Excellent good looking fun guitar with a few issues

Nonjovi 18.08.2026

I couldn’t resist the pull of this relic-ed JM style guitar.
It arrived in good condition but with some minor issues:
- the fretboard was very dry
- there were quite a few sharp fret ends
- a handful of frets were slightly uneven
I suspect some of the above were due to the very hot and dry conditions that have plagued Europe again this summer (the heating has started…) and I managed to address all of them successfully.
I have the impression that the new pickups are quite a bit hotter than the previous Roswell pickups. I owned a JA-60 that I gave away to a charity shop a few years ago.
I don’t mind that they are hotter, but I may experiment with changing the pots or swapping the pickups for some Curtis Novak JM’s that are lying around here..
Overall, very pleased with my purchase.

One of the best guitars I've bought in a long time

Big clivetrain 06.08.2026

The only thing I did to set up this guitar was set the string height to my preference the quality for the price is incredible the pickups are spot on for what I want they sound great through fender amps.
The finish on the body andneck is on par with my henrys guitar.
Playability is great comparable to guitars many times that price definatly an intermediate to pro guitar in my opinion well worth a try.

This thing rings like a bell awesome!

Scouse pete 18.08.2026

This is probably the best sounding and feeling guitar for the money I own and I have fenders and gibsons. Its very resonant and is loud acoustically unplugged and just vibrates for days. The relicing is not the best granted and there was a bit of fret sprout, but for pure sound and feel whoever made these knocked it out the park for its comfort and sound, did I mention its very light too. I want another one but if people find out they wont last long. Way to go Thoman

Bin begeistert!!!

Manux666 03.08.2026

Ich bin kein Gitarren Experte, ich spiele ab und zu. Daher kann ich keine super fachliche Bewertung geben. Im Vergleich zu anderen in der Preisklasse wirkt diese hochwertig, meiner Meinung nach von der Verarbeitung besser als Squier. Vom Sound auch wirklich gut. Hatte eigentlich überlegt Pickups zu wechseln, ist nicht nötig finde ich, da der Sound toll ist.

Ich habe die Gitarre am Freitag Nachmittag bestellt, Samstag war sie da!!! Vielen Dank!
