Tried one out at PMT in Southend yesterday.
My impressions.
I was impressed by how light it was.
The neck seemed very short, even for a short scale.
The CAR looked great.
Compared to a regular jazz the body is much smaller.
Sounded great especially with just the p pup. I am beginning to wonder whether I should have bought a p or p/j rather than a jazz.
Build quality on the one I tried appeared excellent.
Overall I thought it a very nice instrument but possibly not for me. The neck just seemed too short, affecting playability ( I am 6'6"), although an hour or so of practice would probably sort that out. I did like the lightness of it though. I am still suffering from Sunday's 5 hour long practice session with my MP Jazz.
