  • Hey thanks for checking out my video..
    As you probably know, i've played and owned more Jaguars and Jazzmasters than i dare to remember. I really had an open mind when the new Player series Jaguar came out. I love the colours and the humbucker + single coil layout but after owning one and playing a few shows with it. I quickly began to think that in terms of quality it was in the squier territory and wasn't worthy of a fender badge. In fact numerous Squire guitars come out of the factory much better finished that this one....so i guess what i'm saying is, i think the guitar is very cool but as it stands its not worth buying a new when you could easily get something better for the money!!!

    Saw the tshirt and thought - have I found a demo guy that does not play boring solos and barren riffs? I finally did. And what a relief that was I must tell you. Not so many people here with the playing style that I like, so thanks a lot for the review :D I'll definitely subscribe and see your other videos

    I agree with you on this guitar. Love hate is accurate. This guitar was kinda given to me, I’m normally a strat tele guy, however I want to incorporate this sound in the bands material. Intonation was a pain, I finally had a pro do it, and they did an ok job. I want the tremolo! And it stays in tune quite well. Today I changed my strings to 11 gauge and I’m not sure why other than I read online to try them. Still stays in tune, I will have to re intonate just a tad, I can do it this time.
    I dislike the Pau Ferro fret board. Nothing like Rose wood!!! Oh how I love Rosewood !! As for frets no issues I got lucky.
    I played a squire jag and was really impressed. It this player series doesn’t start to fit in, I’m going to just send it down the road and get the squire.
    My pick ups are fine, no crazy jump in volume. I agree though, if someone is paying purchase price for this circus freak , it needs to put together correctly.
    The climate for new guitars today is, you buy one, then you have it intonated. I suspect that coming from the factory they cross several climate zones, thrown around in a truck or in a plane and the wood hasn’t figured out what climate to acclimate to.
    Great accurate truthful review!
    I shall see how 11s work, I’ll update soon!

    You're spot on about the rough fretwork but from other reviews I already half expected that when I ordered mine. As I'm a guitar repair guy it was no big deal and took 15 mins to sort out. I also swapped the bridge out for a Staytrem one but not because of intonation, which was spot on even with the stock bridge, but because the screws on the stock one buzzed and rattled like a bastard. I changed the trem for a proper one with the lock button too. Oh, and swapped out the tuners for vintage style split posts.
    Despite all the tweaking to get it how I like it (which I've had to do with every guitar I've owned in the last 20 years) I love the Player Jag. The old pickup switching and tone circuit just annoys the fuck out of me and I much prefer the splittable bridge humbucker and single coil neck pup. In fact, this guitar is the most fun to play of anything I've had in decades. Some killer sounds to be had.

    Hey I absolutely loved your review of the Squire Jag, I think you have me sold...I'm just a little hung up on the stigma of Squire vs Fender, but maybe I shouldn't worry so much about labels. You mentioned the Squire weighed a little over 8 pounds, how does the Player compare weight-wise? I tried out a Squire at a shop today and it was actually comfortable, I have a bad back so weight is definitely an issue.

    Interesting review! I own this Jag in Tidepool Blue, bought second hand, and I've had a wonderful time with the guitar so far overall. I've owned a couple Fender offsets over the years, including a Squier VM Jaguar, Fender Jagstang & a Fender Pawn Shop Super-Sonic. I do agree It has its shortcomings in terms of the overall fret finish. I needed to do a basic set-up to get it playing as well as my other guitars but overall I've been really happy with it. It looks great & when dialled in right it has tone, spank and clarity in spades. I love the satin finish on the neck, felt really comfortable with the pau ferro fretboard along with a killer body colour & finish. Definitely better than any Squier Jag I've played and worthy of the Fender logo (despite a slightly naff quality control on the part of Fender here).
    Would I say that you could buy a better Jaguar? Sure. And chrome control plates would've been nice for the original vintage vibe. But I figured at the right price, second hand, it's a nice Jaguar for anyone who wants an interesting looking / modern Fender Jag on a budget and definitely a great modding platform as well.

    • @joandrumz3176
      @joandrumz3176 4 года назад

      I own that guitar too, actually bought it new. And I really thought those sharp frets sucked, cause I'm kinda a "thumb over fretboard player", so the sharp frets would be there where my knuckle is. So I went on amazon bought a fret leveling kit and the problem was solved. I mean yeah, that kit was like 15€, but I wanted that guitar and I think even beginner can handle filing them a bit down at the edge, so I don't know where huge problem is. I mean the guitar is 600 bucks I get you, but after 15 bucks more the problem is solved. And until now I haven't had any other problems with the guitar.

    Glad I saw this. If I were to get the Player, I'd probably order from Sweetwater if you're familiar with them. They tend to be pretty good with quality control and are supposedly known to not mess around and send guitars back to the factory often. Where did you get your Player from? It'd definitely make sense if you ordered it straight from Fender. Damn, I really loved the Sonic Red color on the Player and I planned on replacing the black pickguard with a white one for a badass vintage look. But it seems like all the signs are pointing towards the Blacktop now. Can't say I'm disappointed though when the black-chrome combo looks great and I'd get it at a much cheaper price. Thanks for the video man, love the quality and detail of your reviews and I'll be sure to stick around for more.

      Lord Fuzzman Hey man, not sure if you remember our past conversations about Player vs Blacktop Jaguars or not but I'm happy to say after like 8 months of searching for a good deal, I finally got a Blacktop Jaguar. Jeez, this thing plays nice, I just love it. Unfortunately the seller was a little careless and it got damaged in the shipping, but it looks like Reverb will cover the repairs. Regardless, I just wanted to thank you for your advice, things really paid off.

    Nice and honest review. Personally I had no issues with the fret ends on mine. They were smooth. Had the pots replaced by CTS pots and upgraded the output jack to a solid one (Neutrik). Plays like a dream and I like the humbucker in the bridge. Just offers more balls in sound. Thinking of adding a chrome plate in the top area (the one from the American Pro seems like it should fit). Just miss some chrome 😉

    I had a discount coupon so I threw caution to the wind and ordered the Sonic Red version. I've been trying my best not to return it (adjusted the pickup heights, struggled with intonation, which is still not perfect, oiled the fret board, etc) but I think it's going back. I really want to like this guitar but it is not fun to play and sounds cheap. No fret sprouting for me but the top of the frets are all super rough and scrape against the string bends. Bummer.

      I had a player series strat, hss plus top. Don’t recall the frets having bad ends but they were not level. I put more relief in the neck and raised the saddles fairly high, higher action than I would prefer and had a lot of random frets buzzing from 12th fret and higher. Ended up getting rid of it for a good deal on a USA G&L Legacy and this one feels so much better. Also not a fan of the tremolo especially compared to G&Ls

    Great video mate. I'm here in Burbank Ca. I payed $700 for a MIM Deluxe Nashville Telecaster. The fret ends were ok. Not great but. The Best MIM's I bought used for $300 Both 2002's one's a Classic 60's my brother (Bless his Heart) paid $750 with case & let me get away with it for only $300. The other is a Royal Blue Satin Series. The finish is like a sand blasted feel. Holds no finger prints. Fret ends were pretty good on the 2002's, oh how thing's have changed? No sir Your lucky to have a Great Team for Fret end Discernment 😕. I would love to find a Jaguar Guitar for $300? Japanese probably much more? to go with the Squire 5 string vm Jaguar Bass I luckily got for $199 in Transparent Red open box off Reverb. I'll see if I can find a MIJ Jaguar that won't cost $1000? Thank's for your insight. Happy New Year from Across the Pond.

    i’m stuck between the fender player jaguar and the squier jaguar and based on my situation i really don’t know what to go with. i’m willing to pay extra for more features and better quality but i’m not sure how different they actually are.

    • @LordFuzzman
      @LordFuzzman  3 года назад

      Hi Rachel, personally I don’t believe the player Jaguar is worth the extra money. The quality really isn’t much better. The main issues with Jaguars as a beginner is that they really need setting up properly to play nicely. The majority of the time they are not set up properly from the factory and people have issues with the bridge mainly. They are kinda something you have to work at but end up loving. You don’t really get this with other guitar but it’s down to the old design I guess. If you are a beginner and looking at a short scale offset similar to the Jaguar. Maybe consider the Squier mustang ?

    Is there a squire jazz or jag model you (or anyone) would recommend over these player series ? I’ve played the j mascis jazz and for me the neck was too wide, but I’ve always wanted decent offset body fender and I’ve looked at a lot of models in the sub $750 range.

    This is the second video I've heard about the fret finishing problem. This video shows the same issue. I wonder if its a quality control problem. ruclips.net/video/WOd2S_bfbSY/видео.html

      Matt DeLand - Yeah it’s def QC, it’s really common on Mexican guitars in particular the player series. Squier almost always has a better fret finish. It’s not that difficult to sort out yourself but that’s not the point. Hope the feedback gets back to them eventually.

    I guess you think Jag classic player is much better... Unfortunately I always heard reviews with a so fuzzy sound that I think you can't find strat clean sounds on it, or anyway use it properely even just for clean sounds, it seems to be a more "for distorted use" guitar... Can u confirm this or not? Thanx in advance.
