Guitars used by Mami Sasazaki on HELLO WORLD

Solid Body Electric Guitars

Squier Jazzmaster Mami Sasazaki Signature

The guitar has three pickups with a humbucker at the bridge position (the neck and middle pickups are single coil), and the tone is neither that of a Strat nor a Jazzmaster. Therefore, at the bridge position the tone has a decent low end to it. This results in a distorted tone that is somewhat perfect for those high intensity rocking tunes. When played clean, the ‘painful’ trebly tones are also suppressed! -MAMI

MAMI's signature Jazzmaster, first introduced in the PV for Playboy in 2012, is also known as the 'Stratomaster', and it boasts an Adjust-o-matic bridge unlike a regular Jazzmaster. This sig JM also has a Seymour Duncan Hot Rails humbucking pup at the bridge position.

Her signature JM had been released for sale in three runs from 2014-6. The one sold is slightly different from MAMI's actual guitar as it uses a regular JM bridge, and has a Duncan Designed Hot Rails humbucker at the bridge position. A few players had complained of the QC on these models, and had to resort to getting the guitar professionally set up at their own expense.

MAMI was last seen using this guitar during the HELLO WORLD Hall Tour in Japan back in 2014.
