r/Jazzmaster

Hi, I've saved up for my first jazz master (i have a rubbish £400 ibanez just now) I've been looking alot into the vintera iii and since it's just released they're not available used and cost £1050 new. I am now realising I could opt for a £1400 American Proffesional II jazz master on ebay (this is the rough price) any reccomendations. Looking for something I won't have to upgrade:)

hey so im a complete newbie and ive never played guitar before aaand i dont know anything about guitars, im looking for a guitar to get and i really liked how jazzmaster sounds like but its hella expensive and im broke

but if im gonna get a guitar for the first time, im gonna let it stay with me and not upgrade later because its definitely not easy for me to spend that much money (im a highschooler and even my family’s financial situation isnt good)

sooo im really wondering if i should spend 880$ on my first guitar if i cant buy another one? and should i get the fender 880$ or squier 500$?

is there any cheaper jazzmasters? or should i just give up on the jazzmaster and get another affordable guitar? (if yes, drop ur recommendations)

I have a Squier Jazzmaster CV with stock pickups which are actually pretty solid, but thinking about upgrading to Curtis Novak JMWH

These are about 330 + tax (pair) which is definitely not cheap!

I could also get a few pedals with 330 bucks. But before plugging the trigger wanted to ask the community

Have anyone made this upgrade? Thoughts? Opinions?

So I just got a new American Professional Classic Jazzmaster. I am finding that the volume control works best between 8 and 10. Below 8 the volume drops off significantly and is useless. I need the volume control to work more gradually so I can go between rhythm and lead more easily. What is the fix for this??

im completely new here and i know nothing about guitars, im looking for a first guitar and i decided i would get the squire classic vibe jazzmaster

a lot of people have told me that an amp matters the most and is the most important, why and how? what does it do and what is it used for?

and what other guitar equipments that i need other than an amp?

note: i will be playing my guitar in my bedroom and i dont want loud noises to not disturb my parents, i think i can use headphones in amp? idk

i like midwest emo and shoegaze

Hi so I bought a Squier CV 60s jazzmaster secondhand but it came with some issues i only noticed after some time and it's really frustrating and because of that i don't even play. First is some electronics problem that the bridge position sometimes doesn't work i had the switch and cable changed in my local music store but that didn't help and i also had the trust rod adjusted like 2 times but it is again bad and I get really bad fret buzz on 12th fret and around on low e it's most hearable i have one last option to get it to someone i heard is really good that should help me but it's in other town so it isn't that easy yo get it there so i just wanted to know if i should be positive that the guitar will be good or just be mad at myself for making that purchase

Hello I just got a used J Mascis Jazzmaster from guitar centers online marketplace and when I use the rhythm circuit the pickups work fine and everything is normal but, when I switch to the lead circuit the volume drops significantly to the point you can barely hear it and the main volume knob (not the wheel) doesn't work at all or maybe just doesn't turn down the volume at all. What's wrong with the lead circuit and what do I need to get it fixed to be like the rhythm circuit?
