Hi all,
I've been scouring the 'net for an affordable Jag/Jazz for a while now and have finally settled on the idea of a Blacktop Jazzmaster HS - I've had a Squier Jagmaster for a while now (which I truly, dearly love - shockingly good for the price!) and have had a play on several vintage Jazzmasters - I think I've found the build for me in the HS but wanted to get some experienced opinions and background on the differences. I've already been in discussion with an expert on the matter that says this is the way to go at the budget I'm on, but I'm now looking for a few more perspectives.
First out, I love the pickup selection that's been made here - for the sort of thing I'm doing, the humbucker and the single coil are going to give me the versatility I need and of course, the bridge and trem set up are looking fantastic to me - it might take me a while to adjust to a floating trem, but for the price, this seems a no-brainer - I can pick one up for £455, which is stupidly reasonable.
Has anyone had any bad experiences with this model? I don't think there's a lot that's going to sway my decision at this point, but I'd just like to hear from others, really.
Oh and if you don't have any horror stories on the HS to share, please feel free to tell me just how awesome it is!
Thanks guys,
c.
