Two faux-Jazzmasters

[exalted]

Since Fender, in their infinite wisdom, doesn't like making left-handed Jazzmasters, I present:




On the left: Silver Warmoth Jazzmaster. Alder body, maple/rosewood neck. SD JB 59 in the bridge, SD Jazz in the neck, vintage-style Fender hardtail.

On the right: Schecter Hellcat, circa 2004. Alder body, maple/rosewood neck. 3x Minibuckers, and a TOM bridge.

I'm thinking about getting a wenge/ebony 24.75" conversion neck for the Schecter, and adding a bright-green pickguard. Time will tell on that.

Fender Japan make lefty Jazzmasters. There are a few on Ebay at the moment.

That's true. I thought about getting a CIJ JM for a long time. Unfortunately, in the end, I just couldn't justify it to myself. There isn't much info on that particular build (at least in English) - I know on some of the reissues, Fender has changed the pickups and other specs substantially...but I wasn't sure if the same went for Fender Japan, too.

Oh well. Maybe someday.

Ah, well okay, then. If I'm ever in the market again, I'll be sure to give them strong consideration!
