I’ve a Squire J Mascuis Jazzmaster and its bloody lovely, in fact its better quality that my old USA strat! Yes it has the tun-o-matic bridge but to be honest after the LIVING HELL that was the Jag bridge I’d settle for a slightly altered trem function.
On the other hand I also have a USA blacktop Jazzmaster, on which I swapped out the fender ‘bucker and replaced with a SD Distortion along with swapping the Jag bridge for a mustang bridge.
The old Jag bridge is a TERRIBLE TERRIBLE thing and those who endorse it should be forced to scrabble around on the floor during a gig hunting for a stupid grub screw that despite being loctite’d in still managed to work its way loose. BAN THAT SICK FILTH NOW.
I’m now off to hide my bank card.
