You certainly don't have to invest a lot of money to get a lot of guitar these days and this J. Mascis Jazzmaster is proof positive! Squier has long been the go-to brand for the beginner guitarist, offering great playability, classic sounds, and great looks at a fraction of the cost of USA-made models. Well, Squier has been making the finest guitars to bear their name, aside from the Japanese and USA models, of course! So if the typical Strat or Tele ain't your thing, an Offset may be!
A Basswood body is a fairly neutral choice to let the pickups do their thing. Finish in Vintage White with a polyurethane finish will help protect this guitar for years. The tummy cut and arm bevel contours on the body make it far more comfortable than an instrument without them. Throw a gold anodized pickguard onto the guitar and we have one of the coolest-looking Squier's to have ever existed!
Squier® honors alt-rock godfather and Dinosaur Jr. leader J Mascis with a striking new Jazzmaster® guitar model that delivers as much massive sound and performance as its namesake. The pickups, hardware and finish are all specified by Mascis himself for tremendous tone and value. These pickups do the clean Fender thing amazingly well but they also interact with pedals very well. The lead and rhythm circuits only add to the tonal versatility. Only one instrument is good enough to bear his signature on his headstock—the J Mascis Jazzmaster.
