https://www.andertons.co.uk/fender-limited-edition-player-jazzmaster-black-matching-headstockI like this Black one, not keen on the Green Olive one though.
Only slight niggle is the 4 way switch and lack of rhythm circuit, but everything else looks cock on and you can't tell the nasty plastic plug is there due to the Painted Headstock (which I quite like). Proper J.M Pick Ups as well, unlike the regular Player ones.
I'd have to Oil the board as well to try make it slightly darker.
I have an urge to spend, Uh-Oh!
Only a Fool Would Say That.

Never liked the regular Player Jazzmaster - the splitting humbucker just doesn’t work for me (nor in the Jaguar).
But with those pickups, four way switch and headstock, they may have something. Although I do remember the version I tried a couple of years back was quite heavy…

But it's I guess a 550 ish guitar with better pickups
Had an olive green mustang recently, which looked fantastic in the flesh, just not for me playability wise.
Wish they'd use rosewood again though.
No idea why you'd get a lower quality instrument so you could have the neck pickup routed through a volume pot with far too big a range and tone pot that goes from extremely dark to unusable. Willing to be proven wrong though. There's a good chance this player model is already routed for it anyway and just needs a new pickguard.
I used it as a preset for an ebow the couple of times I used one at a gig. Have disabled it on my JM now though. Anyone else have a use case?
I like the rhythm circuit when used with an octave fuzz. Quick flip of the switch to the rhythm setting and with the tone rolled off and volume back a bit the octaves really start jumping out.
You never know, in another 10 years they might finally address that bridge too
I have to say it though, that blade switch sucks balls
