    I almost posted that J video. That's a hell of a sales pitch for the Acoustasonic JM!

    The Troy Van Leeuwen jazzmaster won't ship for a month or two so I went ahead and ordered one of these too and it will be here this week. I know a lot of people either don't like or don't really get the purpose of the acoustasonic series but I think they're build quality is really good and that they're versatility makes them a really great tool for both live and studio applications. 
    Do you prefer to buy only from Sweetwater?  I saw the jazzmaster available at some other reputable shops so just curious.

    Haha nice. It is a sweet guitar. Stock is just low across the board right now with demand outweighing supply and shipping issues.

    I've been intrigued by the acoustasonic ... but I lost my strat a few years back and those american ultra's look pretty tempting ... but the acoutasonic would probably serve me better ... but the texas tea strat looks so groovy

    So far I'm loving this thing. Versatile and light. Low action and really high build quality. Great tones as well.

    Yeah they're inventory is pretty depleted at the moment. Hope they are able to restock in the next several months buy they're out of a lot of stuff right now and I think they're missing out on a lot of sales because of it too.

    Sweetwater had record sales last year … like around a billion dollars.  Their stock has been low on a lot of stuff for over a year, but people have been buying a lot of stuff.  The pandemic and microchip shortage is affecting the availability of a lot of stuff.  The current labor shortage in the US will make things worse for the next several years. 

    Guitar Center on the other hand filed for Bankruptcy in a year when they should have had record sales.  Decades of shitty service and screwing people over came back to bite them … especially since a lot of items out of stock at Sweetwater seem to be readily available at Guitar Center.  I have gone to GC several times in the last year for items out of stock elsewhere, but they are a last resort.

    My new baby came today. It's in the shop for a setup now. Came with 9's and I'm putting 11's on it. Everything else looks great. Can't wait to dig into some qotsa riffs.

    Sweet!  The black binding is a cool look on the neck.

    I started playing with 9’s. Probably giving up some tone but much easier to play.   Maybe need to play acoustic more to keep the hand strength up.

    I think 11s are a must for Bigsbys and Jazzmaster trems. Love those TVL Jazzy’s.
