GAS...

[thejay]

Ever since the Midtown with P90s came out I have wanted one but I also find myself GASing for a 62 Fender Jazzmaster... So much I am thinking of selling my Non-Reverse Firebird (2011 - vintage sunburst and actually rosewood not baked maple like they are now). Any thoughts out there?

You certainly wouldn't be disappointed with the '62 Jazzmaster as it is a wonderful guitar and that "surf tone" really grows on you pretty quickly.The Jaguar is also a great sounding guitar and has a more bell-like tone to its overall sound.The Jag also has more tonal variations available due to the extra controls which give it a much broader range.The thing that a lot of people don't like about the Jag is the short-scale neck but I have a '65 Jag and I find that it allows for faster left hand speed due to the shorter neck and having the frets closer together.

I have always loved the design of the Jazzmaster it just never really came hi enough on my list until now... thanks for the input!

How did you like the non reverse firebird?

I was contemplating about getting one to compliment

my Firebird V.

I still have it, haven't sold it, if I do. It's a great guitar, lots of tonal options and plays great. I tend to favor my other guitars for the type of music I have been playing lately and not sure if it's a case of GAS or not. Midtown and Jazzmasters are similarly but not the same.
