The Sound of Indie Rock Royalty

This isn't just another offset. This is the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster, a guitar designed with the godfather of alternative and indie rock, J Mascis of Dinosaur Jr. It's built to handle his signature blend of beautiful, chiming melodies and full-on sonic assaults. From the moment you plug it in, you can feel that it's voiced for players who push boundaries, delivering a fatter, warmer tone than a typical Jazzmaster, but with all the clarity and string definition that makes these guitars so iconic.

Custom-Voiced Pickups

The heart of the Mascis Jazzmaster is its pair of single-coil Jazzmaster pickups. These aren't your standard-issue pickups; they've been tweaked to J's personal specs. They have a warmer, fuller voice that's closer to a P90, giving you a powerful midrange punch that sings with sustain and takes fuzz pedals like an absolute champion. Yet, they still clean up beautifully, offering that classic, glassy offset tone when you roll the volume back.

Effortless Playability

A great guitar should feel like an extension of your hands, and this one delivers. The maple neck is carved into a comfortable "C" shape with a smooth gloss urethane finish that feels broken-in from day one. Combined with a modern 9.5" radius Indian Laurel fingerboard and 21 jumbo frets, this guitar is built for deep bends and effortless lead work. The Adjusto-Matic™ bridge provides rock-solid tuning stability, even when you're getting expressive with the vintage-style floating tremolo.

Dual-Circuit Versatility

Just like the original Jazzmasters, the J Mascis model features the powerful dual-circuit design. The "Lead" circuit gives you access to both pickups with a 3-way toggle and master volume/tone controls. But flip the slide switch up, and you engage the "Rhythm" circuit, which activates the neck pickup with its own dedicated thumbwheel volume and tone controls. It's perfect for quickly switching between a crunchy lead tone and a darker, mellower rhythm sound on the fly.

- In business since 1976! Moore Music has been a premier brick-and-mortar guitar shop in Evansville, Indiana since shortly after opening in 1976. Founder, Pat Moore, instilled in his business the concept of old-school service that we build upon today. When the current owner, Brett Mulzer, took the store online as Moore Guitars in 2013, we quickly developed a reputation for honesty and integrity in all our interactions with our customers. That’s a prime reason why we’re the fastest-growing online guitar shop.

- Our sales staff are all musicians! What’s more important than communication? We speak your language. Whether you’re a beginner or a professional player, we’ve been in your shoes. A lot of aspects of the guitar are intangible, and a non-player just can’t understand. It’s a guitar thing. But we can talk about tone and feel in the same language you use. We know what it means to love an instrument, and we want to help you find your new love.
