Your cart is empty.Squire honors alt-rock godfather and Dinosaur Jr. leader J Mascis with a striking new Jazz master guitar model that delivers as much massive sound and performance as its namesake. The pickups, hardware and finish are all specified by Mascis himself for tremendous tone and value. Only one instrument is good enough to bear his signature on his headstock—the J Mascis Jazz master

The shipping was even faster than the estimated date, it is much prettier than I expected, I loved the gold color and my husband was very happy with his birthday gift.

I can echo the hype. By far the best under $500 guitar I’ve played, and I’ve played a lot of them!

このギターはとにかくネックが良いです。その上にジャンボフレット、チューンオーマチックと演奏性、安定性に優れてますね。音の方は少し野暮ったい感じでノイズも多いのは欠点ですがjマスシス好きがそんなこと気にしますか?😎

I’m not sure if this is normal but my guitar came with a Sweet Water 55-Point Guitar Inspection provided by GearNuts which I truly appreciate. It arrived in extremely well condition and the guitar itself is fantastic. 5 star guitar!

I love this guitar so much! It’s the first guitar I’ve bought that is set up and sounds great right out of the box ! For a squier and for the price it’s a great guitar and deal but even without it being a squier it’s a great guitar plays and sounds amazing the neck in particular feels great to play. Hats off to J mascis too bad they don’t sell his signature fender Jazzmaster anymore

For the price, this guitar sounds & plays amazing. It did require a simple setup though (truss rod, bridge height adjustment) and I also replaced the both the tuning machines (their ends rattled) and bridge with parts also sold on Amazon (~$50 total.)

Es una gran guitarra, con un buen sonido, buena construcciòn, muy recomendable, si quieren escucharla busquen "estrella de los mares" de apartamentos acapulco en vivo, el guitarrista/vocalista la usa

The J. Mascis Jazzmaster is in my humble opinion the best that Squier has to offer. Not only does it come out of the box with upgrades most would apply anyway.Upgrades like the much appreciated tune-o-matic bridge and P90-style wound pickups and even a nice satin finish on the back of the neck for super comfortable playability. They even moved the entire tremolo tailpiece assembly closer to the body/bridge to increase the break angle for more sustain.I’m so happy I bought one before they were discontinued. I’d recommend one to just about anybody. I hope to see more like this in the future.

There is perhaps no guitsr better than this when it comes to maximizing your dollars spent. You can certainly spend less, even $50 less, and get a noticeable drop in quality. You can also spend more and, while this would give you a better guitar, your money will not being going as far as it does here.Straight out of the box it is ready to go on tour. That's a lot to ask of any guitar Whether you're a beginner or a touring musician, this is a guitar worth your time and money. Lots of upgrades are available on the secondary market, but it is solid out of the box. Stop waiting. Buy it now.

The JM Jazzmaster I received, looks amazing, sounds amazing but there are a couple of issues. The G string does not rest in the neck nut so it slips all the time. Also, the tremolo creaks and the spring makes a tone of noise. Being that I just spent the money on buying this, looks like I will have to spend more to have this brand new guitar fixed. What a bummer!!!The pickups sound amazing, though they are not Jazzmaster, pickups. They run real hot and you get a loud, powerful sound from them. The neck is great, other than the nut. Love this guitar but will love it that much more once it is fixed and playable.

The weight, the neck, bridge, tuners, pickups, the sound...all Oustanding! This is a solid, versatile, affordable guitar. I have nerve damage in my left hand as it has been for over 40 years, So, my style of tuning and playing, while interestingly unique, makes me sound better than my skills/handicap might suggest. It is versatile when playing pop, rock, a little shredding and Country. It's not because there were any flaws, that I also put copper tape in the cavities under the scratch plate to quiet external interference. Worth every penny for its inherent versatility in crafting the right sounds.

I would have never considered a gold pick guard or squire pro model but being a Dino fan since freak scene, I had to give it a try. This is by far my new daily ripper. J's pickups offer huge tone variation, from a scooped strat to a twangy tele. Replaced the clashing pick guards with black (to match the first ever prototype jazz) as well as the knobs (black) and it now looks as amazing as it plays (see picture). Neck is perfect, replaced the trim for a fender which feels better to me and has the fender word mark lol. May paint the headstock flat black to match. Unbelievable value for the money and happy to support j in any way I can. Great job Fender/Squire. Can't wait for the Sonic Youth versions, I'll buy them both!
