MLC It's not just good.. ...it's good enough.	Nov 22nd, 2016 07:02 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Spec sheets I saw posted on another forum stated that fret board options included both maple and rosewood. The JM might be an interesting partner for my Thinskin JM. No info on pricing anywhere I've seen.

Joe Potts Contributing Member ********** *** Western Pa. I'm an old guitar hassler	Nov 22nd, 2016 01:27 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic From another forum, the street price is $1499. And rosewood neck on an Olympic white or 3TS Jazzmaster, but only on a white Jag. No mystic seafoam on the Jag, either.
Joe Potts Contributing Member ********** *** Western Pa. I'm an old guitar hassler	Dec 3rd, 2016 09:47 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I was at a local dealer yesterday, who said the Fender rep had brought a few Pro series to show him. He took some pics - a Jazzmaster in Mystic Seafoam, and a Jag in Sonic Grey. His pics looked better than the Fender ones I've seen so far. He said both finishes looked much better in person. The grey is kind of a bluish-grey. He ordered some, which should be in, I believe, in a few weeks.

surfdog Lakeside, CA Jim	Dec 8th, 2016 02:01 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic On the Jaguar, looks like some of the modifications were transferred from the Johnny Marr model. The four position pickup selector, neck shape, Mustang saddles. The Johnny Marr retained the strangle switch as well the new one shown. The treble bleed looks like a good feature as well as the adjustable trem bar. The Johnny Marr uses shims to stablize the trem bar and the bridge. Narrow tall frets are good for staying in tune vs wide frets. Looks like an excellent guitar on paper.
windmill Contributing Member ********** *** Australia older,better	Dec 10th, 2016 06:45 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Fender Demo of the Professional JM and Jags Alert! Close ups of the neck indicate the high E string is extremely close to the edge of the fretboard above the 12th fret due to a mismatch of spacing of the bridge. This is has been a problem with the Johnny Marr Jags If anyone can confirm or deny this by trying one in real life please let us know. Thanks :) Fender official demo (This message was last edited by windmill at 08:46 PM, Dec 10th, 2016)
Joe Potts Contributing Member ********** **** Western Pa. I'm an old guitar hassler	Dec 16th, 2016 04:33 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic I saw a Pro JM in seafoam at the local Fender dealer (didn't have time to test drive it). I have also read on another forum about the E string concern. Looking at the neck, I saw no issue at all, the entire length of the fingerboard. Plenty of room, for both E strings. I really liked the look of it. He also has a Jag in Sonic Gray due in a few weeks.

windmill Contributing Member ********** ***** Australia older,better	Jan 7th, 2017 06:29 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Another review of the Pro series at the link below. Generally positive but it does mention the E strings close to the edge issue. MMGuitarbar Pro JM& Jag review
RMosack USA Go Buckeyes!	Jan 25th, 2017 01:44 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic The classic circuitry was a huge part of what made the Jag and JM both so special and unique. These new ones? Meh.
back breaker eureka, usa Kid! STOP! you're rockin' the forest!	Jan 29th, 2017 11:01 AM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Concur about the circuitry but the I also like to see them in an updated version. I prefer my 62 thin skin (which as a handful of updated features as well). It's good to see so many Jags and JM's out there at the moment.
windmill Contributing Member ********** ***** Australia older,better	Aug 12th, 2017 06:02 PM   Edit   Profile   Print Topic   Search Topic Finally saw these in the flesh and had a chance to play them unplugged. The fit and finsih seemed good The necks eemd a bit thicker than on my AVRI jag. The Mystic Seafoam looks fantastic. The other finishes seem dull in comparison.
