Fender Gold Foil JazzMaster Review | Working Class Music

[@johnpickk7526]

👏👏👏 hell yeah, this is what we needed to hear! Its crazy the amount of MIM and USA fenders are coming out of the factory with these insane qc issues, yet squiers doing fantastic on all accounts.

[@mykhedelic6471]

I've had great times with Squiers, but I did get a CME exclusive that was flaw city. Neck pocket, scraping on the fretboard, stripped bridge screws, cheap alloy hardware (that last bit isn't in the same league as those build mistakes, but had to mention it, nonetheless.) Now, the pickups, the pickups sounded totally killer, so that was pretty redeeming but considering every other Squier I played or puchased of late, this thing was a total anomaly. Waited for over a year for it. WTF...

I bought a EOB Signature Strat from Sweetwater back in 2019. The shipping on it was delayed by 4 months because Sweetwater said the QC on ALL the units they received was so bad, they weren't going to sell them until Fender fixed them. That being said, the unit I received had no issues, but I'm glad Sweetwater didn't just push some piece of shit out the door and looked out for their customers.

[@JasonTMays]

That’s why we love Sweetwater!

[@rickeerie]

I heard there was a problem with the neck pockets being too shallow

[@mykhedelic6471]

I know a retailer that did NOT do that for me. I wish they would've even opened the box.

I've been waiting and it's finally here!!!

[@hypersphere412]

To put a positive spin on this, look at it this way. I've never wanted a Squier Jazzmaster more than I do now (I really want one).

[@mehabox]

Oh you should get it 100%. I have the 40th anniv vintage one in seafoam green. After some minor fret leveling it plays wonderfully. The luthier I gave it to loved it very much, he said he couldn't stop playing

[@hypersphere412]

@@mehabox The one I've always wanted is the J Mascis signature. I have a friend who has one and it's one of his favourite guitars in his collection. Living in New Zealand I don't have the same level of availability as some other parts of the world but there is a really nice 50's Classic Vibe that I have my eye on once I recover from the Yamaha Revstar I've just acquired.

[@silverman169]

@@hypersphere412 I can confirm the J Mascis Jazzmaster is such a great guitar! I'm also from NZ and managed to get one from Music Machine. The neck definitely lives up to the hype and is such a joy to play. I feel like the tuners are the same from the classic vibe, which are fine but it would be the first thing I would upgrade. Nonetheless the classic vibes are great guitars for the money too!

My Squire Jazzer was at least as well made a playable as this, at least the one I was sent. I sent it back the next day.

[@nowhereweareagain]

I’m convinced this whole gold foil series was just an attempt to burn through some wood they had sitting around, so they slapped them together without checking anything to see if it worked.

[@johnpaulohara2019]

Dude jason, even with string spacing issues your place was great! I loved that finger picking piece you had going on.

[@Artefracture]

Fender shouldn't have fired all those people. Squier's pissing long and hard on Fender. It's sad.

[@PedalPlayhouse]

When Jason plays that slow dive riff, makes my day. You guys keep getting guitars with issues 😢 for $1400 omggggg that’s horrible QC! When I tried a squire Bass VI in store out of the two the first one they handed to be was dead with frozen knobs.. and out of the 3 switches only one switch made a click noise in the amp I plugged into. Haha “let’s get ready to rumble” was needed for the roast segment. Are they going the gibson route of higher cost more QC issues? It really feels like it’s a real trend for them.

[@martianmurray]

Low End Lobster had string alignment issues with a gold foil bass. This is exactly why I won’t buy direct from Fender.

[@DevoT]

I'm 100% in agreement with you when it comes to these $1,200-1,400 mim Fenders compared to the Squier Classic Vibe/40th Anniversary series for nearly a thousand dollars less. I have a CV Jazzmaster CME in purple metallic and it is as nice as some mim guitars - if not nicer with a few mods. I've also played the 40th Anniversary Jazzmaster and it is a great guitar - I really like the satin finish and feel, not to mention the aged hardware and maple fretboard. It is crazy that so many people have been having these qc issues with the goldfoil series across the board. I saw a review of the Jazz Bass where the pickup was so far off the low e string was inaudible. Hopefully Fender will get their shit together because I actually do really like the concept behind this series.

[@ericinthekitchen]

Yes ! We want a cyclone comparison !

[@realxandercuck]

I have been subtly suggesting this for years. I have a 90s Cyclone II

[@Louis_Rain]

It is too bad because it looks super cool and dig that fretboard. I don't love the feel of bound Fender necks though, but they look cool, especially on this model with the ebony and those inlays. Bummer it's a dud.

[@WorkingClassMusic]

Oh for sure! This guitar looks great, aesthetic wise, but unfortunately being pretty doesn't effect the tone and quality

[@rbae]

Thanks for the candid review. I also really loved the design and was almost about to buy it, and now that they've even raised prices to $1,700-1,800 for American Jazzmasters, I just can't for the QC and the lack of character in sound compared to looks.

[@horus7854]

Honestly this is the first honest review I've maybe ever seen. The old AV, AVRI and CS jazzmaster are the real deal, some models since then are decent and the pickups can always be swapped out. Most of the shit they release is utter garbage. Most KZbinrs will give a positive review to every guitar released after just doing cheesy blues licks, leaving the tone all the way up on the lead circuit, making the guitar sound like a strat with their butt rock amp and pedal sound.

[@whssy]

When I saw these guitars I though "wow... it's almost as if Fender looked on the forums and saw the custom Marauder style creation that I had Ceccarini guitars build for me and used it as inspiration..." Ebony 12" fretboard.... check. Blocks/binding.... check. Jag pickup switching.... check. Colour matched body and headstock.... check. 3 pickups.... check. Main differences being mine has 2 Jazzmaster pickups and a lipstick, nitro finish, a rhythm circuit, wood scratch and control plates that I shellac polished myself, Schaller F-style tuners and a Stetsbar vibrato. All in it cost me less than these do (OK I had to assemble it myself, but still). Also I think they were looking at the old Hofner 175s and 176s (3 mini humbuckers and fancy neck). And Jamie Hince's modded Hofner Galaxies for the Bigsby. It's a killer idea - but marred in final execution, possibly worthwhile for the neck alone. It's interesting that Fender is clearly looking to us modders and custom builders for inspiration. Just wish they could pull the finished product off as well. I've only ever bought one Fender new - a HH 60s Classic MIJ JM with Cunifes last year - it was awesome. My old MIMs and CIJs are fine too. So something is clearly going wrong.

[@hollymartins6913]

Back in my day, $1400 would buy you an American Deluxe Telecaster/American Vintage Jazzmaster at your neighborhood mega-music store off of the rack and the quality control was balls. What has happened? Has Henry Juskiewicz taken over the helm at Fender, now?

[@batcatstudios]

Love this review. Was interested in this guitar. I can give a stamp of an approval for the Harmony Silhouette for anyone wanting an offset with gold foils and a Bigsby.

[@brianb5505]

It’s not just coincidence. I stopped by a local Guitar Center and all the pro2s had crap quality and even an ultra had the “F” on the fender logo warped. I should have taken a picture because it perfectly represents {ender’s quality.😢

[@MikeLoeser]

Great review and I feel the pain. I bought the Jazzmaster, also in gold, and got one that was set up well and without any major playability issues. I like the neck, bogs y is ok, pickups are weak and likely will replace. The paint on the headstock looks like it was applied as a decal and between the tuners on the headstock mine looks like it wasn’t laid flat and is warped. Almost like it was folded over. Insane that it made it through quality control but I’m happy enough that I won’t return. Just won’t be buying anything else direct from Fender.

What I do know is that the laid off a ton of workers which now puts the remaining staff under a ton of pressure to get product out.

[@snicker576]

Great vid! How..... how was that bridge pickup allowed to leave that factory? That's just pathetically sad, especially given the price. A hindred dollar guitar would still be expected to have all of the pickups working. Also, can't stand the fact that these are gold foils in COSMETICS ONLY. Not even single coils, let alone singke coils with the traditional gold foil magnets that give them their traditional, unique tone. Just stupid. They expect to just rake in all of the money they possibly can, customer happiness be damned.

Micky mouse ears.. Full on Frankenstein route job. Neck was swimming in the neck pocket. Im talking.. I could use the space between neck and body as a pick holder.. And i use Hella thick ass picks.... ---> Pre-made Went to Stew Mac... bought the Mexican replacement parts...prewired pick guard, body, Mexican replacement flamed maple neck. Custom fender locking tumors. Floyd Rose traditional 6 peg drop in replacement. Guitar is bad ass... Seriously.. I love it more then my ultra luxe. Shipped right to my house (in pieces).. $1400... Fully ready to assemble parts... Awesome quality. Super perfect body also Mexican. Great route job. Perfect neck body fit like a glove.

[@RByrne]

I've had a similar experience. A couple of years ago, I wanted to get one of those Fender FSR Telecaster, with the flame top and HH setup. I got one where the volume would only work when set at 3, even after cleaning, working it, etc. So, I exchanged it for another one. They gave me another, and as soon as I played it, it just made this harsh popping sound, and then you might hear a hint of the note. It was out of phase, had a cracked lead, wouldn't intonate, and had the worst frets. Also, the fretboard was dry and cracking at the nut. I gave up on it. I have had great luck with the Am Pro 2 and Ultra lines though.

[@SeanPierceJohnson]

Cool reviews guys/gals. No one seems to have noticed that the truss rod nut is buried & hidden underneath the pick guard & NOT up at the headstock per fenders description. You have to remove the neck to adjust neck relief which is essentially impossible. I do repair, setup And modding but I told one guy I woud have to charge $500 and it wasn't worth it on this guitar with the other $1000 upgrades and work it needed.

[@indigoblondes]

wtf are you repairing if a heel truss rod is impossible to adjust for less than 500?

[@Ironworthstriking]

You were going to charge $500 to remove a Fender neck and adjust the truss rod? Essentially impossible? Sounds like you need a new line of work.

[@Zytest]

Got mine direct from Fender Europe with no issues ...and it's a 9.5 radius not 12 inch !! Pick ups are really great and it stays in tune really well with 54-11 strings. My only small complaint could be about the neck binding and frets edges finishing...compared to my AVRI 65.

[@MashaT22]

Dylan Talks Tone also said they’re not legit gold foils and are simply meant to look like them. He explained why on his channel. So it’s just a marketing gimmick. I don’t know how they keep calling them that and you have to read the fine print to find out. Pretty crappy thing to do instead of just making them legit Gold Foils and actually doing something unique. I haven’t seen legit Gold Foils outside of vintage guitars. I bet the real deal would sell like crazy. Mini hums are a dime a dozen. Why would they just stick a decorative cover on top to try fooling the consumer? Cause countless people thought they were legit until reviewers took them apart upon delivery. Come on Fender. Even Gibson wouldn’t do something like that!

[@danielhoskins4690]

But it LOOKS so good! It’s so sad, because for years and years - over a decade Fender we’re smashing it, routinely improving QC and price points. Then the last few years?! Anyway, great review. I was almost ready to pull the trigger on this until you brought me back down to earth.
