    That's awesome Jason and it definitely screams "you"! I'm too much a fan of the rhythm circuit - wish they had that as an option for Jazz/Jags (agree with you I'd happily pay for that option).
    As always amazing tone, great playing, and awesome to hang out for a few mins with you virtually!
    And I'm pretty sure Foo Fighters is now Dad Rock (at least according to my kids ;)) and what we've been calling Dad Rock is now Gramps Rock!

      Thank you!!! And yea, I agree I think adding the Rhythm circuit would be a cool option that I think a lot of folks would go for.
      hahaha, yea...Foo Fighters is dad rock...So, I guess I should change my dad rock preferences...or I could say BluesDadRock! lol.

    I bought a Player 2 Jazzmaster in blue after your recommendation. I love it so much man. Thanks for the tip. How do you think it compares to you new one?

      @@GeoffByrdMusic awe!!! Thank you! 🙏🏾 and it’s entirely different. I love the Player 2 and think it’s a solid choice. I think the Mod Shop is a great upgrade from the Player 2…however, I do think the Player 2 has the better pickups.

    I love when we as guitarists get to the point of knowing exactly what we want & figuring out how to get it if no one makes it. This is the case with my MJT VTL "Pineline" Thinline Tele. Knew exactly what I wanted and I made it happen. Pine thinline, maple neck ebony board, relic'd, a cabronita-esque version of the thinline pickguard in a red tort, reverse bridge, lapsteel style tele bridge pup, TV Jones HiLo tron neck. Now if only I could get a custom Revstar as well I'd be pretty much set.

      @GitShiddy День назад +2

      @JasonTMays I mean it was years of thought and research to figure out my Tele, specs & how to pay for it. So just go for it might be a bit of an overstatement. But once the wheels started rolling it was happening.

    Grats on the new guitar. Looks amazing. I do love a rosewood neck. Sounds fantastic too.
    I've messed around with the mod shop, and like you, was a little disappointed in the lack of certain features for certain guitars. I'd love to be able to spec out a baritone Jazzmaster with a rosewood neck. That'd be... *chef's kiss*

    Been contemplating making a hardtail Strat from the Mod shop. You're right that there isn't a lot of options with the offsets. Having a rhythm circuit and different options for pickups are a big deal.

    • @JasonTMays
      @JasonTMays  День назад +2

      Dude, do it!!! I think the Mod Shop is a cool way to get a unique "forever" guitar. But, yea. I wish they would've added the rhythm circuit...at least for the Jazzmaster. Although I'd imagine that would push it towards the $3k mark.

    This is why I’ve been on a partscaster kick the last couple of years. I know what I want/like but it’s always across a couple different models. I might pay a little more in the parts but, I get what I want and that’s what matters

    • @JasonTMays
      @JasonTMays  18 часов назад +2

      I think that’s the most important aspect is getting exactly what you want. And for me, I understand that. I think it would be cool if the mod shop cross pollinated between different parts.

    I would LOVE an option to add Humbuckers instead of standard Jazzmaster pickups. Sick guitar & video! 🔥
    As for my dream guitar… I’m not sure. I’ve spent so long playing other artists signatures that I wasn’t sure of what I LIKED. But I just got a Les Paul Modern Lite that I LOVE, it’s the perfect Les Paul for me & I want a red player ii Jazzmaster. Both of those are a result of your videos 😅 I’ve known I always wanted an LP and have been into Jazzmasters forever. Maybe a LP Junior cuz inspired by Green Day. But I need more experience playing out with people to see what my dream guitar is depending on my needs. But who knows maybe I already got em!

    • @JasonTMays
      @JasonTMays  20 часов назад +1

      Dude! A humbucker route would be an awesome option.
      And thank you! Both of those are indeed awesome guitars. I’m glad I was influential in helping you land on those. I will say if I was influential in doing so…don’t watch my video on the studio session cause you’ll be buying another guitar. lol.
