Fender Player Jazzmaster 3-Color Sunburst PF
This a comfy guitar which plays nicely sitting down or standing up.
I like the simplicity of the controls in comparison to the earlier models with switches and knobs; ect
On neck selection the tones are lovely and bright, not a telecaster, and not a strat either, which gives this guitar something of a unique edge in my humble opinion
The midway point for both pick ups gives a nice sound for rhythm work, but the jewel in the crown is the bridge pick up, with the coil splitter selected. A wolf in sheep's clothing is waiting to be unleashed.
For me this is a very versatile guitar. It can give wonderful jangly surfer type tones, or is equally at home playing the blues; but it has that edge for heavier rock type work and seems to be perfectly happy smashing out power chords.
I love my Tele and strat equally, but the Jazzmaster brings something else to the party. It's the wayward youth that empties a bottle of gin into the non alcoholic punch at your Aunty's party! A classic case of looks can be deceiving.
For me it's a very worthwhile addition to my collection. I would recommend trying one out, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
