What's up with dat bridge? Seems like the weak link. Otherwise, it looks nice.

I like the look of the bridge, I love fender guitars in general but I hate trem bridges so so much. I think this could be a great mod platform IF...the quality is ther like on the classic vibe series.

I hate the thought of a JM w/o a tremolo but for $299 is a low buck to get your into JM tones for sure...

However for a little more $$$ you could get a used Classic Player which is a SMOKIN piece for the cash.

Squier crud IMO! Epiphone make far better guitars.

That is way over-simplified. Both those brands have good and bad guitars, and you can't even compare them because they have very different price points.

or not.

A trem would have been nice.

[Fenderkid67]

I hate how these builders of all kinds are making jazzmasters without the trem. thats what makes them what they are. for gazers. lol.

[guitarplayaman]

I do like the butterscotch color scheme tho...pretty cool looking.

it looks like the bridge is just screwed in, so in theory you could drill two holes for a JM bridge, route the body for a vibrato and you'd be pretty close to a real JM. however that's silly that they put a strat input jack there... that ruins any possibilities of getting it all the way to a real JM.

Isn't that the idea behind the series i.e "Vintage Modified"? take a well know vintage Fender design and mod it! Im not saying its a good mod or not but I like it and can see myself trying one of these out.

Very cool looking guitar, if I can find one that's nice and light, I might very well get one.

[germs]

bridge is the deal killer for me. get a decent trem - or at least a cheapo i can pull off and replace - and we're talking serious GAS.

but for $50 more, we're in CV territory.
