ALT Legend

Squier honors alt-rock godfather and Dinosaur Jr. leader J Mascis with a striking new Jazzmaster guitar model that delivers as much massive sound and performance as its namesake. The pickups, hardware and finish are all specified by Mascis himself for tremendous tone and value. Only one instrument is good enough to bear his signature on his headstock—the J Mascis Jazzmaster

Gold Anodized Aluminum Pickguard

This Jazzmaster features an elegantly authentic 1950s-era design element in the gilded form of a single-ply gold anodized aluminum pickguard.

Adjusto-Matic Bridge With Floating Tremolo Tailpiece

For notable string placement and tuning stability, this instrument features an Adjusto-Matic bridge along with a vintage-style "floating" tremolo tailpiece, granting an added touch of original-era authenticity.

Vintage White Gloss Finish

The Vintage White gloss finish on the J Mascis Jazzmaster creates a blast from the past look.

Pair Of Full-Toned Single-Coil Pickups

The J Mascis Jazzmaster hosts a pair of single-coil Jazzmaster pickups chosen by Mascis himself for full-bodied tone and authentic rocking sound.

Aged White Control Knobs

The aged white control knobs offer a vintage-cool aesthetic touch.
