Neat! A Jazzmaster that makes sense.

The pickguard is so homely, though.

I like 'em. They've got better pickups, simpler switching, and a bridge that doesn't suck. If Leo had come out with these Jazzmasters for Fender I bet that we would see far fewer strats and superstrats these days.

Yes. It sorta is.

Absolutely.

Cool guitar at a reasonable price. G&L does things right. Much better take on the design than Fender.

I have to agree about that pickguard though. IMO it'd look better with a tortoise guard and cream plastics.

Maybe it's just me, but does it look as if the strings may be spaced too widely on a narrow neck?

I know that the default nut width on G&L guitars always feels a little too narrow to me.

That looks better to me than most actual Jazzmasters.

I wish the Doheny had the bridge far back like a Jazzmaster. That extra string length adds mojo to the tone and feel.

G&L are great guitars.

Looks fine to me and better features and good price. Pickguard and all.

G&L are great guitars.

It probably adds to tuning instability, too, considering the shallow angle over the bridge.

Love block inlays.

JM bridge is a PITA. Go to the offsetguitars forum and see how every other thread is about problems with the bridge.

I test drove one for a couple of weeks and did enjoy the novelty of resting my hand on the extra string length and playing fingerstyle. Definitely a different feel.

im with ya. 1 5/8" seems small when you are used to 1 11/16", why does that tiny bit make a difference, dunno, but it sure does

 

[Mincer]

I am used to the Music Man necks that are 1 5/8, so I bet I'd dig the G&L.
