It fits right into that case. They were made for each other A Jazzmaster is a completely different thing. No wide range humbuckers, no lovely natural finish That's why I keep going back to Ibanez.

Aesthetics are clearly different:

But the wide range humbuckers are not just humbuckers, they are "wide range", that's the whole point. Humbuckers that sound good, with a wide frequency range. I wonder if I have any. I have looked at Jazzmasters before. I wanted to like them, mostly because I wanted to get the upgrade to the Strat', the high end Fender of the time, so to say, just to see what it was like. And I really liked the idea of improving the ergonomics once more, of making a guitar for the seated player. I like the way everything is pushed a little further towards the headstock too, because my first guitar was like that. But I cannot say I like the sound. Lots of high end and yet it's still strange. Maybe that would be no problem at all and I would tweak it to taste easily but I'm not sure. Then I can't be bothered with the rhythm circuit. It was a good thing in the pre-pedal bord era, no doubt. And I can't get myself to like the look either, at least not in the Squier offering, unless it's that green and black Contemporary:

There's a Telecaster I could live with. It has none of the ugliness I find in the standard ones and even comes with a rib cut on the back.

I would go for the white one. But I would find it a difficult choice anyway and would want to see the thing. The Thinline still calls. I'm not into black guitars, possibly because I like to wear black a lot. Still, I always liked the HB TE-40. This guy has added a coil split and replaced the pick-ups with EMG copies. I am a little tempted:

I like too many guitars. It's good I'm not that way with women. You could tell your wife that.
