Fender Jazzmaster vs Gretsch Streamliner

but I'm not gonna be playing in Ultra today because this is the American original 60s model and I chose it because it's pretty much the classic setup ...

The luthier I took it to and paid $135 to fix said that the electronics inside were absolute garbage. Over half the wires were hanging by a thread from the solder and, of course, one had come completely loose. I expected cheap pots and switches for the price I paid. But I don't think it's too much to ask the manufacturer to take a little pride in the finished product

Beautiful guitar, don’t get me wrong, however, I’m giving this 3 stars for the horrendous set up it came with. Intonation was wack, truss rod was wack, saddles were wack, a string actually unwound from the bridge when I used the whammy bar. The fret ends were also very sharp. My verdict is that if you’re a little hands on and know how to fix these minor issues it’s a good buy, but for beginners or ones that are scared to work on a guitar you’ll have to pay for a professional setup which can range from 50-100$ so you make the call if you wanna spend the money

This is a walnut stain finish on one that satin finish and here we've got Riviera Blue. You've got slightly oversized F-holes just to enhance the tone...
