I am one very happy guitarist about this one.. nothing nice ever pops up in my area. This is a first edition 1996/97 Squier Vista Jagmaster, Made in Japan. The MIJ Jagmasters were offered for only 2 years, but the quality is just through the roof.. my other guitars are a '62 Musicmaster and a '96 CS Strat.. and dare I say the quality of this guitar nearly rivals my Custom Shop. It's that close. The neck fits perfectly in the pocket, and is very straight. It feels so right.

Only issues are that it's sat around a ladys home for the past 6 years (her musician son is 37 and is attending Berkeley), so the fingerboard needs some lemon oil, the pots are scratchy and need replacement, and new strings obviously. It's been played, so it has some dings, a couple of small chips, and scratches, but now I don't have to feel bad about the next time it takes a hit.

It's exactly the type of guitar I was after: I needed a guitar with Humbuckers, it's a Fender, I love vintage style tuners.. and it's just plain nice to look at. The picture does the Candy Apple Red absolutely no justice. All for $200 + the cost of the pots getting put in, we'll say a $250 total investment. I can't believe my stupid luck. If I wanted to I could double my money, but she's a keeper:

I forgot to include the trem bar in the picture.

And while I'm here, the other ladies: :P
