Re: Fender Gold Foil Jazzmaster 2023
not sure why, but I've always had an unreasoning hatred for sunburst Jazzmasters, but think the color works on Jaguars. Maybe all the extra chrome on the Jaguar, I dunno. I like the Shoreline Gold version of this and even if they are mini hums instead, it's a different look. A lot of other things I would buy before this, but overall it's cool. Worst case, replace the fake gold foils w/real ones.

Re: Fender Gold Foil Jazzmaster 2023
FYI I have a shorline gold one and it might be my favorite guitar. You can get a lot of cool sound options with the three pickups and combinations. I don't even mind the bigsby, although I don't use tremolos often. I think it looks familiar enough that it is comfortable, but different enough to be cool and interesting. I don't know for sure what pickups are actually in them, but I liked them as is and don't feel a need to change them. I think I just put a mastery on mine, but that was just because why not? LOL No QC issues I found with mine. The neck is fantastic.

Man, Squier and Fender have gotten straight up freaky in recent years.
I kind of dig it.

I had my eyes on these since they came out and I picked one up after reading your review. I completely agree, these guitars are total winners. The pickups are actually great and the neck is a bit thin, but extremely playable. The bigsby is a nice change of pace for the occasional flutter. No QC issues at all, which is a nice change from the last couple Fenders I purchased.HNB wrote: ↑Wed Mar 13, 2024 8:14 amFYI I have a shorline gold one and it might be my favorite guitar.
