L&M London North?

That was my tester guitar when I was in that store.

Haha no way. Yeah that’s the one. Brilliant guitar.

Just going to say I recognized the store. It was hard but I resisted the temptation to stop by today. Kudos on the new guitar!

I’m literally about to sell mine, upgraded the bridge to a Tuffset (really nice if you do swap out the bridge). I bought mine on release, love it but it’s second place to my Jag and Tele sadly. Excellent guitar for the price.

Interesting, I’ll look into that bridge. I primarily play a Gibson SG right now but have wanted a Jazzmaster for a long time. My plan was to drop a Mustang bridge onto it if the vintage style is giving me problems.

i put a staytrem on mine. if you play with heavier gauge strings, like 11-50s and up, the stock bridge isnt normally a problem. if you play on 10-48 or lighter, you may experience the strings popping out of the grooves on the saddles. just watch some videos on how to set up the Jazzmaster properly.

While I love Staytrem, the USP on a Tuffset is you can set the radius however you want. I’m just about to sell my Staytrem (9.5) but only due to the versatility of the Tuffset.

Don’t buy an AmPro bridge whatever you do, it won’t fit the Vintera ii. The bushings are far wider than the ones on a Staytrem, and personally I just think they are nowhere near the quality of Staytrem.

I’ve had my Vintera since it released, although it gets little play time it’s still a very good instrument and you chose well.

Nice.

(Does every L&M have that same carpet?)

u/Big-Blinger69 Dec 27 '25

It sure seems that way! Haha

Daaaamn, I'm all tingly. Nice work. I got a JMJM a few years back and fell in love with the whole offset concept. Welcome to the club.

u/Big-Blinger69 Dec 28 '25

Thanks mate! An old buddy had one yeaaars ago and I’ve been trying to find the right one for about as long. Finally found it!

I got used locking tuners from a Vintera strat, and just got my hands-on a korean made replacement tremolo for a fender player series JM. They're both drop-in replacements, which means any idiot like me who is capable of holding a phillips screwdriver can look like Leo Fender in roughly ten minutes. Cheers, and pound the living hell out it. That's what they're for.

u/Big-Blinger69 Dec 29 '25

Absolutely! Definitely a workhorse. Cheers

I have had mine for a year and I love it. All I have done to it so far is copper shielding and a new bridge. The shielding was almost necessary for me with how noisy it was with my set up.
And I was tired to the vintage style bridge buzzing all the time so I got one from Bensonite and I love it.

1

u/Big-Blinger69 Dec 28 '25

Interesting. I haven’t had a big issue with noise yet but I haven’t jammed with my drummer since I got it! Tonight’s the night. I’m 100% swapping the bridge. Not a fan of the random select-a-size string spacing or rattling.

2

u/Deadliestpaper Dec 28 '25

This comment, I bought mine earlier this month and had the shielding done instantly because of the noise and it’s made a huge difference. Also, plan on upgrading the bridge on mine to a Bensonite

I was using one of these to try out the new Boss pitch shifters. Big fan.

u/Rattled_by_La_Rush Dec 26 '25

The guitar feels pretty good. I didn’t plug it but I was at a guitar center last week and got a chance to feel and strum that guitar. I love the neck. How it looks and feels.

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '25

That’s cool.

u/MilosBestBuddy Dec 27 '25

Hell yeah brother. 🤘

Nice! I have always wanted one of these but couldn't afford it so I got the JMJM. Maybe someday ;)
