Hey folks! I just wanted to share a little bit about the new guitar you may have seen in the last couple videos on the channel -- a used American Vintage II 1966 Fender Jazzmaster, which is the first guitar I've purchased for myself in over 7 years! I'm so in love with it. What do you guys think?

[eidolon]

Man, that 7 years ago comment was uncalled for.

[tonyfdesign]

There's a special place in heaven for matching headstocks.

[shelleymonder]

your videos are so helpful to so many. The universe is giving back with this find. sounds beautiful. Enjoy

[stevenbatten]

Even the Guitars happy you brought it ! It was meant to be . Awesome 🥳🚀

[billtuer]

What a Beauty! Sounds really great. I also want one but my wife won't allow another one. All the best and greetings from Malaysia 🇲🇾

I'm guessing the other Jazzmasters you tried weren't properly set up. The fact that this one is second-hand speaks to the fact that the owner very likely set it up or had it set up correctly. In any case, welcome to the Jazzmaster pack! Once I got my first (and set it up following Puisheen's tutorials), I was totally in love. I have three now, and they're all great. I don't even touch my other electric guitars anymore. They have several years of dust on them now. My pride and joy is my Japanese Traditional 60s with a few upgrades I did (new handwound Tone Hatch alnico 2 pickups, AmPro Mustang bridge, tele chrome knobs). I have no need or desire for another guitar, just Jazzmasters now!

I have the exact same Lake Placid Blue American Vintage II Jazzmaster and it's certainly one of the best guitars I've ever played. It was set up perfectly at the factory, did not need to do anything to it. Plays like a dream.

[jeffreyburnwood]

Wonderful! I wonder what new inspiration this guitar will bring to your life! Also, I loved that first listen progression :D
Take care!

[neocollective]

It really sounds incredible even through YouTube and cheap computer speakers, I can only imagine what's like there, great buy !

[jhref]

Well isn't that just gorgeous. Lovely signal path too.

Sounds great, I have some Tom Anderson guitars. Similar to Suhrs. I recently got the squire version like this and just can’t get enough of it. So I ordered the USA version just like the one in your video. They just make you play a certain way. It just feels like home . The Tremelo is just lush and more dreamy than all the others I’ve tried.🤙🏽🤘🏽

oh man a 1966. You are really vibing with the 7.25" fretboard radius? I like the thinner 60s necks but man those ball shapes fretboards. Getting the radius right on that original bridge is a trick. It sounds beautiful though. Jazzmaster vintage pickups are a vibe all their own.

[balasvsubramaniam-fbfw]

Hi ! Andrew from S'PORE 🇸🇬 nice of you to let us know your knowledge of guitar music, which I wish to somehow want to master it ! Still learning ??? Thank's add list I'm learning from You Andrew ! ✨️ 💙it !

[romanukas]

I have 2 Suhr Jazzmasters I bought without touching them. The S90 sounds like much hotter, I love single coily tone of yours, but not thin at all. I love look of Suhr JMs, just more elegant to me.

[walterkemp]

Very nice. Sounds fab. Wonder what all switches on it are for. Whatever it’s lovely.👍🎸

Beautiful guitar! Were you muting with your thumb or were you playing the barre chord with your thumb? If you were playing that way is there a benefit to it? Thanks!

[DavidOakesMusic]

1:03 omg i need to work out that chord 👀

[mabblers]

Nice opening and all the tunes. How do I get to playing like that? Scales aren't getting that movement you're doing up and down the neck.

[DavidOakesMusic]

I haven't bought a (new) guitar since 2011.
