    Sounds killer.. still trying to snag an old oxblood but DAMN I promised myself if Fender ever released a maple fretboard with square black inlays for a guitar (as opposed to bass), that I would drop everything and get it because I love the retro look 😍 I do remember Troy saying he preferred rosewood boards for a jazzmaster but I'm sure whatever "darkness" comes from the rosewood can be added into the pedal EQ somewhere. It just looks so good! I am tempted to swap the pick guard for black so the whole thing matches but that might be me...

    Great video, i always love your stuff especially when it's about qotsa. The maple fretboard aspect of this guitar is the most important for me, i always prefer maple. I love how it sounds and feels, also how it brings out the beauty of the guitar. I think the copper color would have been lost with a darker fretboard. This is the same price as a usa made jazzmaster however it looks like it's worth it. I was just looking to get a jazzmaster but still not sure if i will order this one. I own a pair of pointy shoes though, maybe i should

    I love your videos and this guitar review!!! Wanted your advice on the guitar. I am looking at buying a Jazzmaster and I'm seriously considering the Troy Van Signature in Copper Age. I was just skeptical about whether the guitar can handle heavier gauge strings since I've noticed that Fender ships it with 9 gauge strings. I like playing 10s and have heard many people complain about how the Jazzmaster trem system gets stiff with heavier gauge strings. Would love to hear what you think and any advice you may have. Thanks

    This video is sponsored by Fender but you’ll be objective. You have on objection about the neck... but in fact not...
    I don’t have anything about sponsored videos, I just think they should be speechless.
