Zach, I don't kidding you. I think your Guitar tone Is the best I've ever heard on UA-cam. For sure, your super clean Guitar playing gives a great contribute to the final result... Congratulations! If I can, I would quest to you about your relationship with neighbors 😅 It's clear that you love tube amplifiers that needs an High output to sound good... How you manage this without disturbing neighbors? Thank you and sorry if I make some mistake (I know, my english Is terribile). Cheers 🤘
Thanks so much Stefano! Appreciate the kind words. I don't have any close neighbors that might get annoyed by super loud amps, which is definitely a luxury. When it comes to the Friedman and this particular JCM800 they actually sound pretty good at low volumes as well, so I'm just enjoying playing regardless! Thanks so much for checking out the video!
Ian Thornley opening riff. Super fun to play. I always like how it sounds so clear and heavy. A genre crossing riff vibe. Then Ghost! Same vibe. Not only great tones, but you're playing riffs that feel good. Keep it up. It's very refreshing.
Man i found your channel a few days ago. Its really a hidden 💎. Not only amazing sound quality and production, awesome riffs, and i even find new music . Keep up👌👌
like you, i picked up a MIJ Jazzmaster this year and i'm incredibly thrilled with it. my first new guitar! yours is beautiful, sounds great, and you really pilot it like a pro. thanks for a great video on Fender Japan's latest success.
Just bought a white one of these after stumbling upon this video a few months ago and gassing for it for a while. I had no idea these existed! Have always wanted Fender to drop something like this, and the Jim Root one wasn't quite what I was looking for. Thanks for the awesome vid!
Wicked playing! I have this exact guitar, and it sounds incredible… Something about the tone which none of my other guitars can rival… I love playing it and it’s the most inspiring instrument I have ever played
Hell yeah! Big Wreck straight out the gate is an instant like for me! You’ve got the best rock tones on all of UA-cam! Also the naked pictures album is awesome, some great riffs and killer sounds and mixing!
The more I watch this. The more I want this guitar. Great opener with Big Wreck. I was just listening to them the other day. One of my favorites. I only discovered this video because this guitar came through my feed on Reverb. I've always played Les Pauls. I always wanted a Jazz Master. But I couldn't decide on what I wanted. But this is getting me closer to that purchase. Great video. And you have the best review I've seen so far. ✌️🤘🔥
Dude you made my day playing Space Prophet Dogon! I’ve always loved that song and you’re take on it is so dope. Also I bought a jcm800 partly because of your videos and I’m loving it! Keep it up
There are two things I realized from watching all your videos: One is that I have unstoppable GAS for this model of Jazzmaster, and second is that I would happily pay for an IR of your cab. Just glorious as always!
Amazing playing and tones as always. That's probably the best looking Jazzmaster I've seen to date with the hardtail and the HH configuration. Probably in the minority, but that's the config I prefer.
Nice one man! Fender Japan has always been the sweet spot in the range. RE the toggle switch location - I hate the switch location on my Les Paul for the exact same reason, but when standing. When I really start digging in I often hit the switch by accident.
Dude! You’re badass!! I stumbled on your channel a week or so ago when I was searching Marshall jc800’s.. No bs talking just straight Rock and fucking Roll!! Love it!!
Great sound as usual - I looked up a couple of the songs because of your riffing but your sound is much heavier haha :) Oh and hooray for Square Hammer :)
Thank you so much for the video! Stunning guitar. I'm looking for one and I might be able to find one. Do you know ifis those are normal-sized Humbucker pickups please? Or Jazzmaster-sized?
Hey Zach, I just purchased this guitar from a Japanese dealer like you mentioned. I’m struggling to find in depth specs on the instrument. Do you know what pickups it has? I’ve seen comments saying it’s gen 4 fender noiseless but have found nothing confirming. Any input is appreciated!
Hey Matt! Congrats on the guitar. Not sure of the exact pickups, but I think they're just your run of the mill Fender humbuckers. They don't seem like they're noiseless to me, but I think they sound pretty good! Don't feel the need to change them out. Thanks so much for checking out the video.
Hey Ryan! I've been thinking about making a video on that pink tele. I did sell the Roadworn, but not because it wasn't a great guitar. Honestly just wanted a pink one haha. I prefer the pickups from the Roadworn, so I think I'm going to put a set of them in this guitar eventually. Both great guitars though!
Thanks so much Juan! I don't think any shops are currently selling them in the states, but you can find plenty of shops in Japan on eBay that will ship to the US for fair rates.
Oh, that beauty had caught my eye in the last video! Great playing as always, man. How would you say it compares to a Pro Mod Charvel (Mexican) in terms of build quality and features? .
I'd probably give the edge to this Fender just slightly, but those Mexican Charvels are super nice as well. Hard to go wrong with either. Love the truss rod adjustment wheel placement on those. Thanks!
I think this guitar is going for it's own thing, not trying to be a traditional Jazzmaster. I've always loved the Jazzmaster shape but wanted something that would work well in my heavier bands, and this guitar works great for that. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
@@ZachWish I know! i got one cause of Knuckle Puck, the guy Nick there has a MIJ one, but I thought that the secret to the Jazzmaster high gain stuff is just a higher output Jazzmaster pickup
This jazzmaster is an anti-Jazzmaster as it sounds nothing like a traditional Jazzmaster and has likely pissed off all the elitist snobs. I like that. ;) (Disclaimer: I own a AO60s JM & JG but I’m not adverse to these high output modern JMs by any means. I think they’re excellent.)
Think it just depends where you look. They're listed on the Fender Japan site for ¥ 168,300 which is right around $1,500 USD depending on the day. Thanks for checking out the video!
It's in the title of the video and the video description. "Fender Made in Japan Modern Jazzmaster." It's a 2 year old video when you could order them from Fender Japan or a good amount of online shops. They pop up on Reverb from time to time if you're interested.
@@ZachWish It was hard as shit to find but I found one. MIJ Fender does as horrible job naming their shit, especially their pickups. I didn't think the Modern part of the title had anything to do with the model name. My bad bruh.
Looking for more clean tones? Check out my recent video of this guitar with the Matchless Spitfire: ua-cam.com/video/kHiNCitd_6I/v-deo.html
Man. Your riff choices are always so great. Big Wreck to start was a great surprise.
Zach, I really feel like you should share your daily playlists ;) Always such a nice taste in riffs.

Was inspired by this video, love fender and gibson. I was able to get one as new 6 months ago. Fantastic axe !
Ian Thornley opening riff. Super fun to play. I always like how it sounds so clear and heavy. A genre crossing riff vibe. Then Ghost! Same vibe. Not only great tones, but you're playing riffs that feel good. Keep it up. It's very refreshing.
Man i found your channel a few days ago. Its really a hidden 💎. Not only amazing sound quality and production, awesome riffs, and i even find new music . Keep up👌👌
Thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words.
Hell yeah dude, sounds amazing. I recorded all of the leads on Silverspoon and most of EIABH.
Teenage Wrist sounds great on that
Big Wreck fuck yeah! I love modern takes on vintage instruments.
I always get excited when I receive a notification for one of your videos.
Saw one for sale on Reverb and just drooled
like you, i picked up a MIJ Jazzmaster this year and i'm incredibly thrilled with it. my first new guitar! yours is beautiful, sounds great, and you really pilot it like a pro. thanks for a great video on Fender Japan's latest success.

Really cool guitar. That Teenage Wrist riff is real nice.
Big Wreck!! Sounds awesome.

Thats awesome. Definitely a cool guitar. Thanks for checking out the video!
Wow!!! King's X in the last video and Big Wreck here! I love this channel!
Wicked playing! I have this exact guitar, and it sounds incredible… Something about the tone which none of my other guitars can rival… I love playing it and it’s the most inspiring instrument I have ever played
Enjoyed that Square Hammer bit
Sick guitar, awesome playing. I'm slightly eyeing one of these up
Thanks for the Big Wreck, wow that song!
Definitely a banger! Thanks for checking out the video!
Hell yeah! Big Wreck straight out the gate is an instant like for me! You’ve got the best rock tones on all of UA-cam! Also the naked pictures album is awesome, some great riffs and killer sounds and mixing!

Thanks very much! Definitely a cool guitar.
Dude you made my day playing Space Prophet Dogon! I’ve always loved that song and you’re take on it is so dope. Also I bought a jcm800 partly because of your videos and I’m loving it! Keep it up
Awesome! Was wondering if anyone would catch that tune. Thanks so much for checking out the videos!
That 800 sounds incredible. The jazzmaster is really nice too
There are two things I realized from watching all your videos: One is that I have unstoppable GAS for this model of Jazzmaster, and second is that I would happily pay for an IR of your cab. Just glorious as always!
This guitar looks awesome!!!
Wow I love that even sounds nice through the speakers in my phone
Thanks so much James!
That tone is beautiful, bro
Thanks so much Matthew!
Amazing playing and tones as always. That's probably the best looking Jazzmaster I've seen to date with the hardtail and the HH configuration. Probably in the minority, but that's the config I prefer.
You and me both. Thanks so much Jesper!
This new JCM800 sounds much nicer than the earlier model you had (horizontal inputs) which was very spiky in the top end.
Man, that guitar is beautiful, wow. Love the color. I love your playing too! Thx for this kind of review. Suscribed :)
Thanks so much for checking out the video Edouard!
My favorite Big Wreck song!
Nice one man! Fender Japan has always been the sweet spot in the range. RE the toggle switch location - I hate the switch location on my Les Paul for the exact same reason, but when standing. When I really start digging in I often hit the switch by accident.
What tuning do you use on the guitar?Nice
I like this because it's like... do you want to have something that sounds similar to a Les Paul (but cleaner) but also offset? Fender's got us.
That comment sums up my feeling. Kinda wanna sell my lp and buy that one instead in the local shop where its waiting for me 🤓
Sounds amazing and looks the part.
Now has me thinking I need one lol
Not to mention a cranked 800 is hard to beat.
Really cool and unique guitar. Great playing and tones happening here man
Thanks so much bud!
Great stuff as usual sir!
I need this guitar in my life...
Great playing, loved the video!
Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words.
This is some thicccccc tone. My guy. Sounds insane.
Thanks so much for checking out the video!
Dude! You’re badass!! I stumbled on your channel a week or so ago when I was searching Marshall jc800’s.. No bs talking just straight Rock and fucking Roll!! Love it!!
Awesome! Thanks so much for checking out the videos!
The Mr Big song is one of the first songs I ever learned on guitar when I was like 13 and trying to impress a guy 😄
That's awesome! Thanks so much for checking out the video.
Great sound as usual - I looked up a couple of the songs because of your riffing but your sound is much heavier haha :) Oh and hooray for Square Hammer :)
Thanks so much!!
What a sound 😱😱😱
plx use this JM to make more video❤️
it's difficult to find other video on UA-cam using this guitar🙈 Love it
I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
That song!!!!
your blessed man amazing
Top as always! ❤
Thank you so much for the video! Stunning guitar. I'm looking for one and I might be able to find one. Do you know ifis those are normal-sized Humbucker pickups please? Or Jazzmaster-sized?
Thanks! These are standard sized humbuckers so most replacement humbuckers would work fine with it.
Teenage Wrist and Ghost ❤️
I'm subbing because of those toanzzzzzzzzz, hot damn.
Right on! Thanks so much for checking out the video!
Goddamn every tone you get is amazing.
Thanks so much Craig!
Killer Demo and guitar! TONE FOR DAYS!
Thanks so much Emilio!
Fender Japan make some good shit.
Great video and awesome playing! What's the scale length on this one?
Thanks so much! It's standard Fender 25.5" scale. Check the video description for full specs.
Hey Zach, I just purchased this guitar from a Japanese dealer like you mentioned. I’m struggling to find in depth specs on the instrument. Do you know what pickups it has? I’ve seen comments saying it’s gen 4 fender noiseless but have found nothing confirming. Any input is appreciated!

recessed TOM... dayum!
11:26 What’s the outro song??
I wanna get one and put a Stetsbar trem on it.
For sure
Y'all check out his bands Naked Pictures and Large Margin on Spotify, great stuff.
Can you do a full review on that pink tele please? Also did you sell the Road Worn and if so why?
Hey Ryan! I've been thinking about making a video on that pink tele. I did sell the Roadworn, but not because it wasn't a great guitar. Honestly just wanted a pink one haha. I prefer the pickups from the Roadworn, so I think I'm going to put a set of them in this guitar eventually. Both great guitars though!
Your tones are massive dude. Is the reverb coming from a pedal?
I need that JM
I would love to see you get down to a practice amp and a beater upper. I bet it would still sound killer. 💀
God I wish I wasn't so late to the party on these ones, every one I can find is like 3k Canadian now 😫
Wow! What a beautiful guitar! the top is arched?
Yep, it's arched very slightly. Makes for a really comfortable feel. Thanks for watching!
@@ZachWish great !! great riffs !! greetings from Argentina!
4:40 - 5:05 👍👍👍
Is there any way to find one of these in the states? The only ones I see on Reverb are in the UK... Also, INCREDIBLE playing and tones!
Thanks so much Juan! I don't think any shops are currently selling them in the states, but you can find plenty of shops in Japan on eBay that will ship to the US for fair rates.
@@ZachWish thanks man! I didn't even think to check eBay!
Whats that song in the beginning? I love it!
That's called "That Song" by Big Wreck. Great band. All riff names are in the video description if you're interested. Thanks for watching!
Hey Zach, what tuning are you in for Silverspoon? Trying to learn it. D standard with capo on 2nd?
Yeah! That's the tuning that I'm playing it in, but the song is actually played E standard with a capo on the second fret. Super cool riff!
Wait is this...That Song?
Oh, that beauty had caught my eye in the last video! Great playing as always, man. How would you say it compares to a Pro Mod Charvel (Mexican) in terms of build quality and features? .
I'd probably give the edge to this Fender just slightly, but those Mexican Charvels are super nice as well. Hard to go wrong with either. Love the truss rod adjustment wheel placement on those. Thanks!
@@ZachWish Thank you for the reply!
3:31 song or inspiration? Love your tone and playing as always.
Thanks very much! That's "Silverspoon" by Teenage Wrist. All riffs are listed in the video description if you're interested.
At last Jazzmaster joined Aerodyne series
Isnt the humbuckers take away from the Jazzmaster character? I just thought if I should change it to the humbucker
I think this guitar is going for it's own thing, not trying to be a traditional Jazzmaster. I've always loved the Jazzmaster shape but wanted something that would work well in my heavier bands, and this guitar works great for that. Thanks so much for checking out the video!
@@ZachWish I know! i got one cause of Knuckle Puck, the guy Nick there has a MIJ one, but I thought that the secret to the Jazzmaster high gain stuff is just a higher output Jazzmaster pickup
Super ❤️🎸
riff maneiro!
Anyone selling theirs?
So basically this is a somewhat aerodyne jazzmaster
Are you Canadian? Don't hear too much Big Wreck on YT.
Not Canadian but love Big Wreck! Visited a few times and really enjoyed it up there. Thanks for checking out the video.
This jazzmaster is an anti-Jazzmaster as it sounds nothing like a traditional Jazzmaster and has likely pissed off all the elitist snobs. I like that.
;)
(Disclaimer: I own a AO60s JM & JG but I’m not adverse to these high output modern JMs by any means. I think they’re excellent.)
brooooooo........here's my wallet...take the money....all of it.....
This but 30 inch scale
So the perfect jazzmaster does exist and it's Japanese
Big Wreck.
Are you a faceless ghoul. Square Hammer by Ghost.
👻 👻 👻
Sick guitar! Too bad it's over 3 grand
Think it just depends where you look. They're listed on the Fender Japan site for ¥ 168,300 which is right around $1,500 USD depending on the day. Thanks for checking out the video!
Sounds really good but a JM needs a wiggle stick , sorry
Doesnt mention once which model it is...cant find it anywhere under MIJ Jazzmaster. Thanks for the tease 🙏👍🖕
It's in the title of the video and the video description. "Fender Made in Japan Modern Jazzmaster." It's a 2 year old video when you could order them from Fender Japan or a good amount of online shops. They pop up on Reverb from time to time if you're interested.
@@ZachWish It was hard as shit to find but I found one. MIJ Fender does as horrible job naming their shit, especially their pickups. I didn't think the Modern part of the title had anything to do with the model name. My bad bruh.
