It arrived! sounds and plays really nice!
The online reviews seem pretty spot on about this guitar.

Beautiful!

very tough to beleive this is a Squier guitar MIC...

[plesur]

That is a nice looking guitar.

I'm a fan of that 'in-between' radius, 9 1/2.

J Mascis is my favorite guitarist, so I'm stoked to see that you will be rocking this! Let us know how it sounds with fuzz...

[LaceSensor]

It sounds killer with my Swollen Pickle fuzz....I know that for sure after the first 5 minutes...

very cool, i have a MIJ jazzmaster and it's really fun to play.

any special features compared to "standard" models?

sweet looking guit--saw one of these over on TGP
Mascis is great--It's telling that he now has two signature models
NGD threads are my favorite

Where did you snag this one?

[LaceSensor]

uk based online retailer www.gak.co.uk

it was new, not 2nd hand.
£328, pretty nice deal (obviously they go for that in DOLLARS in the USA )

It has a non locking trem
It has a tune-o-matic from stock rather than the shitty vintage Jazz bridge
Anodised pickguard

Other than that its got a 9.5'' radius and the frets are fairly chunky.
The pickups are similar in construction to a p90 (like what you get on other cheap jazzmasters apparently) not quite the same as the AVRI ones as youd expect...

I've really been loving the looks of the Mascis JMs. Might have to pick one up as a backup for my MIM Jazzmaster.
Not totally sure about the anodized pickguard, but that's easily replaceable.

The american pickguards are a direct replacement, if that helps sway things.
