I bought this thing used and it already had aftermarket saddles pre-installed. The JM and other Fender offset guitars are known for their tuning instability, but pop some proper saddles on and boom! You have a pretty damn good guitar. The Vintage Modified series was the predecessor to Squier's newer Classic Vibe series and is slightly inferior to the VM in my opinion.

The Vintage Modified Jazzmaster delivers chimey, crisp, and twangy tones from the Duncan Designed JM pickups stock from factory. You can pick one up for about $300-$500US and is a pretty good bang for your buck guitar. You get a high-quality build, amazing sounding pickups, great feeling playability, and just an all-around great guitar.

I'd recommend this guitar to almost anyone in the market for a Jazzmaster. If you don't mind buying a decent set of saddles and modding your bridge (which isn't even all that hard) then I see absolutely no reason why you shouldn't buy one for yourself. This one is one hell of a guitar. Squier makes amazing guitars and you shouldn't let their "cheap" reputation scare you away. Their guitars are low-budget, not low-quality.

8.5/10 would recommend
