Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster Limited-Edition Electric Guitar Surf Green


Description
The Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jazzmaster limited-edition electric guitar pays tribute to the legendary Fender model, delivering that unmistakable vintage sound and style at an affordable price. With its vintage-style tremolo bridge, you can emulate those expressive string bends of the masters. The lead/rhythm switch allows quick transitions between playing styles with just the flip of a switch. It produces the authentic Jazzmaster tone thanks to its dual Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups. You'll find it easy to play, with its comfortable C-shaped neck and tall, narrow frets on the Indian laurel fingerboard. The vintage-style floating bridge provides excellent intonation, while the nickel-plated hardware gives it that recognizable vintage aesthetic.
Bend and Sculpt Your Sound With the Vintage-Style Tremolo
Just like the original Jazzmaster models, this electric guitar comes equipped with a vintage-style tremolo bridge that enables those expressive string bending effects that the Jazzmaster is known for. The floating bridge allows you to dip and dive, emulating the playing styles of the masters. You can add vibrato, warmth and dimension to your sound as you sculpt your tone to perfection.
Quickly Switch Between Rhythm and Lead Playing
The Squier Classic Vibe Jazzmaster makes it easy to go from rhythm to searing lead lines with the flip of a switch. The onboard lead/rhythm circuit lets you quickly toggle between two distinct pickup combinations so you can alternate between chords and single-note runs seamlessly. It's a great feature that provides tonal versatility for any style of playing.
Proprietary Pickups Produce Iconic Jazzmaster Tone
This guitar comes loaded with dual Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups that deliver the trademark Jazzmaster sound. The bridge and neck pickups provide crystal-clear treble and robust low end, with balanced midrange for well-defined tone. Whether you want to play surf rock, indie, jazz or any genre, these pickups capture the authentic tone that has defined the Jazzmaster legacy.
Enhanced Playability With Laurel Fingerboard
The Indian laurel fingerboard has tall, narrow vintage-style frets designed for enhanced playability and precision. The smooth laurel offers a fast feel, while the tall frets make it easy to execute bends with accuracy. Combined with the comfortable C-shaped neck, this guitar provides exceptional playability to match its iconic sound.

Tone Machine With Immediate Need Of Work
I want to love this guitar. Unfortunately however, I will have to be taking this one to a luthier to be set-up due to the neck. Everything for the most part is beautiful, it's a Jazzmaster. Fantastic dark, spanky jazzmaster tones, beautiful tortoise-shell guard, and the very eye-catching very elusive shell pink finish. Switches all seem to be in working order, though due to the position of the neck pickup to the strings right out of the box, the rhythm circuit will be noticeably quieter. Easy fix. I am unsure about the stability of the bridge, which is a Mustang bridge- a HUGE improvement, as I've seen in other reviews that the screwposts loosen by vibration. Vibrato does not return to tune. There is a very strange, unclean grime of some sort on the metal plate of the vibrato piece. I was unfortunate enough to receive a poorly conditioned neck, with glue residue left behind surrounding the tuning pegs on the face of the headstock. The lacquer finish is beautiful and is fine to play on. The fretboard is noticeably dry as well as the frets are unfinished, both feeling scratchy, and the frets being too rough to perform clean bends on. Not sure if it's the neck, the frets, or the bridge piece, or any of the three in combination that is causing the strings to be unable to bend even a half note without losing vibration, or being pinched off. Fret markers are a dark, cheap pearl. Overall, the fretboard itself just feels like Squier Affinity line quality. My impression is that most of the cost of this guitar- to keep it in line with the technologically cheaper instruments (telecaster the same price as a jazz, etc)- went into the body finish, and electronics. However, in the end I still love this thing and cannot wait to hear it sing once I get it set-up.

Really Disappointing
This review is for the FSR Surf Green jazzmaster. First, the color was way off. Squier's surf green was extremely pale, even less green than a mint green pickguard I had planned to put on it. If several tags on the guitar hadn't said "surf green", I would have thought they sent me the wrong guitar. The fretboard was a bit of a mess (dry and scratched up in many places) and the fretwork looked pretty sloppy, although I didn't notice too many sharp ends. The nut was also painted over, but I didn't spend enough time with the guitar to see if the buzzing was caused by it being poorly cut. The buzzing was really the last straw and, while I felt a good setup would go a long way toward getting rid of it, I wasn't prepared to invest any more in the guitar given the previously stated problems. I will say the pickups sounded good, but might be a bit shrill for some. Tort pickguard was nice if that's your thing. If you're okay with a pale, almost faded sonic blue finish, and you want the jazzmaster sound, you can take a gamble here. I just happened to lose.

I got this Classic Vibe Jazzmaster from Guitar Center on sale at an excellent price, and I wish I had bought it sooner! I have mostly Strats and Les Pauls, and this is different from anything I've played. Inspiring noises and great quality for the price! Hope I win the #sweepstakes !

Its a really good entry level guitar. It sound nice, handles well and is pretty easy to play. The biggest down side is the pick ups. They admit to much noise on some amps when your not playing, and it gets really annoying. But other than that, I would say its a nice guitar. It just needs some getting used to.
Great Buy and value

It sounds great and looks beautiful. I did some setup on it to get it to play better and now it's a delight. I'd highly recommend it after a good setup. It's got a lot of versatility with the pickups and rhythm circuit, and the tremolo can add some cool flavor.
I would not buy this guitar again

Why is the Daphne Blue Jazzmaster less expensive than the other CV 60's Jazzmasters? what are the differences? Different wood? Different frets? Different pickups? The number of rating stars is lower as well. What gives? Was it manufactured at a different time? Is it a bargain or a lower-class JM in comparison for those selling for $419? Bargain or regret?

What is the overall length and width of the guitar? I'm trying to figure out if I have enough space to hang it up on my wall.
