Worthy upgrades for a Lefty Squier Classic Vibe Jazzmaster

Geefive Joined: Oct 16, 2017 Posts: 14 Paris, Ontario	Posted on Jun 14 2024 08:55 AM Hi all. I picked up a used Lefty CV Jazzy a couple years ago. It had Kinman Jazzmasters (Thickmasters) already installed by previous owner, and i really like the pickups, as I play many different genres and they seem to be a happy medium between all. It has become my favorite guitar to play out of my geets. I am happy with it as is, but wondering if there were upgrades that I'm overlooking that would make it even more outstanding as long as they are what you would consider monetarily worthwhile on a guitar at this level. Thanks for any info in advance! Cheers. Top

Sure, don’t fix what is not broken but keep in mind that Staytrem does it in squire size and it feels sooo smooth now. — Waikiki Makaki surf-rock band from Ukraine https://linktr.ee/waikikimakaki Lost Diver https://lostdiver.bandcamp.com https://soundcloud.com/vitaly-yakushin Top
