JM JM or AVRI JM

Post by BenHagerty » Tue Jul 10, 2007 12:51 pm

Tough choice, the only reason why I would want the J Mascis JM is because it is cheaper and I don't feel like paying an extra 600 dollars because I need to buy a new computer. On the other hand I would kind of feel like a tool playing it but idk what should I do?

if you would feel like a tool (as most people would) just refinish it or something.
still havent thought of a signature

Refinish a brand new guitar that isn't particularly a killer deal to begin with?  I'm assuming everything but the pickups is Japanese.  It's close to $900.  I got a brand new AVRI Jag for $1100.  Not a real hard decision.  If you don't want the Barney the Dinosaur of Guitars with a gold grill...  Pass!

Definitely pass if you aren't completely in love with the guitar.


Save for the AVRI

I am a 100% supporter of AVRI's!

I have 2...best guitars I've ever owned. I know I say that a lot but I've never been so satisfied with a set of guitars since I started playing 13 years ago, an I have owned many since then.

AVRI. Or just get a japanese made one if price is really an issue.

I do NOT support those J Mascis Jazzmasters one bit. :)

Or, you know, buy a different color to begin with.

The AVRI would be my choice.  I own CIJ guitars, too.  The AVRI just feels better to me.  When I pick up my AVRI, I know it's the one. ;)

I think I am going with a AVRI, Another tough choice, Color, I really like Sun Burst, but my dream guitar is a vintage sun burst and I might get it for a graduation present in 2 years then I would have two sun bursts. so idk, I might get white or sun burst (not black, idk i don't like it much unless it is stickered up) any other suggestions?

Go AVRI, for sure.

I've had one for the past year and a half and it's a great guitar.

Oh yeah, check out Ocean Turquoise, it's a lovely colour.

Definitely don't get the JMJM if you'd feel like a tool playing one. If you don't want to pay for an AVRI buy a new CIJ from Ishibashi or something.
