    Be careful of the Marie Condo method. First she gets you to get rid of all your Jazzmasters. Then when the emptiness sets in, she sells you a Jazzmaster scented candle.

    I enjoyed this video a lot. I purchased my Squire 40th Anniversary JM, because of you and Mike Adams. You guys were a great assistance in helping me narrow down my choice. I found one at a great price and am very happy with it, so thank you. I'd love to own a Vintera II, but it's a little out of my price range. Of the ones you're keeping, the M7, the EC, and Vintera II are my favorites and those are the ones I'd keep as well.

      Damn!!
      I just sold my very loved, 86 Fender Strat.
      Bought for $150.00, sold for $600.00.
      All so I could get my Son a big assed Xmas present.
      I'm waiting for my Squire Tele and Strat. Together $600+
      Should be here by next week.
      Bummer you had to drop your instruments.
      But, that's one of the big reasons we keep playing-
      There's a guitar around every corner! 🤜🤛🥰

      I have had mine for over a year now and really love it. It fixed all the problems the original JM's had and then some. Play it nearly every day and highly recommend it! The tremolo is amazingly smooth and has NONE of the problems of the original. I have had more comments on how beautiful the Dark Night finish than any of my other guitars finishes. Lastly, the neck is silky smooth.

    Emily this is a very niche request but do you ever plan on making a drippy surf demo with the Vintera 2? You’ve convinced me to get one and it’s my everything! but I would love to hear it through some professional recording/filming compared to my very quiet bedroom level set up. I’m running it through a surfybear metal into a TRRI. Sounds phenomenal but can’t find any surf demos with such a classic guitar. Happy New year!!!!

    @31:24 I think the algo led me to your channel to hear that comment - that it's too nice a guitar to keep... I had a 1966 Jazzmaster for 25 years, brilliant studio and stage guitar, but had to let it go about 5 years ago bc it was wearing out / falling apart and I couldn't bear to start a refurbishment. So, sold it all-original. Cried, A bit,
    Bought a Trussart Steelmaster, which is awesome. Still looking for a replacement JM to go with it... musing on a silverburst.
    Or maybe... and there goes another weekend!

    I played the same Vintera II that you have and it was great. I understand why you kept it and are selling the Squier version. I think all the guitars you chose to part with makes sense, though I think you should keep the "Dark Knight" Jazzmaster. I only have one Jazzmaster currently. It's my CIJ J Mascis Jazzmaster in Purple Sparkle with Curtis Novak JM-V/JM-FAT pickups. I know I eventually want another Jazzmaster and would love the Vintera II because of my affinity for Aluminum JM pickguards. I definitely want to checkout the Vintera II Competition Mustangs. Definitely get that Costello Jazzmaster sorted out because they are amazing.

      @@fuzzedOut I love it but they have really gone up in price since they were released back in the late 2000s. It has a tunamatic bridge with a 7.25" radius neck so you need a good setup but that goes without saying. The stock pickups are garbage so be prepared to buy some new ones.

    I have the 40th anniversary Squier Jazzmaster that I refinished and put snazzy Fralin pickups in, and I adore that thing. (The refin was a ton of work, and that also bonds it to you, right?) If anyone is thinking about buying yours... Do it, person! Those are nice instruments.
    The Vintera II series instruments that I've played at a local shop have all been really sweet, too. I don't think you can go wrong with those. Your raving about yours makes me want them even more. 😂

  • @christianberthiaumeccb

    Yo! I had myself more than 20 JM in my life... I had a 1996 MIJ as my first one... The tuning stability was a big issue on it. Few years later, I had an AVRI 2008. I like that one a lot but I had to sell it for paying my studies. After I went crazy and did buy and sell all these models: AVRI 65, CP, CIJ, Squier VM, JMascis, Elvis Costello signature, Custom shop heavy relic, classic 2015 MIM, AO 60's, Custom shop journeyman relic etc... And guess what, I used to get all rid of because I always thought that the next one would be the better one... I never had more than 2 at the same time. JM are my favorite guitars because I like all the " defaults" of it... Finally, I ended with a Vintage II 66 model sunburst just like your's and this is the one I will age with. It has everything I love, the radius, the pickup sound, the weight, the look, the black hardcase... I have the version with the correct headstock shape and frankly, that one is my homerun. Thx for your video, If I was more equiped at the time or more video geek, I would have share all of these JM I had over the years. Cheers from Montreal Canada.

    I never really gave Jazzmasters a really thorough test run. Perhaps the two I have played were just not the right ones. That 40th Anniversary edition sounds fantastic. I also just love the Elvis Costello one. And with a Bigsby, wow was I ever surprised at just how great that would be for ambient playing with a really good shimmerverb. You never fail to open new doors for me musically. I’m super drawn to that CV. It just sings to me.

    Thats alot of nice jazzmasters you have there. I built a Jazzblaster from a HS blacktop a few years back that in some ways today I regret trading it. BUT at the same time I would have liked to have had it with the block inlay'ed bound neck.
    I also wonder why there are not to many 12" radius fret board jazzmasters out there.
    Wish I had the funds to help you with some of those jazzmaster parts n suck. Good luck :)

  • @renmad0078
    @renmad0078 3 місяці тому

    90 %of the bad sound with the sound of cutting circuit come from the dust in the posts or from the togles switch and do not see you turn at all in your elvis costelo guitar and also manupulate few times your switch. Normaly you turn them a few time in both sens untill the scracth desapered and the same with the togles switch and it's good to go. But if it continu you will need to change the pot or the toggle normaly you should ear which one does the problems when you manipulate.
    For me i like the blue one the elvis even i couln't ear it and the vintera 2.
    I want to also to say, that it's strange but surely it's your taste, normaly the togle rythm circuit should give you more puch like a boost to take a lead voicing in a solo in your play for me you push the tone too low in his tone, i do excatly the reverse of you and i pussh the tone of this circuit at much higher level for my leads as i said before itks for me like a boost. But itks your taste i can understand. But i think you should listen this video with a good headphone because you will ear much better what sound it does. Have you ever tested the jazzmaster van troy maybe it could get interest you i don't know you will tell me. Nice viedo very instructive for me. Byebye😉👍
