I guess these are not true Jazzmasters, so I will call them Jazzmeisters.

It all started when @Buddha Pickups offered several sets of his pickups. As Tim will attest, I can not resist. The lot of pickups included two sets of Jazzmaster pickups (one set single coil, the other humbucker) & I do not currently own anything resembling a JM or routed of JM pickups! So preparations were made to start hunting.

Fortunately, @honyock started a thread about a body & build he was starting. In there I found out about Rossier on the bay & I have a Meteora style body on order with JM pickup routes & a 2 point tremolo

That should take care of one set. I think I will put the single coil pups in there & use a four way switch for serial wiring.

Being a cheap SOB I was also looking at the Firefly FFJA, but don't like the colors they currently have in stock. So I will try to be patient.

Well of course the wizards of the interweb were watching me & the Subzero Rogue popped up at a seemingly very good price. So this is on the way from Jolly Old England:

Fortunately, I also have a set of Buddha HBs to put in this one.

So I will fairly quickly go from no JM style guitars to three. Life is good!

If you're still looking, I think the CNZ Audio JM is a very good mod platform for the money. I love the way I dialed in the playability on this one, and I don't even hear a reason to change pickups. Having said that, the routing looks perfectly Jazzmaster friendly. Mine was $249, but they have increased their price by about 12% since. They are also considering adding a Jaguar style to their lineup.

@ILuvTeles I've been looking at "Meisters" and Jags and have about decided on one of these.

Ooooooo, I like that natural alder, but it is out of stock.

I have an old ash SJM/Liquid I'm getting rid of if you're interested. It needs some work but would also hold a set of jazzmaster pups.

Also, the 2nd jazzmaster set is a tapped set.

If that were in stock I would have already ordered one actually I did put in for notification when they're back in stock.

@redman now I am on the list too.

I'm on the GuitarFetish email list, but as hard as I've tried, I've never found the lefties of which they speak. I even got an email from them today where they claim to have lefties in, but no dice. I'd certainly build a Jag if they only had the lefty parts.

I hope we get them soon.
