Mascis' Squier

Squier introduced the J Mascis signature Jazzmaster recently, we can't help but acknowledge the instrument's gorgeous looks.

Looks like Squier is pushing the non-Strat/ Tele models through signature backing but we, objective buyers, would want to invest in a 'Fender' when it comes to the non-Strat/ Tele selections. We know that the outline per se is less commanding when it comes to re-sale, keeping this in mind, we hope the 'Fender' label would be the fall-back factor fore re-sale considerations, but it's a 'Squier' in this case. Anything wrong with Squier? Absolutely no, I own the Duo-Sonic, one of the best the manufacturer has to offer. Bought it with no firm intentions to sell-off in time to come (I always plan to keep the instrument first), maybe that's why I have no re-sale security issues. He, he...

i bought the Duo Sonic from BGW, it's slightly more than $600...

in my books, good guitars are measured against the manufacturer's philosophy- what they have to offer & whether they exceeded our (the players) expectations. the Duo Sonic is a timely reminder for me that the Squiers of today are no longer dud guitars solely riding on Fender's popularity. the QC on show was definitely beyond my expectations. its shorter 24" scale length gives me a different playing experience. they are not for kids, mind you :-)
