Jesse Lacey of Brand New put the idea of getting Jazzmaster in my head. Not the most technical player, but sure can choose a nice guitar to strum chords with.

Never got on with my Jazzmaster, and I bought it because it was in a second hand shop and I had my student loan in my pocket, not because of some pretty boy.

i think this thread is rather devoid of pretty boys, there's some ugly mugs in here.

plus you can't make a pretty boy argument in one thread and then post russell lissack in another.

Russell Lissack can play the guitar.


Gavin Rossdale can't. Plus I'm fed up of these fucking threads.

I wanted one because they're awesome-looking and surf-tastic.

For me with was Andrew Prickett.

Fantastic tones on his Jazzmaster from his work with The Violet Burning, Cush, The Prayer Chain, and I've also been a fan of his production on some of my favorite albums ever (The Autumns, The Lassie Foundation, Push Start Wagon, etc.). His gold sparkle Jazzo w/matching headstock ain't half bad either.

I can't really think of anyone who made me want to buy a jazzmaster and i am not a huge fan of anyone who plays one. I just love the way looks and feels and the diversity i can get from it. The classic player i have is a great complement to my telecaster since it gives bigger, darker and fuller tones. Mostly though i knew i wanted to at least try one the moment i saw it, to see if it sounded as good as it looked and it did. Hands down coolest looking guitar ever.
