The Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster SB Electric Guitar Sonic Blue combines authentic vintage styling with modern appointments including clean sounding Duncan Designed pickups and a modern fingerboard radius. The model retains the dual-circuit switching and controls and floating-vibrato bridge from the legendary Fender models. Featuring a maple neck with a vintage-tint gloss finish, this guitar is equipped with a 9.5” radius rosewood fingerboard adorned with 21 medium jumbo frets and parchment dot inlays.
The basswood body of this guitar contains a tortoise shell pickguard and is powered by Jazzmaster single-coil pickups with a circuit selector switch and pickup selector toggle switch. White Stratocaster-style control knobs (lead circuit) and black disc knobs (rhythm circuit) allow you to personalise your sound to your liking. A vintage-style bridge and non-locking floating vibrato with vintage-style tremolo arm ensure a clean intonation with the ability to add shimmering modulations without affecting your tuning adversely. Your tuning can be adjusted via stable vintage-style chrome tuners.

excellent value for money, great sounding guitar, set-up could be better and the pickguard cut around the pickups was a little rough ...it was new release from fender squire got it soon as it got available very fast shipping by musicstore = happy costumer
Muy buena relación calidad-precio, sorprende en acabados y tono. Mantiene bastante bien la afinación, y gracias a los controles de tono puedes alcanzar una variada gama de sonidos. Muy buena elección no solo para principiantes, sino también para usuarios más avanzados. El acabado del mástil es muy suave, los trastes cómodos, y el acabado de la guitarra está muy conseguido.
Beware!!
This guitar is not blue!
If you think youll receive a blue guitar you will be disappointed. It is actually green. The picture on the site does not show the true colour.
Some genius somewhere in Squier decided to make it look like a 50-year-old blue guitar that has yellowed varnish, and thus looks green.
Some people might prefer a green look to the blue (not me), but that misses the point. It is sold as blue.
Is it even legal to sell a green guitar under the title "sonic blue"?
This Squier Vintage Modified Jazzmaster (Candy Apple Red) is so much better than I expected it to be. Right out of the box I was delighted with the set up; the action was wonderfully low without any fret buzz or annoying bridge rattle. I was surprised because the bridge on these guitars (and Jaguars) can drive people mad with the aforementioned rattle, shallow string grooves and stupidly long intonation screws. (you can easily slip it out and replace it with a Mustang bridge or a Mastery bridge). Personally I can live with the bridge for now. The guitar’s intonation needed a bit of work but that’s to be expected and that’s where I had some problems with the long intonation screws touching the strings. Annoying.
The pickups are quite bright and for me they sound better with the volume rolled back a notch. The rhythm circuit is my favourite of the sound options, quite a rich and full jazzy sound. Not too pushed on the bridge pickup, sounds a bit too bright for my taste but the middle pickup setting sounds great. The Jazzmaster can sound quite jangly which I like a lot but it also handles rougher distorted sounds very well. The finish is excellent, frets are all very well filed and finished with no sharp edges, paintwork is flawless. Colour wise, it’s a great shade of red, although in certain lights the colour can look slightly orangey but then in other lights it’s very obviously red?? Either way, I like the colour a lot.
The tuners are perfectly okay, they’re neither amazing nor terrible, and they do the job just fine. I can’t offer an opinion on the tremolo as I didn’t put in on as I’m not much for tremolo playing. I like the neck on this guitar a lot, it’s a nice slim C shape and I have nothing negative to say about it or the fingerboard. Overall, I’d highly recommend this guitar. It’s already become my sitting around the house guitar, putting my old telecaster into early retirement.
