Squier FSR Affinity Series Jazzmaster IL Metallic Black
The Jazzmaster was released in 1958 and was touted by Leo Fender as the best guitar in the world. The luxurious look and the elaborate circuitry had placed great expectations on the model. But the market reacted differently. The Jazzmaster remained an outsider for a long time and found its lovers late. Today, the series is thankfully an integral part of the manufacturer's portfolio and also of the Squier subsidiary.
In the case of the present model, there have been some significant changes to the original, of which the bridge construction might be the most striking. The 2-point vibrato, which is usually found on Strats, is uncomplicated and works reliably and largely tuning stable with civilised handling. The string guide through the body also provides a little more sustain than the vintage original tremolo. Simple electronics have also been chosen. The guitar, which belongs to the beginner's range, does not present the young aspiring artist with unsolvable sound problems due to slide switches and additional controls. The sound, of course, is Jazzmaster-like with a certain warmth and less pointed than is the case with the sisters Strat and Tele. Blues, alternative, grunge and of course jazz are the styles that the Affinity Jazzmaster serves excellently.
