Lol I had exactly the same experience. Total ignorance to total want in about an hour. I always loved the look of a Jazzmaster but I only play short scale guitars, so this really ticks a lot of boxes. Having owned a few Japanese Fenders I have a lot of trust in their quality control so I'm happy to buy on sight.
@alex_s I went for the sunburst - I love those pastel ones and I'd love a sparkly one one day but I've always loved the offsets in sunburst:
I love how the junior sizing makes those soapbar pickups look oversized and friendly. I think this guitar is going to be a friend for life.

Reminds me of a chat I had a few years back with another guitarist who, after seeing me playing my Jazzmaster and me telling him I also had a Casino said "but you're tall, if I had those guitars I'd look like I'm swimming in guitar!"
In other news, I'm getting serious GAS for a new bass. I've had a Stagg Jazz Bass clone for years which I bought for all of £20 and it plays well but it does sound like a Jazz Bass, which is not the sound I want. Always found it hard to justify investing any more as I only use it for bits of demo recordings at home, but it feels like it's time for either a Precision or a Hofner type bass and the Harley Bentons get great reviews... 🤔
