The sign of a thriving guitar community is fools posting photos of their unmodded incredibly popular guitars, so it’s an honor to be the first to share this photo of a JMJM here :P It’s not even the more desirable model, it’s a 2020, and I don’t particularly get along with the ToM bridge, but it’s mine and I love it all the same!
Oh, interesting, I see those pole spacing and covers and I assumed they were p90s
Not an uncommon assumption! I learned this by making the same assumption on Reddit a few years ago
In a surprise twist, the pickups in the J Mascis models are constructed more like p90s than typical jazzmaster pickups, with bar magnets along the bottom and the adjustable screw pole pieces. Guess they figured jazzmaster pickups weren’t confusing enough people as is! 😅
Hah! I did not know that. They just gotta keep us guessing on this stuff
