Bridge looks okay.The fretboard has cracks and the frets have some white stuffs. The tuning peg is also dirty.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Jazzmaster Classic 60's Vibe | Bang for your buck!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019
    Color: Sonic BlueVerified Purchase
    I've wanted a Jazzmaster for years but I could never afford one and I refused to do financing as I don't want to incur debt. Even the old Jazzmaster Vintage Modified's were still too expensive during the season of life I was in, but recently I was able to save up the cash to go guitar shopping again.

    I play electric guitar in my church worship team. I don't need anything to crazy, as long as the playability, tone and there. Recently, I walked into a guitar store and saw the Sonic Blue Jazzmaster Classic VIbe and I was immediately drawn to its striking appearance. When I picked it up the weight was just right. Not too heavy or light. The C-Shape neck is super comfortable and smooth and the Indian Laurel Fingerboard feels nice. The overall build quality feels inline to what you'd see in a Fender line Jazzmaster. If you pull up the specs on Fender.com on both the Squier JM and Fender JM you'll see a ton of similar parts (and possibly some better specs).

    The tone is fantastic and you can really get a tone of range out of the Duncan designed pickups and various selectors and circuits. If you're a guitarist on a low budget or you're looking for your first guitar, this is a fantastic option for the money. Some people won't be willing to wear the Squier logo on the headstock, but honestly, they did a great job making it look appealing on the headstock design. Also when you play it that won't matter so much!

    Here are some final thoughts:
    -Beware of ordering online. You'll want to purchase a cleaning kit like the Duncan 65 guitar maintenance kit. My guitar came in with dull frets and a dry fingerboard. This most likely due to it sitting in a warehouse and in a box for so long without proper care. The kit will also give you solutions to polish and wax your new baby.
    -Beware of buying cases. Not all guitar cases will fit a Jazzmaster style body as it has a unique offset shape and length. I ordered a case but it didn't fit so when searching make sure the item clearly states "Fits Jazzmaster Style Guitars"
    -Depending on the seller, the guitar strings may be on the guitar during shipping. My guitar was shipped with strings on but my high e string popped out in the box. That was disappointing, so maybe order a set of fresh strings to change once it arrives. I recommend .10 gauge Ernie Ball Slinky Electric Guitar Strings. The Squier comes equipped with .09's by default.
    -The bridge is a major topic when discussing Jazzmasters, but the mustang style bridge works perfectly for the type of music I play which is mainly Worship Music. A lot of JM players will go for the Mastery Bridge which costs around $200, but try out the Mustang bridge before you throw your money into modding the guitar.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The quality is there- and so is the surf sound!!
    Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2023
    Color: Sonic BlueVerified Purchase
    I had an American-made Jazzmaster in 1965, and have owned more than 25 guitars over the years. The Jazzmaster has a unique "surf guitar" sound with both pickups on and I missed it! This Squier version has it in spades. The quality of this Indonesian-made guitar was top-notch- finish, plating, intonation, neck pocket fit- basically everything about the guitar. I suspect that computer-controlled NC machines these days are even more accurate than the ones used in the 60's. I changed the strings from the factory-installed .009-.042 to a set of .010-.046, gave the truss rod 1/4 turn anticlockwise, verified the resulting neck relief, gave the neck a coat of F-One oil since it was pretty dry, and gave the strings and back of the neck a shot of Tone Finger-Ease. Vive la difference! (These products are available on Amazon and I highly recommend them both). I couldn't be happier- especially since there was a $100 off sale when I purchased my Jazzmaster! Thanks, Fender, my Telecaster now has a cousin to play with!

    Color: Olympic WhiteVerified Purchase
    I was not happy with the packging it was shipped in, but it got here in good shape, so I won't complain more. This guitar is beautiful, and plays great.
    I have had people who use PRS guitars criticise my choices. I have had people who spend thousands of dollars on amps and guitars criticise my choices. I had a freind who said " If he can play like that, on that guitar, imagine what he could do with a GOOD guitar. I built my own rackmount system out of junk, and my rhythm guitarist had to buy a Mesa triple rectifier to keep up with my sound.
    Squier guitars are BETTER than fenders. WHY? The neck is thinner. The fretboard is more curved. These gutars are much better than the true Fenders, in my opinion. I love playing Squiers. the sound is better than the real McCoy and the guitar is easier to play. Ofcourse... you need to know how to process your sound... But if you can master that,... why not spend $500.00 for a guitar you LOVE instead of $2500.00 for a guitar you have to "Get used to". I know at least 3 other people who collect old Squiers. WHY? because they are GREAT GUITARS.

    It is a Jazzmaster by Squier but close your ears and you would never know it is not a higher priced Fender version. Excellent work Squier
    Came needing a setup as expected, adjusted truss, changed strings and setup bridge/intonation. Came with 9-42 strings - changed to 8-28's for my arthritic hands. Plays like a champ. If you not able to do setup plan on taking to qualified tech/luthier & paying to have it setup correctly

    Love my new guitar, it was listed as good condition, but was actually flawless, glad I was able to save a few bucks. The only thing it needed was to condition the neck as it was very dry, but overall I could not be happier with this guitar. The sound is great and the look of the guitar is awesome.

    1.0 out of 5 stars Excellent sound and design, poor quality control
    Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2019
    Color: 3-Color SunburstVerified Purchase
    I received this guitar about three days ago, and instantly enjoyed playing it. It's easy to play, beautiful to look at, and the pickups sound excellent. However, after less than two hours of playing, the pickup switch failed and now the two pickups won't work together. When the selector is in the middle, it just plays the neck pickup instead of both neck and bridge. Highly disappointing, especially from a company like fender that I had previously known to consistently pump out great value guitars in the squier line.

    had to change my review to one star. I received a replacement after this one failed, and it too failed after ten minutes of playing. I am incredibly disappointed by the quality control of these guitars

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good guitars, but not perfect, and need setup
    Reviewed in Canada on July 14, 2022
    Color: Sonic BlueVerified Purchase
    I bought a total of three Squier Classic Vibe guitars. Two are Jazzmasters, and one Jaguar.

    The Jaguar was my first, and I like everything about it, except the bridge pickup. I'm going to swap it with a mini humbucker, and that should solve that.

    The Jazzmaster I got first was sonic blue. The photos on here and the videos and photos elsewhere make it look super light, as if you could barely tell it's blue. This is strange to me, because in person, it looks super blue. Sky blue, almost. I hated it... I loved the actual guitar, after a setup. But I would never love the guitar as a whole because the blue just looks bad to me. I did have to shim the neck, and could not get it to stop buzzing even then. On top of that, the pickup selector started flaking out after a couple weeks. One of the tuning pegs was loose. I tried hard despite all that, to grow to love it, but I could not. Especially the finish.

    That's why I also got a burst Jazzmaster, and the wood blocks actually matched quite well - way better than my old Jagmaster. It came set up quite well out of the box; surprisingly almost in tune. I still pulled it all apart to clean the fretboard, polish all the frets, change the strings, etc. but didn't have to shim the neck (and no shim was present in the pocket). So far, so good. I expect the switch will crap out soon, but hopefully not. I may have to upgrade the wiring harness. This has become my favourite guitar.

    I would love to buy more Classic Vibe guitars - a Strat, a Mustang, and a Bass VI are all on my radar. We'll see. I already have way too many guitars! I need more time, to actually play them. I also wish Squier made a lefty Classic Vibe proper Jazzmaster Mini, so I could gift it to my son (who is left handed).

    Anyhow, I don't own any Fender electric guitars, so I can't compare them to these, but I can compare these to other Squiers I've owned and played. They're at least as good as the Jagmaster (I like them better), and way better than the Bullets and Affinitys and the various Squier bass guitars I've tried. I love my Classic Vibes, even more than my Jacksons and Epiphone. Preference, perhaps. They aren't put together with the most care, but you can set them up pretty nicely with maybe an hour of work on your part. And you get to know your instrument better. Win-win!

    UPDATE, 7 MONTHS LATER:

    First of all, I did go ahead and upgrade the bridge pickup in the Jaguar to a Hot Rails, and honestly, it isn't THAT much different. I still don't really love the guitar. I'm glad I bought it, though, because I was considering getting a Vintera Jaguar originally, but opted to get multiple Squiers instead. Had I not done that, I might be sitting here with one expensive guitar I hated. Luckily for me, I got the Jazzmaster too, and discovered how much I absolutely adore it. The Jaguar goes neglected, hanging on my wall, collecting dust.

    My burst Jazzmaster, on the other hand, has been played almost every day of the past 7 months or so. No buzzing, and no issues with the switches or anything as of yet, thankfully. I've changed literally everything about my rig since the day I got it - changed my half-stack Mustang out for a Jazz Chorus, got a whole pedal board going now, and it's just great. The Jazzmaster sounds unique, and it is so inspiring to play. I love it. I have decided to get a Fender Jazzmaster next (Japanese import), and this Squier will stay in my collection. I am planning to string it up as a baritone, and then maybe toss a humbucker in the bridge (haven't decided yet). Compared to the Fender (which hasn't arrived yet, but based on specs and photos), I think it actually looks better. I prefer the skunk stripe neck, and the body finish looks a little cooler to me, unsure about the fretboard yet. But anyhow, you can't go wrong with the Classic Vibe series, I'm convinced. But if you have a nagging in your soul for a headstock that says Fender, even these great Squiers won't quench that completely.

    UPDATE, JANUARY 2024:

    I sold the Jaguar, strung up the burst Jazzmaster as a baritone, got my Japanese import, and also bought a Mexican Fender Jazzmaster. The Classic Vibe is probably on par with the Player Jazzmaster, in my books. Actually, if you care about vintage specs, the Classic Vibe is closer to a true Jazzmaster. The fit and finish seems about the same, at the end of the day. I don't regret buying the Player because it was on sale at a great discount, close to Squier prices, but I don't feel as inspired by it. My Japanese import, on the other hand, gets the majority of my attention, now. The Classic Vibe is good, but the Japanese Fender is on a whole other level!
