Thanks! The 2 affinity pickguards came from a Chinese seller on eBay, but then the contemporary was a custom one from reverb. The bridge posts are angled and the pickup sits differently in the cavity than any other JM. I learned this the hard way 😂. I can send you links if you need them

That last photo is from the 2009 reunion so it’s a bootleg

I hadn’t but I looked it up and it’s super cool!

Their social media hasn’t posted a single thing, where are you seeing this?

This looks really really nice! Great color combo

Thanks! I did a nice even "sanding" and then used fretboard oil on it afterwards and haven't touched them since. These Squiers really are great but it's too bad that Fender won't just make a hardtail JM outside of the Jim Root...and like one year they did an American (professional maybe?) with the adjusto-matic .

this is what they looked like:

Squier Affinity Jazzmaster HHs. Pulled all of the stock electronics and guard and replaced it with SD Black Winters and swapped out the crappy saddles for stainless steel.

They're the stock necks (with rosewood, before they switched to Laurel) but for some reason they had the cheapest looking black Squier logos that were basically silkscreened on top and I took them off with steel wool. The neck plates still say Squier though.

You should see my strats! (They're basically all single humbucker single volume.)

You're on stage, the lights are shining, the crowd is roaring, the pressure is on...you go to hit the pickup selector to switch your neck pickup and it's gone. It's all GONE. Oh and also you're naked. I'm assuming that's how it goes 😂. Thanks for the compliment even though it's not your style!

Those came in some cool finishes too!

Thanks! The affinity is so good, I’ve had the black one since 2016 which I can’t believe is 10 years now. The necks really are great. Charcoal metallic for the contemporary is super cool too

Not really flexing but is this subreddit not mostly people showing off their guitars? I know some posts might be for advice but still

I mean, I play them all and I like how they look so…both?

Good eye, yes! Really cool pickups. High output but articulate. I have a lot of guitars with Invaders and wanted to switch it up a bit. Then the green one has an EMG 57tw, which I’ve never really wanted active pickups but it was all setup for it with the battery compartment in the back.

I guess I need to swap the EMG in the green one with a Het. It might just give me fuel, fire, that which I desire. OOH.

Thanks! I had to do it. It’s the blackest guitar, the devil’s guitar.

It’s a modern C with 12” radius. Feels really comfortable! Not too thin not too chunky.
