Great.

One of the best loopers ever. The 32 bit sound quality sold me, but all the features and drum patterns are an instant win.

Amazing.

The big difference is the anodized pickguard which for me has made a huge difference in keeping the noise floor on this guitar insanely low. Overall this is my favorite guitar and I wish this were a regular production run.

I didn't know fender had finally made a new, inexpensive Jazzmaster in my favorite color combo. Thank you for putting this on my radar.

Ride Sally, Ride!

Great short scale bass...I love the sound of it and the neck is amazing! can't really say anything else.

Great.

Great beginner or practice amp! Super simple to use and sounds great for anyone at any level. More features than a lot of competitors around the same price point, Fender knocked it out of the park.

Awesome.

This is pretty much an FSR classic vibe jazzmaster. Amazing guitar, the new fender designed pickups are more in line with a tradition jazzmaster and the mustang bridge is an added benefit to stop buzzing. The biggest take away is the finish. It looks amazing in daphne blue and you should definitely snag one up if you can.

Pro Tone is no joke!

These guitars are pretty rare nowadays. But they are definitely worth the hype. Originally produced from 96' to 98' word on the street is these started bitting into the sales of the MIM and MIA fenders from around that era...so they discontinued them.

It terms of sound, this is by far the best Squier Telecaster I've ever played. The pickups are Alnico 3. (I think). It's a fatter sounding Tele that's definitely a blues guitar. but it can cover really anything.

In terms of looks, It's definitely a lot nice stock than the CV series. The Ash body and wood grain are killer! The binding looks amazing and the gold hardware really adds to the overall look of this guitar! It's definitely a looker.

After looking for one for the past decade, I'm so glad I stumbled upon this and I couldn't pass it up. It's easily become my number one Tele!

Electrifying

Got a really good deal on one of these and I could pass it up. It sounds amazing and the grand piano sound has been vastly improved from the Electro 2. Overall a great keyboard.

The Tone Master!

If you're looking for a light weight alternative to a TRRI then this is going to be your amp! This thing sounds amazing and it has a built in DI, Pine cabinet, IR cabinet sim, a built in attenuator, and it's only 33 lbs! Would easily recommend this amp for any gigging/touring musician!

Classic Jazzmaster Sound that won't break your wallet.

Squier has been pretty consistent with the Classic Vibe line up. This is essentially a upgraded Vintage Modified with better Spec's and as such it kind of occupies that space more so than the CV of yesteryear. I will that Fender definitely upgraded the Pickups and they sound better the former VM stock pickups. The neck feels comfy and has that typical Squier thinness. Overall, its a good buy...Is it better than the J Mascis for $50 more? In short, if you're more interested in a "Vintage correct" Jazzmaster than yes!

This is by far the best guitar to come out of the Classic Vibe line up!

After owning 2 different Modern Player Starcaster I decided to give this Squier a try. I mean, Squier has been hitting it out of the park with the Classic Vibe line up and this is no exception. While some were less than enthused about the early 2019 additions to the CV Series. I can say without a doubt that this is the best sounding Squier you can currently buy. The pickups are nice and actually sound pretty decent. They're bright, but super bright. The neck feels like butter and the walnut finish is the most gorgeous out of all the Starcasters that fenders put out since 2013. (a total of 5 finishes) Overall this guitar is amazing and I think it will give Epiphone a good run for its money.

This Freeze will give you chills...bad pun intended.

I’ve had this pedal for sometime and I love it, it’s pretty useful in creating ambient drones and textures. This pedal is pretty straight forward and fun to use,

Post Rock In A Box!

If you’re a fan of super ambient/textured bands like Sigur Rós, Slowdive, Daughter, This Will Destroy You, Explosions In The Sky, etc. this pedal is for you! It’s literally “post rock in a box” and is really geared towards anyone looking to add an a ambient reverb. It’s easy to use and sounds amazing! Just check out the YouTube demos and you won’t be disappointed.

The classic vibe jaguar is a classic!

A definite improvement over the Vintage Modified series, this guitar is beautiful in person and it sounds really nice. I was really skeptical of the “fender designed” pickups because I was not a fan of the recent Yosemite or V-mod pickups Jazzmaster pickups. But, I’ve been pleasantly surprised so far! The neck feels awesome, i don’t mind narrow/tall frets so I like the neck. Overall, great guitar that I would easily recommend to anyone.

The Original VMJM.

Honestly, I prefer this take version of the VMJM over it's post-2013 incarnation. It's pretty simple to use and sounds amazing! The big difference is with this version is Fender decided to use Alder as opposed to Basswood so tonally it's a bit different. The neck is maple and I actually prefer the shape of this maple over it's American Professional counterpart. The butterscotch version has held its value in terms of its price and I think if you're a fan of the Jazzmaster and looking for something affordable and cool. This is your guy. Obviously this isn't your vintage JM...(it's missing the rhythm circuit and vibrato assembly) but it's not trying to be.

jasontmays

Cool.

Although this is highly outdated this interface is still pretty solid if you're using a FireWire enabled computer. Coming from an Apogee Duet (Firewire) to this was pretty awesome. Definitely still a great interface despite being severely outdated.

jasontmays

Awesome sauce!

Coming from logic X this daw is pretty awesome, I opened it up and figured out a few things and I was on my way to recording a brand new song idea. It's ease of use is it's biggest selling point. If you're just starting to learn recording (or you're a seasoned vet) this would be the daw i recommend!

Version: PreSonus Studio One 4

2nd Mascis.

I originally bought the Mascis when it was first released. I sold it a few years later. Fast forward to 2018 and I’m now buying my 2nd Mascis. This guitar is pretty awesome, the originally owner slapped a tort pickguard on it and I’ve definitely gotta say I prefer the tort over the gold. The stock pickups aren’t bad, per say...but they definitely don’t sound like a vintage Jazzmaster and sound way more like P90s. So if that’s what you’re going for I’m sure you’ll love this guitar. The neck is amazing and I can’t praise it enough. I plan on completely modding this guitar by changing the pickups, possibly the wiring and adding a fender vibrato assembly. So I’ll further update this review when I’m done modding...but so far this guitar isn’t bad.

jasontmays

Pretty good

While I’m not entirely sure what year it is...this acoustic sounds amazing. I can’t wait to record with it.

Pure Kaoss

I've used this little guy quite a bit and it's one of the most unique synths I've come across. It's also pretty cool to have in your arsenal. I love it and would recommend it whole heartedly.

jasontmays

Just a phase.

I got this item in a trade. I only got it because I'm a huge Mike Einziger fan and I know it's pretty essential to his sound. But It's a cool phaser. I don't really use phasers and I just have it, just to have it.
