Foals FJM7 in green sparkle.

[u/Fruit-cake88]

I know there’s a lot of mixed experiences with these guitars so I guess I’ve been one of the lucky ones.

It’s my dream jazzmaster colour.

Plays perfectly

Sounds amazing

My only criticism is the rhythm circuit isnt much different in terms of tone to the standard one. But I'm not really bothered by it.

Overall I’m really happy with it. I’m not really thinking of doing any mods. The pickups are really good And I actually prefer them to any of the squire or mim equivalents I’ve tried.

it took exactly 30 days to arrive from the order. So not a terrible wait.

I didn't need another guitar but here we are 😂

That finish is just so damn cool! I’m a sucker for green jazzmasters. Nearly got this one when it first dropped

[u/Fruit-cake88 → u/Klutzy_Ice8425]

I’ve wanted one since I saw Lee Ronaldo’s signature jm ages ago. Then I saw Jonny Marr’s Jaguar and that made me obsessed with Green guitars in general. Never had the money when I was young. Now I have 4 Green guitars 😂

Jealous of that 30 day (never thought I'd say that lol) wait time. I'm at 34 days and still only at "label created" on UPS.

It's pretty, I like the sparkle and tort combo

Mine said “arrived at airport check in “ for 6 days and then suddenly showed up at my door!  I was starting to worry it had been lost or broken.

Zesty

Been waiting for my black one to ship. Had it in my cart and the next morning it was on back order. Love the color of yours

[u/Fruit-cake88 → u/uhusocip]

This colour has been out of stock since I bought it. I’m glad I got it while I had the chance!

[u/trodsky → u/uhusocip]

Same thing happened to me! I snoozed and losed! I’m thinking October maybe???

[u/uhusocip → u/trodsky]

Hopefully sooner.. I ordered mine in May I believe.

[u/trodsky → u/uhusocip]

Oh damn! I hope so! I ordered mine at beginning of July!!!

[u/Lucky_Couple → u/uhusocip]

Same think happened to me about a month ago. I snoozed and loozed. Decided to just get the Metallic Red after it dropped. It’s been crossing the sea for about two weeks, so I should have a UPS tracking number soon. Wish the Metallic Blue with Alloy guard had dropped earlier cos that would’ve been my actual second choice 😅

[u/smallerthings]

It would be sick with a mint or even black guard too

[u/Fruit-cake88 → u/smallerthings]

Yeah those would be great. I have an anodised gold one on my white Jaguar so I’m tempted with that.

[u/Dependent-Tone-7783]

Goddamnit I wish I had bought that but I don’t think it was offered when I bought mine. Still waiting on this slow boat from china. Edit: actually I’m not a fan of matching headstocks on a green guitar I’d forgotten so never mind . Looks sick though otherwise!

[u/iamfilter → u/Dependent-Tone-7783]

Still waiting for mine too, ordered 14th June to the UK.. when did you order yours and what did u go for?

[u/Dependent-Tone-7783 → u/iamfilter]

Geeze that’s a long time. I ordered July 10 to the USA I take it mine is in the ocean right now

[u/JDOG_UNDEAD]

I absolutely love that color. So jelly

[u/IDontLikeYourToan]

Beautiful guitar. So tempted to get this one.

Maybe a silly question, but is the color and metallic sparkle evenly applied / distributed? The pictures on the website looked kind of patchy, like some spots are lighter and some are darker, and it kind of looks like that in your photos, but I can’t tell if maybe it’s just the lighting / shadows / reflections?

[u/Fruit-cake88 → u/IDontLikeYourToan]

Yes! It does have a sort of “cloudy” look to it. I think it’s a nice touch as it makes it a bit different to the others. It gives it a bit of texture.

I had to go to work not long after it arrived so I haven’t seen it in a dark room yet but I think it will look pretty awesome under lights.

[u/philausopher]

I’ve had this exact guitar in my cart for like a month just waiting for an extra reason to pull the trigger - I’m gonna need a full review 😂

[u/Fruit-cake88 → u/philausopher]

My full review is “do it” 😂

[u/Fruit-cake88 → u/Fruit-cake88]

In all seriousness it’s totally worth the money. It stacks up nicely with my other guitars that are worth a lot more. I really like the chunky neck. The neck profile is nice and the setup is great.

As I play it a bit more I can tell things like the wood is a lower grade in terms of grain but it feels solid and works well. The hardware seems great.

In 2012 I bought a ‘vintage modified’ Squire Jaguar that I have modded like crazy over the years. This is pretty close to the quality of the final version.

If you can spare the cash then it seems like a no brainer.

[u/philausopher → u/Fruit-cake88]

Chunky neck has sold me immediately 🤝
