ooooh dat esquire (no neck pup). I like it.
And Kevin Shields. That's really the answer I should've used right away.
EDIT: Damn, I'm always posting things not realizing I'm a page behind.
The big issue with a lot of the cheap jazzmasters (including BTs) is often the stock bridge. Those are usually needing a swap to keep the strings from popping out of the saddle. I did it myself on mine, but I'm by no means a professional so my guitar still needs a serious professional set-up.
I just was playing for a while today and it felt really good. Haven't just let loose and jammed out some Dinosaur Jr and ripped on my nastier fuzz sounds. That said my jazzy needs a real set up.

It's definitely not an "authentic" jazzmaster at all. Personally, I like the simple switching and the humbucker on the bridge, much more apt for me. My other guitar is an HS semi-hollow, so having an SH solid-body is just perfect.
Because the lower end Fender models either don't have the switching, or have different pickups.
