I don't really like it as a Jazzmaster, but it is kind of whacky kool as a Strat. It really is too much like a Strat with Jazz Bass vibe than any real Jazzmaster vibe. The first Jazz Basses had the big mungo Jazzmaster pups, so I don't like the Strat pups or bridge if looking at it as a Jazzmaster pulled more to the Bass side.
