J Mascis Jazzmaster

Squier honors alt-rock godfather and Dinosaur Jr. leader J Mascis with a striking Jazzmaster guitar model that delivers as much massive sound and performance as its namesake. The pickups, hardware, and finish are all specified by Mascis himself for tremendous tone and value.

The J Mascis Jazzmaster features a basswood body, C-shaped maple neck, Indian laurel fingerboard with 9.5" radius and 21 jumbo frets, two single-coil Jazzmaster pickups with three-position switching and dual tone circuits, gold anodized aluminum pickguard, aged white plastic parts, Adjusto-Matic bridge with vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece, vintage-style tuners, chrome hardware, Vintage White finish, and J Mascis signature on the back of the large '60s-style headstock.
