Squier Mini Jazzmaster HH Electric Guitar (Surf Green)

This review is brutal https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgNAQshW10U

The one that I played had decent intonation and action straight from guitar center, but after reading/watching some reviews it seems like I got lucky. One comment I saw said to tune it up a whole step or more from standard and it'll fix most of the issues.

This is a good small guitar for this price. These clowns on Youtube seem to understand that if you play 10s on a Les Paul (24.75" scale), you'll need to play 9s on a Strat/Tele/Jazzmaster for it to feel the same. And yet they don't realize that they have to adjust even more if playing a 22.75" scale guitar like this. Fender does NOT help matters by putting the same strings on these at the factory that they put on real Jazzmasters. All of this means that if you use higher gauge strings, file the nut accordingly, and do a proper setup, this guitar is fine. No, it is not built to the same standard nor will it feel as good as a Classic Vibe/Paranormal/Contemporary Squier, but it costs a small fraction of those. And you will have neck dive if you put on normal tuners, so that will always be a compromise. But if you set up this guitar correctly, those tuner will keep this guitar in tune.
Now if you care to listen to people who have a clue rather than tatted Youtubers (who largely still believe that tonewoods mean something for solidbody electric guitars), go to Squier-Talk.com and find the threads where people are modding these. You'll find that they are quite happy with a cool lightweight Jazzmaster with a pair of humbuckers that don't actually need upgrading.
I have the Strat version. In the past two weeks it has become my go-to guitar because it is so much easier to play now that I'm used to it. For that reason I'm buying the Jazzmaster too. Was only waiting to see if Fender came out with some new colors, but at this price I don't care. Never had a surf green Fender, but I will later this week. Thanks, OP for this one!
