Fender Classic Players Jazzmaster?

[CodeDante]

Lately I have been wanting a jazzmaster to be potentially my next guitar since I see it being used by Nels Cline and Mike Eizinger. I just love the sounds they can get out of it. Since I could not afford a 62 reissue, i was looking at the cheaper Mim Classic Player Jm. Does anyone here own a Classic Players Jm? If so, what do you thing of it?

[astrozombie]

I tried a few, they're pretty good, much better than the blacktop and squier stuff.

[Severen]

They are great guitars for the money. I played a few and liked them I just ended up buying the Classic Player Jaguar HH instead. I will get one of the Jazzmasters and regular Jags as well. Good luck finding the sounds you are looking for.

I like them...as good as most upper echelon Mexican Fenders.

My favorite thing about them is at the shop where i work, if you type "ASS PLAY" into the database and search, the whole Classic Player line comes up.

lol!!

Cool. While I was looking at the Classic Player guitars, I began to take an interest in the baja tele. So this may come down to preferences but which guitar do you all prefer? Jazzmaster or tele and why?

Thats kinda like saying you really want a cheeseburger for lunch, but now you're thinkin burritos.

Its like, alright, man, guess you gota go with your heart, or whatever.

Yea. Makes sense. I'll have to try them both out when I get the chance. I was just curious what some peoples preferences are.

I can tell you what some people's preferences are.................

Some people prefer Jazzmaster;

Some people prefer Tele.

Why not both?

Warmoth's Jazzcaster

[Funkfingers]

Part of the Fender Jazzmaster (and, for that matter, Jaguar) tone comes from the hardware and the lengths of string between the string anchor points and the bridge saddles.

Telecasters and Telecasters adopting an offset waist body outline do not employ the same bridge/tailpiece hardware. Consequently, they will not sound quite the same.

This is not to say that I do not dig the visual aspects of the Jazzcaster idea.

This.

[astrozombie]

telecasters and jazzmasters are vastly different guitars..

[the guy who invented fire]

A Tele-Master isn't the answer...blind folded they sound just like Telecaster they just look like Jazzmasters.

he Classic Players JM is a cool guitar...had one, dig it, sold it...miss it.

However if you are looking at Tele's too just go play a bunch of guitars and see what you like the tone and feel of the best...

Would the classic player jazzmaster be able to get me the tone from this song?

To be safe, throw some SD Ant I's in it. That's what I have in my JM and that thing has the most delicious tone of anything in ever!

[MetalManiac]

Want I

Thanks I'll keep this in mind if I do end up getting the Cp JM. How is the Ant I set distorted? Could I get that heavier Incubus tone?
