Featuring a pair of full-toned single-coil pickups and the iconic flexible tone controls of the Jazzmaster, the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster is ready to deliver a wide range of sonic possibilities.

A Guitar Fit for a Noise-Rock King

You'll be thrilled to get your hands on the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster — a favorite among guitarists here at Irvine Art and Music. This Squier model pays tribute to J Mascis, the alt/indie rock founding father of Dinosaur Jr., who took the instrument to new heights with his feedback-drenched, distortion-laden sound. This signature model affectionately honors Mascis with a modern makeover that fans have been eagerly awaiting.

Hardware and Pickups Specified by J Mascis

Featuring a vintage white finish, '60s headstock, and gold anodized pickguard, the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster includes the cosmetics, pickups, and hardware specified by Mascis himself. Cool modifications include an Adjusto-Matic bridge, a slightly wider nut width, and a satin neck. The distinctive Dinosaur roar comes from dual single-coil pickups with punchy midrange emphasis, complemented by the versatile control layout the Jazzmaster is known for — a lead circuit with a 3-position toggle switch and volume/tone knobs, plus a rhythm circuit with separate volume/tone controls.
