Hey everyone! I just bought a Classic Player Jazzmaster Special, which I am really enjoying. I'm looking for the classic surf sound, which the Jazzmaster already delivers, but I'm wondering whether I could enhance it by getting the guitar set up with flatwound 11s. Has anyone here configured their Jazzmaster this way? If so, how do you like it?

Yup.
'Been using flat .011s on the '95 MIJ for 13+ years. Right now D-Rs are flavour of choice.
'Put American Vintage Reissue pups on 2 years ago and transformed the instrument into a real, repeat real JM. Also, 'got a hot pro setup.

Love it. In this opinion, flat .011s and AVRI pups are the necessary ingredients to a true gourmet Jazzaster.

Oh, and if hum is an agro, an Electro-Harmonix Hum Debugger will tame it and allow you to use all the settings, including single coil, rather noiselessly.

Thanks for the insight, JSJH. I think I may give it a try. 8)
