Default Replacement for Jagmaster
Unfortunatley due to forces of nature my beloved Jagmaster got destroyed. I know it was only a Squire and cost less than £300, but I really liked the sound I got from it. So easy to play and could handle constant tuning changes from drop-D to low B.

Now is the time to buy a replacement for it but I'm not sure if I'm just gonna go out and buy another one. Looking at Fender Jags and Jazzmasters but not sure if they suit the sound I really want. Marshall in my band already has a Les Paul and SG so they are out of the question. Want something that has a beefy low end but can be nice and warm sounding when clean. Always play with bridge pickup and go through Laney LC50 valve combo.

Any suggestions? Don't want to spend more than £500.

Sorry about the Jagmaster, they're pretty cool. You could try a Squier Tele Custom II (with seymour duncan P90s). They're only about 160 pounds but have been compared favourably with guitars double the price in reviews. The Hamer XT vector (flying V clone) got a rave review in this months Guitarist Magazine and is only 200 -ish pounds.

If you're looking for something different, try Reverend guitars. They have quite an extensive range and are really cool.

The Tribute range by G&L are also good if you're looking for a decent strat/tele alike. Other brands to consider are Godin and Gordon Smith (handmade in the UK, prices start at 500 ish).

I'd have thought a Jazzmaster would give the sound you want. Mine has a beefy low end, and sounds warm. (I just can't do it justice!!!).

Been looking at a Fender Toronado Deluxe. Anyone heard anything about this guitar?

Mmm Jazzmaster seems quite tasty too
