I have a squier bullet strat i purchased 2 years ago second hand. Recently one of the tuners just broke itself and now the E string is out of tune.
I was thinking on upgrade to a jazzmaster type guitar.
I have 3 options 2 squier and 1 sire.

1 Sire Larry Carlton J5 Sherwood Green

2 Squier Jazzmaster Classic Vibe 70’s vintage blonde

3 Squier Jazzmaster Classic Vibe 60’s

Any advice?

Without dragging up the Strat debacle, what does everyone think to the new American Professional models?

The addition of the Custom Shop-ish, Bensonite-like bridge is cool, but I find the colour selections too middle of the road. Oxblood is nice, Dark Night isn't to my taste and the other are very very normal.

Also, why no Mustang in this series. There are a LOT of Mustang players!

Any more thoughts?

I’m looking at this Squier Toronado that is for sale locally for £210 (US$278) described as being in “as new” condition. Money is tight so I’m hesitating on this but I’d be interested in your thoughts on both the Toronado and the price.

Hey ! I’m thinking about getting a Jazzmaster playing II on thomann, since there is no way to try it near where I live. I really want an offset guitar for the look and also for the vibrato sound.

Since I already owned a MIJ Jaguar and I had a few problems with it… almost no sustain, the infamous bridge, uncontrollable microphonic feedback with 0 gain TS9 and 1/3 drived RAT2 into a Pro Reverb …

I consider the JM because of the look, the pickups, the larger scale, the mustang bridge and the better neck. It’s (relatively) cheap, and I guess it’s playable right out of the box.

I play in a band, garage rock / punky / shoegaze stuff with lots of leads. Do you think the JM is for me ?

Is it worthy?

My bridge always keeps tilting forward and staying that way when I use the trem even once? Does it have to do with the pressure on the bridge I’m currently using 10 gauge strings should I put und 10,5 or 11s?

Anyone have experience with both?
I like the look of the “classic” Halon and leaning toward that purely from an aesthetic POV and the fact that it’s cheaper. Is Descendant worth the up charge?
