JMJM necks -- are they all good?

Post by Dorcus_Maximus » Mon Nov 13, 2017 11:11 am

I recently got a JMJM and I really like the neck. I'm thinking of getting another JMJM neck to use in a project. Are they all consistently good / the same? Guessing that it is at least possible they are given modern CNC technology but I don't really know.

I had two simultaneously and both were great and felt consistent with each other.

Yes, all the same, all great feeling. I just hope they have at least semi-decent truss rods inside. I haven't had the need to adjust mine yet.

I liked so much the neck on my Mascis that when I had to chose a replacement neck for my Ranaldo JM went for one of these. Never looked back.

That neck was one of the main reasons for me to get a JMJM. The only thing I noticed is that, as with all Squiers, wood selection varies a bit and you sometimes get knotholes in places where it affects the optics. Fender USA would sort those out, I guess. But it doesn't affect the feeling of the neck.

i've owned 2. necks felt the same (great).
If I was a byrd, I'd be mighty sore every time they shut the door and I don't think I'd sing...

Wow, I guess I failed to turn on notifications! Thanks for the resounding affirmation of their greatness. I'm getting another one!
