Not the Squier I remember from the 90s

I started with a Squier Affinity strat in the late 90s and that guitar was definitely not professional grade material. So, fast forward to 2024, I was ready for a "real" Fender in the $ range. I was definitely impressed with this offering from Squier at 1/2 the price! Probably the BEST guitar I've ever owned. Better than guitars I've paid more than double for. Really cool look, excellent playability, and sounds amazing with my Fender Blues Jr! Great for classic rock and alternative/grunge type music. Very happy with this purchase.

Perfect for the Jazzmaster Curious

I purchased this 2021 Squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmaster over Labor Day Weekend 2022 for a killer price. I think it was on one of those boats waiting off Long Beach. It is a guitar worth the current asking price, but I love a good deal. It is well under 8 pounds and extremely comfortable to hold. It looks and sounds like a Jazzmaster. I had been warned that Jazzmasters need a little extra attention. I took off the neck and smoothed out the higher frets and shimmed the neck. I have no problem with the Laurel neck, and I like the neck in general. It has a hard, glassy coat of poly that is not unpleasant. I've come to love the vintage tuners because they string up quickly and allow the strings to be reinstalled quickly. I had some trouble with the rhythm circuit, but I resolved that with a couple of shots of Deoxit and routing the wires a little more carefully.

I've taken to the Jazzmaster's style and quirks, and one of these Squier Classic Vibes from Sweetwater would be a great way to find out if a Jazzmaster is a good fit for you.

SATISFIED!!!

Yes! Satisfied! Isn't that all that matters? I love my jazzmaster guitar!!! There are many negative reviews regarding Squiers out there, but the Squiers I own came from Sweetwater which, so far, have all (3) been great!!! No fret issues or even tuning issues!!! I used to think that buying a Squier instead of a Fender was settling. I was so wrong about that. Thank you Brandon and Sweetwater for being a reliable source for buying my instruments.

Amazing guitar for the money!

I've had an MIJ Jazzmaster and an American Pro II, and this guitar stands easily with them. I think I prefer it more to be honest. I love the light weight and the woodgrain coming through the sunburst finish. The standard pickups are actually fantastic and fairly authentic to the Jazzmaster sound. These guitars are amazing modding platforms as well, which is the main reason I bought mine. At a minimum, I would suggest shimming the neck pocket. A lot of people say you need to use proper shims, but I used pieces of a business card and am very happy with the increased break angle over the bridge and resonance is still great. I did have to give the neck a good oil treatment, and polish the frets with 0000 steel wool, as they were a bit scratchy and dull. I also swapped the pickups for the J Mascis ones, as I wanted a little more midrange and output, but that's just my preference. The standard trem is totally useable, but I sprung for the AVRI version and am very happy with it. I also added a gold anodized guard, which looks amazing and made the guitar super quiet.

Overall you cannot get more guitar for your money, in my opinion. I love that Sweetwater had actual pictures of the instrument and the weight listed. The entire ordering process was extremely smooth, and Ryan was very supportive and communicative.

Love my new Jazzmaster!

Here is the new Squier CV Jazzmaster. It has a 2020 serial number.
Bought it from Sweetwater so I could at least pick one with a nice dark fretboard.
Out of the box I found it to be one of the best guitars I have received when purchasing online.
I also considered the J Mascis JM, but I wanted actual JM pickups, not P90's. I'm glad I picked the CV.
This is my first JM so I spent quite a bit of time researching the somewhat unique setup process. I did have to ship the neck to get the break angle and action the way it should be.
The guitar had sat in the warehouse for awhile, and the fretboard needed a good cleaning and the frets polished.
The nut slots needed a bit of filing to get the nut action right, but that's typical. And I do have the tools and have done it several times.
Since I'm not using the tremolo, I set the proper height and then wrapped some electrical tape around the studs to keep it stable.
I see no reason to change the bridge.
I tried all the funky controls, but decided to just leave the switch in normal mode.
I expected to use 11's but 10's feel right for it. Action is low where I like it. Using D'addarios.
The electronics work as normal. No issues there. At this point I see no reason to upgrade the pots.
Tuning is stable.
I like the sound of the pickups. Chris Stapleton lives there. All in all an excellent experience with my friends at Sweetwater, especially Noah and Bryan!
