The short scale makes longer stretches easier. It´s also great for crosspicking, rhythm guitar and jangly stuff like John Mcgeoch´s playing in Siouxie and the Banshees or Johnny Marr.

David Gilmour, Andy Timmons, John Frusciante, Eric Johnson, Dave Simpson ......
Yeah .... They sound extremely boring. xD
BTW that mahogany chambered jazzmaster looks stunning, hope it sounds stunning as well.

I've always liked this performance: Thor Madsen playing a Metheny-type blues on a JM:

I like to trashtalk statements like that. XD
It's nothing personal, just that statement is extremely stupid.
So next time, chose your words more wisely ... XD

Love the Jazzcaster Tele/ Jazzmaster mashups. Wonderful idea of blending both into a very practical comfortable guitar. Don Grosh had tbis idea in variations called Electra Jets I believe, fantastic guitars!
Trick for me is getting a light enough weight that doesn't hurt my left shoulder. I'm kind of in a dilemma building an Alder solid body Tele at the moment. The body I finished, is 4 lb 8 ounces, which you would think would be light? Turns out to be closer to high 7lb range and with a strap a bit over 8lbs.
I'm trying to avoid semi hollow since I have that already with a G&L Asat Super already. Might have to go chambered body from Warmoth.

Have one of these on pre-order. MIJ, U shape neck, 25.5" scale, P90, and I almost always play seated so have high hopes. Always kinda sorta liked the Jazzmaster look but never wanted that odd tremolo set up. That and I'm a sucker for limba which makes it a bit less ubiquitous. Another month of waiting.

P.ayed a similar min model w a std Tele Bridge mahogany body. Heavy as all neck but loved the fat neck! Hopefully this will weigh less!

Danny W. is right...the Jazzmaster has always had a 25-1/2" scale. It's the Jaguar that has the short scale.

Can't bring myself to spend $2K on one, though.
Last fall, while traveling through the Hudson Valley, I stopped in a store that had a vintage Jazzmaster- i plugged into a vintage Twin Reverb....now THAT was tone. I don't usually care about that stuff, but i was impressed.

Mine has arrived. A made in Japan (MIJ) offset telecaster in korina (white limba) with a pair of P90's. Lots of pictures online so I'll spare you my questionable photographic skills. Regardless of marketing, this is a Jazzmaster, not a Tele. And actually a quite nice one. A few initial observations:
- The U neck is great for those who don't care for skinny necks. I prefer a 43mm width vs. the 42mm but the U shape and 10" radius helps with the feel. A neck I can live with.
- The Fender P90's sound pretty good
- Wish I could mix the front and back rather than just selecting front/both/back. Often like the neck pickup with just a little bridge mixed in. Could rewire it. Can always roll off the treble downstream.
- Comfortable shape sitting or standing. Very high cutaway.
- Workmanship was flawless as far as I can tell. Looked it over pretty close. Couldn't find a single thing.
- Lowered the action. Might take the nut down a little. Frets are quite good.
- Nut sluts are wide for a guitar that comes with light strings. Put Tomastik Infield .012 rounds with a plain G on as a starting point. Nut seems like it was already cut for a larger gauge.
- High quality gig bags (Mono, Fusion) are generally too short on the inside for the Jazzmaster. Ended up ordering a rotomolded Fender Jazzmaster case. Added $200 to the transaction but the OEM bag is suitable for shipping in a well padded box only. Not sure what other cases might fit. Something to consider as part of the purchase.
- It's on the heavy side but OK with a wider strap. About like a PRS. 8.8lbs according to my not-very-accurate luggage scale. Contributes to the solid feel and tone I think. Glad I don't have to stand for a 3 or 4 hour gig with any weight guitar.
- Chicago Music Exchange did everything on their end they were supposed to do. Transaction/packing.. all good.
No regrets on this purchase. Nice looking guitar (avarice, greed..).Last edited by Spook410; 07-08-2020 at 08:58 PM.

Regarding OP, yes.
Picture the scene, ole' Jazzbow strumming his J Mascis J Master slung around his neck on a long strap, pivoting on his right hip, legs straight ahead and crossed foot over foot, purched on his Roland Cube 60 with a cigarette protruding from pouted lips with wisps of smoke curling up toward the rehearsal room ceiling.
A snapshot of sonic serenity comping changes with free flowing fingers finding gracious grips!
Ahhh.....
Man and musical instrument reaching a confluence of perfect balance in tone and taste. The mind free forming lines and chords without the cumbersom shackled weight of wood.
Bliss
Like a pair of comfy slippers!
YMMV bien sur
