I thought it was only for surf, punk, or players with extremely large pedalboards. I learned I was horribly wrong after spending time with Dan Strain's 1965 Jazzmaster. They are beautiful sounding instruments that have their own very identifiable sleek & sinewy sound. As a known Tele-Guy, I take a look at the Jazzmaster, and spotlight what I see as its strengths, and how I was quite uninformed when it came to my former opinion on them. As a bonus, I take a quick look at a 1967 Guild Starfire V that was modified with a Lollar Firebird pickup in the neck.Some great additional info on Jazzmasters:Guitar Moderne's (Michael Ross) excellent overview with helpful clipshttps://www.guitarmoderne.com/gear-2/...Five Watt World's short history   • The Fender Jazzma...  Gear for this video1965 Fender Jazzmaster with Mastery Bridge.
