vanson jazzmaster copies

[lorez]

has anyone had any experience with these? I spotted a couple on ebay lank

that pickguard is uglay, shape is so wobbly.

no experience with it, but I expect it plays like all the copies that look like it. Played one, was okay, needed some work.

I have'nt played one but they look like the Wesley San Diego's a little which i have had. 'Jazzmaster' is very misleading, the body is way smaller, its not dual circuit, it has a Strat trem, a slider switch and uses Soapbar pickups.
Despite this, the quality is usually surprisingly good on these budget brands. I paid around £80 new for the Wesley and it is solid Alder, properly routed, reasonable electronics, etc. The only downside was the machine heads.

I'd try to score a cheap one if you want to go for it.

haha, i like how they include a fender pick, probably just for the search results

[lorez]

Cheers folks for the feedback, i just never seen them before and wondered what they were like.

As for the fender pick, its the usual trick to get in to the search results and categories for fender

I actually think it's pretty. With a Jazz bridge and Trem it would be hot.

The cheap-out on these level guitars are the following:

- Tuners - generally weak and do not hold tune, need replacing
- Neck finish - generally left plain or satin, no gloss to be seen
- Neck woods - rosewood generally poor quality and very dry


Still for beginners or backup guitars they're interesting looking.
