Re: strat neck vs jazzmaster neck
They are the same neck with a slightly different headstock shape.
Considering this, are Jaguar and strat necks the same?
No. Different scale lengths. Intonation will be destroyed. You can replace the fretboard on a Jaguar neck with maple if you don’t mind doing some serious work.
Subsequently, how long is a Jazzmaster neck? The Fender Jazzmaster usually has a 25.5″ scale neck while the Jaguar has a 24″ scale neck. The Jaguar has three pickup switches at the bottom of the guitar.
Then, is Jazzmaster better than Strat?
If you are looking for a fatter, fuller sound, then the Jazzmaster is the better choice. If you want that classic Fender sound, then go with the Strat. The big difference between the two series comes in the materials and electronics used in their making. Both are much higher quality than the Player series.
What kind of pickups are in a Jazzmaster?
The Jazzmaster pickup is a true single-coil pickup. From start to finish, these units are made of one coil of wire turned around the pole pieces, and in principle works just like those found on Fender’s more popular models, the Stratocaster and Telecaster.
What neck is on a Jazzmaster?
Fender Classic Player Jazzmaster Guitar Neck Features:
25.5″ scale length. “C” maple neck profile. 9.5″-radius pau ferro fingerboard plays like a true classic. 21 medium jumbo frets.
What’s the difference between a Telecaster and jazzmaster?
The Jazzmaster has a slightly more hollow and mellow tone with a modern twist compared to its Telecaster and Stratocaster cousins with noticably less bottom end, hence why it sounds super bright and articulated.
Where are Fender Jaguars made?
Will a Fender Jazzmaster neck fit a Stratocaster?
Thanks! As someone who owns both, I can assure you JM and Strat necks are completely interchangeable. The only difference is the headstock shape (and not even that, depending on which headstock shape we’re talking about.)
Will a Jazzmaster neck fit a Telecaster body?
A Jazzmaster neck would fit on a Tele body that’s got the strat rounded pocket.
