J Mascis likes to do things his way. Whether it’s adding gold hardware to a vintage Stratocaster or putting a sparkly purple finish on a Telecaster, J sticks to his own style. In this episode of Fender Play Live, guitarist Nick Reinhart (Tera Melos, Disheveled Cuss) sits down with the legendary Dinosaur Jr. frontman and talks about how he's developed that unique style over the years. And if there’s a guitar that’s helped him define that style and is forever tethered to J Mascis, it’s the Jazzmaster. And J will be the first to admit that his own style has been molded by that iconic model.
