JMJM. It's a really good guitar.

I plan to get the vintage white Jaguar at some point.

you see my dilemma?

Well... try the Mustang and see if it catches your fancy? Or just buy a Jaguar and mod it teh fuck so it offers something SLIGHTLY different from your '66 and so it looks DRASTICALLY different.

I feel like this dilemma is sort of common with owning two guitars in general.

I would really love to have all 3 Squiers, especially the Jazzmaster. Unfortunately, I don't really need any of them. I have two Mustangs, AVRI Jaguar and I am building an Ash Jazzmaster in the vein of JMJM. If I really love my Jazzmaster, maybe I could see picking up a JMJM or Squier Jazzmaster. I love the vintage cream on the Mustang. I wish they had the Jazzmaster in Sea foam Green or Surf green like the Jag. Sonic Blue Jazzmaster with Gold anodized pickguard would look hot.

oh I got a tort guard for my jazzmaster (for teh Malkmuszez) so the gold one is hanging about if anyone fancies one for a project.

Not really arsed about mustangs these days, I've kind of gone off them a bit.

While I've been waiting for Fender/Squier to make affordable models of all three for like 10 years, I've since spent my money on countless better instruments. Now I am no longer interested.

That could be me as well honestly. If I didn't already have close to thirty different guitars and such and was just starting off, I could see myself wanting to buy them all. I already have Mustangs, Jazzmasters, and Jaguars though so my enthusiasm isn't quite as strong if I didn't have so many guitars.

Sold my Classic Player Jag to buy a VM Jag and a VM Jazz - couldn't be happier with them both! Will be posting pics once I've got them how I want them (still waiting on a pickguard).

I've done a whole load of buying and selling these last few months; I now reckon I'm finally where I want to be with my collection after narrowing it down to just four: my new VM Jag & Jazz, my 65RI Mustang and my Super-Sonic. That's seriously all I need - no more GAS for me.

Although the new VM Telecaster Custom in sunburst looks nice...

Hahaha sounds like the GAS isn't done, just taking a quick break.

You've got to post a pic of all of those in one place.

Totally. My last one is really outdated now...

What is the teal guitar on the right? Is that a Mustang with Jag trem and Jazzmaster pickups?

The day they bring them out in left handed I'll be getting a JM for sure. If that ever happens...

I bought a jm jazzmaster last year when it came out. I think it's a great deal. Only the switch has a loose contact, so sometimes it sucks. But i will replace it soon...

They must use cheap switches in the JMJM because the one I played one pickup wouldn't work and I bet it was the switch they used.

That teal one is a full scale contoured Mustang body with a Jazzy trem, Jazzy pickups, and a toggle. Andrewdoeshair made it.

with my wife, we went to the guitar shop this afternoon.
i was surprised that is green, not blue!

i like green!

She bought it for a birthday present but i need to wait the 17th of novembre to have it!

it's like i'm a child waiting for christmas and my parents hide the presents.

i check a CP jazz to compare. The CP was more warm and less metallic. I think i'll change the bridge and maybe the pickups.
like everyone say, the VMJM plays great!!!
i prefer the VM jazz than the VM jag; thinner neck and a lighter guitar.

I've never gotten to play a JMJM and think that from what everyone says it's probably superior to my VMJM. But I like the neck on the VMJM and am afraid I wouldn't get on as well with the Mascis.

Which have you bought?
