Finally acquired my dream guitar after almost 20 years!
I’ve long been a Dinosaur Jr fanatic and have wanted one of these MIJ J Mascis signature guitars since I first played one at a Sam Ash in high school (2008). Sadly I didn’t have the $700 or so at the time and have just been sitting here watching them climb in price ever since.
There are 2 near me for sale that are ~$3500 so I was starting to give up faith that I’d ever actually own one until I saw this pop up on Reverb for welllll under that price and knew I had to finally do it.
I’ve read mixed things about playability on these and was thinking I might have to swap the pickups and bridge on it but once I started playing it I honestly had no qualms with either. This thing was setup by the shop I purchased from (The Guitar Rescue!) and plays and sounds like an absolute dream.
Thanks for reading my little diatribe, I’m just so stoked to finally have one of these after so many years! Happy to add it to my offset collection of 4 other Jazzmasters and 1 Jaguar :).
