment I'd only owned my Marshall a month or so. I've an old 1987x I had modded and converted to vintage Plexi era specifications (new OT Tx and a PPI MV).
      What I found out was that all these years I'd been chasing down the wrong Rabbit Hole in search of Tone. I think I've tried every pickup brand under the Sun. With the Marshall just about every guitar/pickup sounds great (IMHO). So all of my Fender and Gibson guitars have been switched back to the stock pickups, and I couldn't be happier.

It is so mint! The pick guard still had the protective film on it. New strings and boom! Beautiful music. I love it!

My jag is from 93 so it had some beauty wear on it, but the neck is one of the nicest ive played on. My Jazzmaster is from 03. Candy apple red, my lady lol. If in the future u do a mod, get a mustang bridge, unless ur not and aggressive player and strings dont pop out on u lol, for me the original bridge was good but im aggressive lol.

    I love my MIJ Jazzmaster, it's surf green with a matching headstock. But, when you get one, keep in mind that you'll need to change the pots and input jack, as the Japanese ones really don't do the guitar justice. New pickups and an American tremolo aren't a must, but after I added those as well, this has become my favourite axe. Cheers

    I seriously want this exact guitar but can't seem to find it anywhere?!?! The sunburst, best looking Jazzmaster headstock I've seen, love the block inlays, the tremolo system what I'd want (I've seen Fender making some of these cheaper, non-American made Jazzmasters with just a hard tail bridge - no trem system, what's that?!). Maybe could use a pickup upgrade here but really not necessary. And made in Japan speaks better to me than the mim versions for some reason.

  • @AVeil-ml4eh
    @AVeil-ml4eh 10 лет назад

    Well, the Japanese Fenders are pretty, and this Jazzmaster sounds nice, but why did they make the neck radius on ALL the Japanese models (not just the Thinline Tele's) 7.25"? The normal 9.5" neck radius is tight enough, and hard to get decent bends w/out jumbo frets. Instead, they should've increased the radius to a comfortable 12" or left it at 9.5" and added jumbo frets. I love Fender guitars for their bright wound strings and the 25.5" scale length most have, but they need to widen the neck radius. I bought a US Strat Deluxe to get the compound-radius fretboard, (9.5-14") but I would prefer a set radius of 12". I guess the small radius is good for rhythm work, but Andy had to practically bend the string off the neck to get a full bend.

    • @ceruleanstone
      @ceruleanstone 10 лет назад

      Because the original Jazzmasters (and Teles, Strats, Mustangs, etc.) from the '60s were all 7.25". This is meant to be a reissue. But I agree: 9.5" or 12" is better.

    • @AVeil-ml4eh
      @AVeil-ml4eh 10 лет назад

      treblinkalovescene Hey, nothing wrong with that. I wish I felt comfortable w/that radius, because I like Thinline Tele's & these new Japanese RI's are very nice. But Everyone's hands and playing styles are different. Also, the frets play a big role in bending comfort, too--I might prefer a 9.5" radius w/jumbo frets over a 12" radius w/smaller frets. I do think necks can be made too flat, and then you have nothing to "push against" to get those bends. Guitars are 1 thing I don't like to buy without 1st playing, because really the specs are just guidelines & if the guitar feels right to me, I don't care about specs--and vice versa.
