yes, nobody ever uses that "awful Jazzmaster trem"...except for Swervedriver, Elvis Costello, My Bloody Valentine, Dinosaur Jr., Curve, The Cure, Alcest, Wilco, Sonic Youth, Yo La Tengo, etc etc.
seriously, it takes ten minutes to set one up properly. it's basically the same as a Bigsby, except the spring is inside the body. if someone doesn't like the rocking bridge (which admittedly gives some people issues), it's easy to either tape the posts or just install one of the many aftermarket options. the offset trem absolutely works, it's just different than a Strat style trem and isn't meant for the same kind of abuse.
I actually far prefer the Jazzmaster trem to the strat trem. The action is a bit slower and more precise, the arm is longer and more comfortable, and it strays in tune extremely well if it's set up properly. I do prefer something like a mastery bridge or mustang bridge, though.
Excellent bands sir. These guys here are mostly about the cock-rock though, so it's no surprise, they probably only think of doing dive-bombs when they see a vibrato bar on a guitar. I mainly use 'em to put a nice shimmer on chords and the jazzmaster/jaguar trem kills the strat's in that regard, though admittedly I'm a strat guy.
primeDecomposition Give three examples of any of those bands using the vibrola on a jm for a divebomb. Just three.
***** I adore Jazzmasters. They're my favorite guitars ever made. But nowadays, the stock trems are useless. They need to just license the Mastery Bridge and make it the official bridge and trem. It'd be worth every cent of the price increase.
ftr2216 I think he meant the demo guys. Not those bands.
i didnt expect the price to be so high for an american special
lol your profile pic reflects your sentiment. :)
They are the same price as the rest of the American Special guitars.
Austin Valley i've never seen an american special even remotely that high
littleredguitars2 I don't know what they're advertising them for but in the U.S. American specials are $899.99 across the line.
Austin Valley Going off of the links they provided in the About section, they're selling them for 875 pounds each, to put that in US dollars, about $1400 :o not sure why they're priced so high.
jazzmaster pickups aren't p90s. They're just jazzmaster pickups >
It's amazing how people still get that wrong. The entire construction of P90's vs Jazzmaster pickups, they're built completely different and sound different!
I know Fender likes to put every possible pickup into their handful of body shapes, but humbuckers DISGUISED as Jazzmaster pickups is just wrong.
Fender is still way less boring than Gibson. Gee, let's see, SG, Les Paul, Explorer, Flying V and a few models of semi-/hollowbody, all with 2 humbuckers, 24.75" scale, etc. YAWN.
I agree, it's like how Fender have put three pickups in a telecaster, what are they playing at? Ahaha
AnimalHouseVetVideos True
Dat Mustang....... DAMN!!!!
I think I might sell my strat for a jazz master
These should be renamed the Fender Putang and Jizzmaster.
Poontang would have been so much better
the jazz master sounds freaking amazing
Another video where Chapman plays just rock. Great versatility.
Forget the guitars, I want that mug!
That mustang sounds amazing...
FENDER. For Christ's sake. AMERICAN OR JAPANESE VINTAGE-CORRECT JAZZMASTER THAT I CAN AFFORD. I know you can do it. Just have the Japanese start building the CP Jazzmaster, like with the Classic Series Mustang. That's all you have to do. I don't even mind the incorrect fingerboard radius.
Same with the Mustang. I'd take a Classic Series '65 over this any day. It has a trem, and single coils. Coil splitting just isn't the same. PLUS it has the right radius.
These are nice, and I'd be happy to own one, but I don't see why anyone would buy this when you can get a Japanese Jazzy or Mustang for about the same price, and they'll have trems and the right circuits.
so i noticed in the backround, chappers guitar rack...
the rest are just chillin', then the V is all like... "yo!"
i dont care if the guitars of choice and playing are not my preference, i always watch just for the chappers/captain banter!
That looks like a great Mustang.
The Jagstang needs to return
I've been nice lady, f***ing love it. And loved the Mustang too.
You know what pickups have a great name and sound? The chapman Guitarnivores. :D
dat tone tho
I have a Japanese 95' Mustang which I absolutely love for the range in sounds it produces; I could never upgrade either pickup for the humbuckers on the American special. But I'm so tempted to get the American Special Mustang too for gutsier stuff- Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnn it's so tight
I'd love a 24" scale Chapman guitar.
The riff at 11:25 is a masterclass in how to get the huge sound obtained in recordings with a slightly gain heavy low end guitar and a mild crunch on a more mid/treble based guitar. Mix between both = tonegasm :3
chappers quite likes rating things 8.5 haha. nice video
A Jazzmaster without the floating tremolo and a Mustang with humbuckers. It's simply blasphemy for me. Awful.
True - however I have a Jazzmaster and the trem and bridge were nighmarish - I removed them and installed a Bigsby! It's a fine trem for that guitar - looks and sounds killer. I had to keep the plate from the old trem on to cover the hole - if I had the above Jazzmaster that wouldn't be an issue. So..you could get this one and put a good trem on it aftermarket and be happy. Without a huge body rout to deal with.
NO man!!!! what have ya done! the floating tremolo mounted on jazzmaster and jaguar is the best tremolo ever, it's the only one that never stretch the strings out of tune (of course provided you play strings that are at least .012 'cause those models weren't suppose to be played with thinner strings...they were meant for jazz and badass surf music, not AOR :D )
an actual problem could be with the bridge, since sometimes it doesn't keep some strings within the guide if you strum the guitar very hard.
I perfectly solved that problem by replacing the jazzmaster bridge with a Mustang bridge, keeping the floating tremolo alive and kicking! :D
it's not a case that those guitar models were the most frequently used in the music genre that make the most extensive use of tremolo, that is surf rock...
herbertbeiderbecke As with all things man made some are better than others - mine wasn't a good trem - though it seems the Bigsby would be a stranger on that axe - it's actually quite awesome. I wouldn't do it to an expensive JM - but this one...perfect candidate! My fellow axe slingers in the area are all falling in love with it. And I'm the only dude anywhere with one like this.
herbertbeiderbecke Tell that to Kurt Cobain!!
The rhythm sound of the two guitars together, hard panned, is just heavenly. Not a combination I'd ever have thought of, but very tempted to try now.
Great demo, guys! The music at the end scared the shit out of me, though. lol You have to remember, some of us are listening on relatively large studio monitors. ;)
That's why I like it ;)
I wish Fender would stop dicking around with models like this and just bring out American Standard versions of offsets such as these.
Why? These are the only types of these two guitars I would ever buy. Seeing as I like humbuckers for gain and I don't like tremolos. Obviously they appeal to an audience, i.e., me. I'm sure that fender has a model of these awesome instruments that would appeal to you, and if not, look elsewhere or buy a different Fender! They do make a few different more traditional models of these two, but I don't know the prices. I would suggest looking around, even if it means the used market, seeing as you could probably find the perfect guitar for you, for not much money.
+owwwwcccchhhh Each to their own. I've got a more of a traditional Jazzmaster myself. I love the unique term and rhythm circuit on them. I guess it's about supply and demand, but I'm sure a lot of people want a USA standard JM!
For me, a Jazzmaster with Humbuckers, a hardtail bridge and no rhythm circuit just seems...not very Jazzmaster like.
I actually quite like the humbuckered mustang.
they have
Rob you should work a little on the audio. the differences between the dialogues and the time when you're playing the guitar is really huge. but as always great video! cheers!
hey chappers can you do a review of the ESP LTD Eclipse EC-256 blk?
im thinking about picking one up at andertons and want to know how it sounds.
rock and metal would be my style of music
thx!
I'd say search on his channel for ESP LTD Eclipse vids. I know he did one or a few before.
Best ending ever... Great editing
the trem system on the jazzmaster is one of the best it's the bridge who does'nt if you change it for a mastery bridge or just un mustang it works billantly and you dont hurt your hand as on the stratocaster shitty trem system with his sawtooth screws
Personally I like the guitars with a black finish. Looks nice with the pickguard.
jazzmaster/jaguar without tremolo is like a castrated cat, because it's actually one of the essentials of these guitars.
Just bought a black one... No complaints... sounds sweet through my blues jr. III Might be the best US made guitar under $1000... No case... bleh, no tremolo...I don't care.
I feel like I need one of these BADLY
A Vann why do you use... so many elipsis... you kill me.... just make full coherent sentences... please...
Some people in this comment section need to brush up on their guitar knowledge...
What an amazing channel, seriously it's so hard to upload everyday so hats off to you chappers, and indeed the captain
I like when you guys jam like you've been doing recently.
They should release an album
didnt choper live in a tiny flat ? got rich too quick ??
That Mustang sounds fantastic! It clicked with me!
that's tewm ... you're a fast learner chappers ! lovin the maltese references in the vids !
Great tones :)
Could You tell me what amp is used on the OUTRO song on the end ?
Damn that mustang looks so sexy. I've never seen that model before now. Should I get that instead of a Strat?
Hand_of_Ares yes!
Yo guys, do you have any idea of what the mustang weighs. cuz im a little guy, and i wont be able yo carry around like a huge ass guitar for live plays.
If they're anything like my CIJ Mustang, they are light as hell. Like, 6-7lbs maybe?
Really loving that Mustang!
16:30 - that was very David Brent-y haha
whats that little spanky tune chappers is playing at around 8.25?
My bad, guess they're not P90s? They sound awesome, either way.
J Mascis disagrees with you on the Jazzmaster Tremolo comments.
But you make up for it with your ever awesome videos. I personally love my Classic Player Jazzmaster, but might need to pop in to Andertons to check out these new American ones, they tasty.
can hardly hear the talking then the guitars blow your fucking head off.
You guys shaved the 'staches before the end of "Movember". Why?
I don't think that jazzmaster s special. All they've done is taken the trem off.
@2.14: Extremely poor attempt to paw at ones own t-shirt in the vein hope that it will obscure ones guttage of rotoundedness!!
I like both gtrs. But i think the Orange blowed the marshall away.
the jams in the vid were great
Yeah rob can you use two mics when you demo one guitar; as I have complained before, one mic sounds all dry and nasty.
Could You tell me what amp is used in the OUTRO song riff on the end ??
Great solo at the start captain, subtly brilliant. For me thats how guitar should be played.
The lack of a trem system on the Jazzmaster is the only negative in my opinion
id get the jazzmaster and cut out a hole for the jm trem and get right of the stop bar tail piece
will you guys test the jim root fenders eg jazzmaster or strat
the mustang also sounds amazing
What is the song rob plays at about 8:31? Its nice.
it is his song called "majestic"
That mix at 17.10 sounds absolutely perfect in that wee jam
The Jazzmaster has the same electronic configuration and body as Taylor York's custom Jazzmaster. He removed the top switches and moved the toggle switch to the upper bout. Only difference is that he has a Phat Cat P-90 in the neck and an Alnico II Pro in the bridge. He also has binding on the neck.
Really interested in the Jazzmaster. Probably would change the pickups though. Don't care for the idea of a humbucker in a Jazzmaster.
Mmmmm... The cleans on those P90s...
Mustang!!!
you can look up patent numbers on google
Love these guys. Never skimp on the reviews and their passion is infectious.
Can somebody explain to me those single coil humbuckers¿¿¿¿
Get the MIM Jazzmaster. It keeps the the rhythm circuit and it sounds wicked overdriven.
Yayyy im finally the "first" guy, and youtube's HD aint working.
At last ive been looking around in youtube to hear a decent review! Great guitars wanna buy one now!!
there is no american standard :/
Nice sounding jam, Lads. I'm a beginner - just wondering what chords they were. :)
ANYONE know where I can get one of these Mustangs? They're still on Fender's website, but dealers are scarce. I'd absolutely love one of these.
Man Rob, you're playing just keeps getting better and better! Loved your stuff in this vid, keep it up!
And the pickups are supposed to be voiced like a P90 in the Jazzmaster, I think.
Ugly guitars. Actually sound pretty good though! Nice work.
You have no taste...
What is the song rob plads in
damn, wish I could afford both of these. then just Gibson 335 and I would get all my tones covered perfectly!
Hum cancelling single coils. There's a good idea. They should have been doing that for decades.
Don't understand why the Captain isn't a fan of the Jazzmaster tremolo! I think it's the best tremolo Fender ever released
I was wondering why Rob was so much louder, then I put my right ear bud in.
Hahaha
Very entertaining reviews. I went in thinking the Jazzmaster would appeal to me more, but that mustang was pretty incredible.
Love the Marshal..though the Orange sounds more thick...I would be nice to see the review with both the guitars plugged into the same amp with the same presets dialed in. And the blues jam sessions you'll have...love em'!
Also, guys, even without the stacked humbuckers, Jazzmasters don't use P90s (the exception is the Squier J Mascis). P90s are built like PAF-style humbuckers. There's a magnet on the bottom, and adjustable pole pieces that aren't inherently magnetic over that. Jazzy pickups are like Strat pickups. The pole pieces themselves are the magnets. So: Jazzmaster pickups LOOK like P90s, but they're built like wide, flat Strat pickups. Jazzmaster pickups don't really sound anything like P90s. Like I said, the Squier J Mascis is an exception: its pickups are actually built like P90s, with adjustable pole pieces and a bar magnet. I think they did this because J uses LP Jrs (with P90s) to record.
Humbuckers can be tapped, they just have a wire coming off before the end of the bobbin that removes winds. Makes it just a lower power humbucker
Hi all from Tasmania/Australia. I'm an ex-pat British and would have loved to have seen a video view from Chappers lounge room of the English sea side. Also, could you perhaps play some different familiar tunes with your videos. Love the great work though.
Just got my road worn Jazz and love it. Mustang bridge went on before playing one note thought.
I have a mustang special and I had twelves down half a step and it was not too bad. I currently have tens and I like it perfectly!
At 8:25 what would you call that style of playing?? I hear it played in your videos sometimes! It sounds awesome!
i will forever be jealous of chapper's guitar rig. its too beautiful
And what "links below" are they talking about in the info area? There are no links.
Jazzmaster on the Orange sounds boss ... nice :)
The Jazzmaster trem worked wonderfully for those that had a sound that necessitated that particular trem type. I think as Catdumpling points out in an earlier comment that the Captian is forgetting quite a few examples of some pretty successful bands that have used that particular trem to a great degree and effect.
Is that first sing yall played a real song, or were you just jamming?
They sound loverly, good work guys. Keep it up!
