I wonder if this means that anodized guards will be available through Fender now.

Re: J. Mascis signature JM
Uhm..it looks very very nice..but, at a first sight the neck radius looks flatter than standard JM or I'm the only one who see that?
Fender usually did that radius change when the stock guitar has a TOM..but I didn't agree with this

Re: J. Mascis signature JM
I don't know if it's really possible to tell from a picture, but it does kind of look flat. I would assume that it's probably a 12" radius to match the TOM. I just wish there were a few options color-wise. Unfortunately, I'm not too fond of purple sparkle.Superfuzz wrote: Uhm..it looks very very nice..but, at a first sight the neck radius looks flatter than standard JM or I'm the only one who see that?

I'm kind of disappointed that the first signature JM is oging to have a break-o-matic on it...

Why can't people set up their guitars properly instead of puttin TOMs on?

Re: J. Mascis signature JM
wowza!
kinda reminds me of the slacktone dudes custom shop jag...

one question... why a j mascis sig model and not a thurston? or a lee? surely they are surely a lot more famous and influential and,
well, have simply made more good music with their jazzmasters ...
hopefully that model will get some proper aged covers and knobs too, looks horrible with the bright white ones.

+1 on that.stereordinary wrote: I gotta confess, I love super sparkley finishes. All those JMs he's playing with the massive metal flakes are badass to me.
Then I'd have to get matching Z. Vex pedals, too.

Re: J. Mascis signature JM
No no no, it should be a Ranaldo Jazzblaster, a Moore Duo-sonic and an O'Rourke Jazzmaster with maple neck. Just look at the pwetty pictures:aen wrote: I htink thye should do a Lee Rinaldo tele Deluxe and a thurston Moore Jazzmaster. and an uh, JIm or Rourke mustang. it would come with a brown winter hat.
