Guitar center is selling both of these guitars used for a pretty ok price, and I’ve been itching for a Jazzmaster. I know the 50’s vintera model has had much better reviews, but I’d be lying if I said the older one with the matching headstock wasn’t appealing to me. I wanted to ask from people who’ve had experiences with both, how different are these from one another?
A lot of things are the same as they were two months ago, but I replaced my d&m drive with a JHS @+, my Aria was kicked off to make space for a klone I bought off aliexpress for 30 bucks (I wanted to experiment with a cheap klone first before I invest in a pricier version), and my 3-series reverb was also removed to make space for the compressor plus. Really loving this setup, all the drive sounds I need along with some chorus and a Leslie. I can go from Mayer-esque tones to more aggressive classic rock/grunge tones and whatever’s in between. I can’t play as well as my favorite guitarists but at least I can somewhat replicate their tones, right?😆
