I actually dig the strat jack on the jazzmaster

I've always loved the sound/look of the jazzmasters but couldn't a long with the knob position, so by adding the strat input it will move the knobs back to a more Jaguar style placement which is much better for me. And a MAPLE NECK WITH A JAZZMASTER!

Maybe I'm missing it, but was there a price listed? They'll probably go for around $350 which at that point, you may as well buy the black-top.

Jazzmaster = WOULD

If these had been around 3 and a half years ago I know what would be sitting on my guitar rack right now rather than a Jagmaster.

on my laptop the jaguar looked as though it had single coils because the black part of the zebra pups seemed to merge in with the tort. I thought it'd be pretty cool to have as a back-up with some lipsticks. Do not want with humbuckers, pretty much just a hardtail jagmaster

EDIT: FUCK! am i losing it or are they single coils on hotrod's post? definitley zebra pups on the offset thread

Think they deserved their own thread frankly. You can sneak back out of bed with impunity.

i've clearly altered the picture into what they should've been.

I have to say, the jack cups aren't to attractive. They are in no way a deal breaker though. I really like both. Will that really be the only finish options? If the jazzmaster came with a rosewood neck I would be all over it

Im curious to see the other finish options as well. I hope not all of the jag's have zebra humbuckers.

FUCKING FINALLY. I WILL HAVE THAT JAZZMASTER. I WILL.

fell out of my chair after seeing the title. saw the pictures. cried.

I'd be fine with them if it wasn't for the strat thang.

I think the normal jagmaster is still much better than these

My thoughts exactly I would way rather just pick up a used jagmaster.

I bet that Jaguar will out sell the Jagmaster by a long shot - even though it is essentially the same guitar - because it has the "Jaguar" name on it.

I'm glad somebody else likes it, too.

Srsly, the more I look at that Jazzmaster the more I like it. It seems that while the lower end Jap and Mexico Fenders tend to reach the UK with some fairly silly prices when compared to their dollar price, Squiers don't suffer from that problem as much. Hopefully the Squier Jazzy will clock in at around Â£250, in which case it'll go straight onto my "do want" list, particularly in that snazzy yellow colour.

Good luck with that.

My money is on the only options being exactly what you see there. Maybe one of them will come in sunburst.

Think the price of these can be good for modders...

are the knobs stacked? I would love that Jazzmaster even more if it had a volume AND a tone for each pickup.

Maybe I'm just imaging it because I want it to be true.

i highly doubt they're push/pull pots, that's what the three way switch is for. in a less varietal sense.
