Squier Deluxe Active 5-String Jazz

Just set up a trade for the Squier 5-string. My last electric guitar will be getting swapped for my first 5. Planning on meeting up Monday, so I’ll post some pics. In the meantime, it’s the all black one.

Read up on the Squier, and the reviews seem to be generally good. It has replacement tuners, and a fresh EB Slinky 45-130 set. Looks like there’s a few dings in the body, but nothing crazy.

I wanted to wait to get into a 5 until I could go hit some music stores, but I’m impatient and figured I have to jump in somewhere. Most of the 5 players I really like use a high C, but I’m gonna play it low B for awhile. If I end up disliking the neck, I already have a Warmoth picked out.
