Hmm, I actually prefer this to the Jazz Strat. Firstly, it's an offset (major bonus). Secondly, it probably sounds like a Strat (also good). Crucially, it gets the awful Strat volume knob out of the way, and the removal of that angled Strat plug receptacle thingy is another bonus. If this sucker had a JM vibrato, it would be getting close to being my ideal surf guitar.

So...got this in a trade for my Fender AV '52 Roasted Ash Tele. Totally worth it! I can't stop playing this beauty.

Funny enough, I've had 2 Fender AV '65 Jazzmasters and I always felt the pickups were a bit too mid-rangey/harsh. The Pure Vintage '65 JM pickups on the Jazz Strat sound outstanding.

It's different, it's cool looking, it's sure to annoy purists - what's not to like?!? Big Grin

Oh, in case anyone asks - yup, I got the spiffy surf green hardshell Fender case that comes with it.

It has a great mid to late ‘60s vibe to it. Very cool.
