Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster discontinued?

What's Hot
Dinosaur Jr were on Adult Swim a couple of days ago and J Mascis mentioned that his signature Jazzmaster is no longer being manufactured. I've had mine for several years and it's a lovely guitar. Get one while you can!

  • well that sucks.

    funnilly enough (or not) i am thinking about saving towards a new guitar or bass and have always wanted a j mascis guitar. looks like the j it will be then.

    it would be a shame if they stopped making them.

    I've got one with some really nice upgrades. Seymour Duncan's, gotoh locking tuners, fender trem, switchcraft switch and jack. 

    It's a great guitar. I suspect that if they are discontinuing them it's because they are too good for the price!

    It's because they've sold all of these they can and the kids now don't know who J Mascis is.

  • i will be ordering a j mascis this thursday (they seem to be sold out atm,waiting until the end of dec for next delivery).

    fine by me though as i won't have the funds for it until end dec (£450 at my localish guitar shop which is a fair price i have to say).

    Not necessarily.

    What you will need to work at is finding the right combination of amplification and overdrive/distortion to get the best out of that guitar. Then, there may be set-up tweaks required to get the best out of the vibrato system.
    Be seeing you.

  • have just come back from swindon after laying down a deposit on a j masic guitar.

    actually ended up going to kempster & sons as they had one in stock.

    was undecided between the j mascis or a cv 70's jazz bass in natural (i had contacted them previously to ask if they had either in stock,they did).

    in the end the j mascis won out (i have just recently bought my first bass an affinity jazz). was thinking trading it towards the cv jazz,but after trying both i had decided on the guitar.

    it was lovely to play and hadsome great sounds (played badly tbrough a katana amp i think it was).

    anyhoo a deposit was paid and hopefully i will pay the rest off by 19th dec (crimbo comes early for me lol).

    cannot bloody wait :-)

  • well my friends i have finally got a j mascis guitar (just got back from swindon about an hour ago).

    i have to say am loving it (awful playing not withstanding lol).

    i ended up selling my ps4 and external hdd to get the funrs but man was it worth it.

    i only have a rumble 15 bass amp and zoom b1on bass multi fx pedal atm but it does sound great through them actually (i do plan on buying a guitar amp and fx one day for it when funds allow).

    i can definitely understand why they are highly rated guitars by some people.

    chuffed to bits with it

  • Glad you're enjoying it!
    I passed up a fender purple sparkle J Masic when they first came out and I've regretted it ever since.
    Anyone seen the utterly wrecked Squier J Mascis for sale on ebay? I was actually a little tempted to get it and rewire just for the feel of the neck and the pickups alone ...

    Holy crap, that has been abused! It looks like the finish has been taken off with a heat gun in places.
