Jazzmaster comparison - Which Fender Jazzmaster is right for you?

[@fender]

Awesome vid! 🤘

[@elijackson6987]

How would you feel about sending me a free guitar ;)

What he said

[@jakobv27]

What they said

[@batman40528]

hey leo

[@sanduendo]

no its not. i couldnt hear the guitar tones. just the pedals. 30 seconds each guitar. bad vid

[@MarkJohnson-lo1vu]

Nice idea to compare the various models but perhaps don’t add different effects to each one so you can’t really compare the sounds on alike for like basis.

[@3rdStoreyChemist]

That’d actually require adjusting amp settings to compensate for the varying output from pickups as that impacts the tone. So literally all demos comparing guitars are pointless.

[@valkyriandreams]

My fucking exact thought....

[@sanduendo]

dude if we dont hear the clean tones we really cant compare them

[@mwbroughton]

Thank you for the breakdown. For someone who is not immersed in jazzmaster lore, this has certainly wet my whistle to learn more.

[@simonsmith2642]

Split coil… How exactly do you think they are splitting single coils? Are you sure thats not series/parallel?

[@gavinfoote_Music_Surf]

I really want a Jazzmaster. If I ever get one, I'm debating between the Vintera or the American Professional II. I want to go for a really good surf tone.

[@swagedelic]

Get the Vintera, It's a great guitar, I get the sounds and feel of old vintage Jazzmasters.

[@Florida_Boi_321]

I too want surf tones. I had the Vintera and the Troy L. Jazzmaster, and returned them both. They just didn’t have IT. I’m now looking for an AM Pro II.

[@timoti2]

woulda been nice to include the squires - esp wihen the Mascis (being reissued soon?) is so good. perhapps another vid to cover that,. Also a quick continus comparision with the same musical part between the pickups would have bene helpful

[@DirtyDirkDiggler]

The J Mascis JM’s are one of the most overrated guitars in recent times I can think of. Pure hype. Those things just don’t play well no matter how many upgrades you do but then again, you get what you pay for.

[@MaximeSalmon001]

The best for me is the Vintera II model , best value than American model. After that , TVL signature look very good cause it's already upgrade

[@jameswestervelt6808]

I ended up making a partsmaster. I like the American pro neck but prefer vintage style pickups etc

[@mike42356]

Would have been great to include the Player Series HH one in the shootout!

[@mcgruffallo]

Throw those pedals away so we can clearly hear the different guitar tones (clean).

[@jameshogg633]

does anyone know what he’s using for the american pro 2 demo (effects wise)

[@persic3287]

Definitely some Tremelo pedal

[@benjaminbamnolkar7015]

Great showcase of the JM lineup! I’ve been considering buying the Troy Signature but have heard that the spring in the trem-system on JMs generally doesn’t function smoothly with heavier gauge strings - 10s or 11s, and usually needs a real good setup. Fender ships out all JMs from the Troy signature to the American Pro II, with a 9-gauge set. Are Jazzmasters built to perform best only with 9’s on them? Does the trem-system on the Copper Age JM have difficulty with heavier gauges or does it work smoothly? Do heavier gauges make them go off tune? Would love some clarity! Thank you!

[@NiggaInTech]

Thats the biggest myth abouth them,their literally MEANT for higher gauge strings. Fender ships them all wrong. Every common problem with Jazzmasters is fixed by slapping some 12s on that bitch.

[@DelScully]

not true at all man. The new AM II's have the new trem system that is the one that doesn't do well with strings above 9's but the the AVRI systems like on the TVL are perfectly fine. It's just the new spring they used in the new Trem systems that suck, hopefully they will mend it soon.

[@NiggaInTech]

@@DelScully Yeah my mistake i meant for JMs that stick to the classic 50's 60s models

[@etopotolok9943]

Thnx!!!) but where is American Original series?) AVRI?)

[@TheGlutenFreemason]

Glossy maple fretboards are a crime!

[@joebeamish]

This helps somewhat. What about Squire models like the J Mascis? How is it different?

[@MJ-zr2jz]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!!!!!!

[@gerrielubbe3968]

What happened at around 2:32 - bummer, otherwise an okay demo.

[@jugglerj0e]

The Noventa looks Awesome!!!

[@daveshamir729]

Great video, but why skip over the American Performer model?

[@JayEdom]

That Troy one is my fave but i own the noventea it’s the best mim jazzmaster imo

[@markmccafferty6515]

Excellent video

[@MrWeedy1600]

Great vid! Deffo want a Jazzmaster now, thanks Tom from Gear4music, very cool

[@MrBluesilverred]

My opinion, I thought the Vintera series sounded the best

[@senyark2151]

There are only 7 comments and one of the is fender?

[@HappyChillmore]

Lol

[@Jma952]

Because they paid him to make this video?

[@gavinfoote_Music_Surf]

@@Jma952 maybe

[@jordiclaes5031]

says you dont have to like an artist to play with their guitar.... proceeds to play the troy van leeuwen signature so distorted that people think you can only get a qotsa sound out of it

[@deathmetallongsleeve]

honestly im good with the j mascis lol

[@BillyRubin81]

Out of respect for Rock and Roll I cannot give this video the 667th like.

[@DJ-pp9yg]

What about tuning stability. Are they equivalent bridge/trem?

[@hoover728]

The Am Pro and Troy Van Leeuwen have Mustang bridges which are more stable with better sustain

[@sgriffin588]

What pedals are you using for the TVL portion of the demo? That distortion is wicked!

[@gear4musicguitars]

Hey. It's great isn't it. This is the pedal being used in the video - www.gear4music.com/Guitar-and-Bass/Gamechanger-Audio-Third-Man-Records-Plasma-Coil/3IW9

[@sgriffin588]

@@gear4musicguitars Thanks! Much appreciated

[@littleclay5875]

the Noventa sounds the best to me

[@johnconiglio9278]

How about a jazzmaster for metal players that don't want to break the bank? I'd love one with humbucker pickups!

[@gear4musicguitars]

Take a look at the Squier Contemporary Jazzmaster, that might be what you're looking for!

[@sathira_anuk5179]

Jazzmaster for metal?

[@johnconiglio9278]

Yeah wish they would sell one similar to Root's model but humbuckers. Not a big fan of artist signature guitars. Overpriced because it's endorsed by somebody.

[@sathira_anuk5179]

@@johnconiglio9278 oh , you can get a pretty cheap one (like Sqier cv series , you can get one like 300$ used , I recommend 40th anniversary one ) put2 PAFs or wide range humbuckers and change pots to 500k you can do all of that around 500$

[@MrDaigoRiki]

Jazzmasters eat lotta money, first off, a mastery bridge, most of time you don’t like the pickups. 500$ extra.

[@rabbla3569]

Fiesta red = orange...

[@midnightwind8067]

Why does a guitar, designed to replace the warm big jazz box, sound like a tin can microphone? Honestly, presenters should leave their tonal preferences at home when showing what a guitar can do. This guitar cannot be that limited as this demo would suggest.

All those guitars sounded same. No tone different.

Sadly very little honest review and mostly sales pitch…

he never plays the same licks with the same effects . . . very deceitful impossible to compare
