Fender Japan Modern Series

[timiscott]

Fender Japan have just launched these - not my thing, but someone will like it! It's a black, kind of aerodyne Jazzmaster HH. I can't post images with my lousy ICT skills, so the The ishibashi link is -

Quite weird as the grey and white versions look a lot like the Squier Modern Jms writ large.

i like that weird ice blue/grey colour but man, PAF-types with no rings is v v v ugly

You're right - those pickups really do need a ring!

[vistavision]

They re-invented the Charvel Skatecaster.

I feel like this popped up on the forum a little while ago. They're basically MIJ Jim Root Jazzmasters, another take on, "how much like a Gibson can we make a Jazzmaster?"

And yes, PAFs need rings, like how strat pickups look insane without a guard or rings.

I actually prefer these as they are, ie without pickup rings.

[BearBoy]

Me too. Suits the minimalist aesthetic.

[SAVEStheDAY]

They'd be more attractive to me if they weren't so expensive.

[smallerthings]

Reminds me of Jim Root's Jazzmasters.

I agree, as I belong to the Cult Of Those Who Think Pickups Need To Be Screwed Right Into The Body, or COTWTPNTBSRITB.

[loveinathens]
