Overall very good guitar, some quality control issues
As shown in the pics, the screws on the pickguard (which on Fenders is actually part of the structure of the guitar) are not drilled straight. It's a small detail but demonstrates an issue of quality control. I have cheaper guitars (eg a Donner thinline TC that I bought as a cheap bang around guitar) that are at least drilled straight. Again a smaller issue but one that should not be present on a $500 guitar (admittedly I got this on a Prime sale for much less but still). So too, the magnets in the pickup are not evenly set and while this is again not a major issue, it just isn't something that should be on a guitar of this price.As other reviews have said, this will need setup, but reality is that is true of pretty much any guitar, even pricier ones should have a proper setup even if they are playable out of the box. I just finished doing a full setup on this and it wasn't bad, the neck was very close to straight and only needed minor tuning of the truss rod. The frets were generally even and only needed a bit of touching up. The tuners feel solid and the finish is overall high quality. I love the turquoise seafoam green and gold pickguard with the white accents and hammered metal features.Another small point was that the strings were showing signs of rust. Any proper setup includes replacing strings so this isn't a big deal, and I think has to do with it being a 2022 model sold in 2023, but again not a great point when unboxing it.As to the actual tone quality it's generally excellent, gives the old school vibe that matches the finish. I will say that the volume control knob seems to go down rapidly, like 10-9-4-2-1-1-1-1 so be mindful of that.Overall I still give it 4 stars, would be five if the quality control was better, but try to grab it on sale as the $500 price tag seems high considering these points. I have cheaper guitars that had better quality control.

Color: Lake Placid BlueVerified Purchase
Some reviews mention that the Squire Jazzmaster needs to be set up prior to playing. The Jazzmaster has some fine tweaking that will need to be done but this is no surprise as the build quality is outstanding as is the playability. I owned a Fender Stratocaster and Fender Jaguar in the 60's and the 40th anniversary Squires are in many ways better. The addition of the Jazzmaster now completes my collection of the 40th Anniversary Gold Editions. BTW, I only have one complaint. The box the Squire came in looked like it had been attacked by a Rodeo Bull. I was surprised the guitar was not damaged. Sadly this seems to be one of the biggest complaints in regards to the two big companies who deliver world wide.
