@Trogly How about PLEASE doing a review on the new model for Fender. The Player Plus Meteor HH in Silverburst with humbuckers the can be coil split. WOUL LOVE TO SEE YOU DO THAT.
Trogly, I would love to see a review of the Epiphone prophecy Les Paul in olive tiger. I bought one and was blown away by it. You are awesome. Look forward to every video.
The bridge must rock. I'm sure a lot of offset folks are chiming in. But the basic idea is this: Fender offsets are deceptively brilliant. They're deceptive because there's nothing intuitive about the design choices. You actually need to do a bit of studying to understand how everything is meant to work - to set it up to do all the amazing things Leo came up with. By contrast, a Tele couldn't be simpler to figure out, and a Strat isn't much harder (except to set up the floating trem). If you get one of these, you owe it to yourself to go through Puisheen's channel here on YT - the world expert on Fender offsets - and find out exactly how to tune one these things up to be the space rocket Leo envisioned.
The rhythm circuit employs a 50K Linear pot for tone, and a 1M Linear for volume. The lead circuit uses 1M Audio pots for both volume and tone. This means that even though you can isolate the neck pickup in the lead circuit, the rhythm circuit is able to achieve an even warmer tone.
@@justinguitarcia Yeah I find the rhythm circuit standard wiring a bit limiting too so I built my Marauder with 2 Jazzmaster pickups and a lipstick in the middle. Added an extra vol pot. So rhythm plate has vol for middle pickup and rhythm tone. Main plate has "normal" tone with a push-push pot with 2 value caps. Pickup selector plate is wired to be switchable between the two tone pots so you can get rhythm/lead on all pickups.
I absolutely love the harmonics from the strings ringing out behind the bridge! I just happen to be a fan and friend of Puisheen (Mike Adams) here on youtube and he has such a unique playing style with playing behind the bridge of offsets.
After years of playing a Jag as my #1 (and guitar love of my life) the rhythm/lead switching became so integral for me that I miss it on any other guitar. I can choose the exact level of brightness I need for the song at hand, from very dark and full to really bity and sharp, and you always have two different dialed-in sounds at hand. I’m switching between them in almost every song. So while it may seem complicated at first, it really becomes a powerful tool when you’re used to it.
The wobble in the bridge is part of the design, it works in lieu of having roller saddles in the bridge. The whole bridge rolls forward and back when you use the whammy bar. The Allen screws in the bridge posts, for bridge height adjustment, are somewhat pointed on the bottom end, which works like the knife edge pivot in a strat trem, and are suppose to return the bridge to a neutral position.
fyi, the stopper on the tailpiece isn't designed for a "down-only" synchronous vibrato. It's actually designed as a rescue switch for breaking a string. It's supposed to be setup such that, when you slide that slide, you hear nothing colliding with the metal tab underneath the plate, but also it doesn't make the arm move at all either. It needs to slide in perfectly flush with the adjoining tab. When this equilibrium is right, if you break a string, and slide the switch, the rest of the strings stay in tune...in theory. Most people never use it that way, but the Jaguar was designed to float. Keeping that switch down doesn't make it any more stable if the float is set up right.
If you are getting into Jaguars, check out the Johnny Marr signature… he made a bunch of mods to one he bought, and Fender heard about it and offered to copy it as his signature model. He actually plays 4 of them on the road (two have sustainer circuits), he just sanded off his name because it felt too weird playing a guitar with his name on it. Edit: traditionally, all the pots should be 1M, 1 megaohm, that’s what gives them their unique tone (the tone caps are different between the two circuits.)
@@russellzauner about 10-ish years back they did the “Pawn shop” series, and one of then is a reverse Jaguar bass. It looks… odd. (There’s also a Mustang gutiar and bass with Wide Range humbuckers, and a Bass IV with a Jazzmaster bridge humbucker)
Oh man, the sympathetic noises behind the bridge are part of the jag experience. I don't think this is the right guitar for you. Playing behind the bridge cane be a lot of fun too.
Thank you for this review (one year out, no less). That crack is typical of at least something wrong with seemingly almost every Fender, regardless of model....never fails. Mine, new out of the box, arrived with topside fret's that bit so bad, I couldnt play it. I had to do a fret dressing and on a few of the frets, I had to file. And this, from an American made stick. That is a shame. Thank you again for your review, I know you are mainly a Gibson guy, but your reviews are great and I enjoy you Fender reviews.👍🎸
@@Wolf_K i took a gamble and bought a jazzmaster. So far im not sure how I feel. the tremolo seems to be really subtle but i also don't know how to use it well.
I think you should still use the Deluxe Reverb for guitars like this. You said you weren't the biggest fan of its tone and my Jaguar never agreed with my Marshall either. But when I got a chance to try one with a Vox AC15 at a guitar store it was awesome. And then obviously they're known to go well with Fender amps.
Was thinking it would be useful to have it noted during the video which amp is being used. Part of why 60 Cycle Hum works well is you get to know his tone from different amps as a baseline to know how things sound different. I disagree though, I thought the tone on this video was nice! But perhaps Deluxe Reverb for cleans and Marshall for distorted tones would be good going forward.
@@ThatMattGoodMusic Yeah, I should clarify that I didn't have any issues with it. Just figuring he might like it better through something else given his note at the end that he wasn't a huge fan.
I got lucky also to get this exact same model, the blue is FANTASTIC. it sounds amazing, it's beautiful and it's so comfortable and such a great feeling. Congrats on the show. I also tought about the same with the mute, but I like reggae and ska music it's nice for that.
I’m sure someone probably already pointed this out, but I think you got that backwards when describing how the rhythm circuit worked during the tear down part. When the rhy/lead selector switch is up that’s when the rhythm circuit is selected and is ON, everything on the top part only uses the neck pickup, and the 1meg Vol and 50K tone slider knobs, and everything else on the bottom part is disabled. When the rhy/lead selector switch is down that’s when the lead circuit is selected and is ON, and it uses the two pickup selector switches, strangle switch, and the regular 1meg master vol and 1meg master tone knobs, and everything else on the top is disabled. The metal claw on Jaguar pickups also doesn’t have anything to do with reducing the 50/60 cycle hum from single coils, and it certainly doesn’t help with that, but it was originally intended to supposedly help direct or focus the magnetic field of the alnico pole pieces.
When you get one, you’ll figure it all out quickly. Whenever I sit down to play my Jag, I can go for hours because it’s so easy to play and endlessly versatile.
I just got a LesPaul Standard 50's from Sweetwater. It was a special run they ordered with AAA flamed top and 57 Classic pickups. It is amazing and sounds better than it looks . and it looks beautiful, the top looks so good in Cherry Sunburst finish. They also gave me a 15% discount . Go Sweetwater !
Something besides Les Paul!! It's a big world out there. Gibson, Fender, Gretsch, Guild, Ibanez, Yamaha, hey try Mosrite! I'm the last guy to bad mouth Trogly's. Always a gentleman. No ranting etc.. I love this channel.
Fender Jaguars are interesting beasts, for sure. Not my favorite guitars, but this one sounded quite good. I don’t like the 24” scale either, but Jags and Jazzmasters were designed to be used with heavier strings (a normal set in the early ‘60s would have been .012”-.054” with a wound G string), often flatwounds, which would mellow out the tone considerably and reduce the floppy feel of light strings on a short scale. If I had a Jaguar I wouldn’t string it with anything lighter than .011”s. I don’t care for the mute either-the heel of my hand works just fine. A lot of surf bands used Jaguars, but the British Invasion from ‘64 on kind of killed that. Although the guitar sound on Herman’s Hermits’ Mrs. Brown You’ve Got A Lovely Daughter sure sounds like a Jag with the mute on! One of the more unusual Jaguars from the ‘60s was a black one with gold hardware and the name Conrad Birdie painted on in gold, made for the movie Bye Bye Birdie in 1963. I don’t think the actor who played Conrad Birdie played guitar, but it sure was a cool prop! And the neck binding came in about ‘66, the block inlays in ‘67, only used on Jaguars, Jazzmasters, Electric XIIs, Bass VIs, and Jazz Basses. I’ve always liked that look, but it came along at a time when Fender’s quality was starting to deteriorate.
That one follows tradition precisely, although back in the day, custom colors were very rare, and the ones you did see almost always came with the white pickguard. All basses, Strats, and Jazzmasters/Jaguars were sunburst; any other colors had to be special-ordered, unless you were a Southern California surf band or a national instro act. Offset Fenders were more or less the Sacred White Buffalo of my long-ago teens, and it's nice to see them getting some respect ! Great vid (like always) and kudos to Sweetwater for sponsoring the channel.
I had a '62 reissue Jag at one point. It was a beautiful guitar but I couldn't get along with the bridge (which I guess I could have replaced with a Mastery bridge) and the scale length. In the end it just wasn't for me.
You were on your A game from the moment the video started. One of your best episodes. Don't increase Fender vids just because of the success of this video lol. This video will be successful because it was quality.
If I were Trogly, I would keep this guitar because they went out in production of the 60th Anniversary Jaguar. Imm my Btw I really love that blue color, the matching headstock, and even the rosewood.
The loose wire close to bridge grounds the pick guard when screwed down all the way metal taped pg comes into contact(completes loop). Works well, mine is silent(SS config)
That’s a cool looking guitar 🎸! I don’t know how it sounds or plays but I’m counting on you to find that out. You thoroughly check out each model so I find out what the story really is. I learn alot in the process, too. You’re the best! Thanks, Man! 👏🏻🎸😎
I’m sorta like a Jag expert.. I’ve had my 63’ since the mid 60’s in which I purchased it with a paper route and promptly joined a surf band in The OC..I never used my Mute and just screwed it down right to the body.. and threw away that lame bridge.. installed a Mustang bridge and never looked back.. it’s a Oly white with matching headstock that over the decades has turned a wonderful cream color but still Oly white under the guard.. I also have a late 65’ without those fugly block inlays and without the doupy F tuners.. it still has the Kluson double lines.. from 66’ on they just killed this guitar.. along with Jimi H!! I must add these guitars NEED REVERB TROGS!!
I love Jaguars. As a smaller guy the short scale length has always been a plus for me, and they absolutely LOVE heavier string gauges. Properly set up they have what is, imo, the best of the "classic" trem systems & on top of that they just look and sound awesome. Super comfortable body shape & they have a touch of that crazy 60s japanese guitar thing with the mountain of switches and rollers. If only I had the income to afford one of these.
I am glad i pre-ordered one since they look like they won't be around for long. I had been interested in a matching headstock jaguar in nitro and there aren't that many options for the price point. Only thing that annoys me so far is the "shedding" of the case interior.
At the present time only 250 Red and 250 Blue have been and so far will be produced. So hold on to them if you were lucky enough to purchase one.The value has only one direction to go..Up!!
It’s a cool looking Model but it sounds too metallic for my taste. I prefer the warmer sounds of a Fender Strat! Thanks for demonstrating it though so I can hear it. 👏🏻🎸😎
The bridge is supposed to ock back and forth by design, not be fixed. Trust Leo Fender's design. Jaguar/Jazzmasters tremolo systems are the best ever made.
Always thought Jags were awsome , Unfortunately I cannot play guitar anymore due to left fingers are numb/ tingling The reason is M.S. which causes short circuits in the Nervous system, every part of the body works by Nerves & Muscles, I added this incase anyone was wondering, left arm and left leg are Affected also But playing bass is fine which is what I played before changing to Lead 24 yrs with it and No change , No progression. For those who have M.S. I feel your pain but hang in there
I've had great luck taking D3 supplements. My flare ups aren't as frequent and my fingers feel good enough to play. Hope you find something that works for you
They did the same thing with the 62 Les Paul which became as we all know the SG. You seethe 61 reissues everywhere and even a 64 Reissue. But no 62. I'm sure there must've been a little something different in that period . If you remove the mute from the Jag and cant find and spacers I believe I saw at harbor freight you can buy a box of assorted neoprene sealed and spacers that should have something close. I've bought a few medium level guitars and as you know at least a couple low end guitars from you and elsewhere. I've noticed that most of the time the medium level and higher play great even not having been set up. But I suggest those get a set up for several reasons including checking the neck and hardware not to mention other issues that on a low end guitar usually aren't to critical. Set up sometimes will let you know if you have a warranty issue. Most of the my low end guitars I've played with just tuning and no setup and was okay. Mind you all the reasons to set up higher end guitars cant hurt on the low end models. Along with all that I've seen a great improvement across different brands as far as basic amenities to hardware and pickups. Also there just as fun to play as the upper level models and you don't have to worry about bumps and dings especially if you hand it to someone else to play . That's actually how most of the dings arrived on some of my older axes. The borrowing guitarist first thing they do is slam it against another hard object or stand it precariously against the amp or a chair leaving it to gravity to give you some nice wear marks touch hadn't wanted. The choke sort of sounds like a light amount of natural flange added when activated. Mrs Brown you got a lovely daughter Herman's Hermits is the sing you're thinking of. I just ordered a Stratocaster Contemporary. Watched the demo and liked the tone options plus the offset middle pickup . Should have it around Monday. Just saw a new model Jaguar with the reverse headstock.
I like the blue but for some reason I’ve never been a fan of a matching headstock on a jag, on a mustang I think it looks dope ...still a beautiful guitar though
That mute on the guitar 🎸 makes sound like The Carrs .fender sound that is good seems like a great price a nicer flame maple neck with dark ebony fret board locking tuners chrome and 22 stainless steel frets compound radious I love the blue 💙.!!
I know you’re a Gibson guy and I love you videos!! I just saw cheap trick live and noticed Tom Peterson was playing a 12 string bass could you maybe do a deeper dive into his bass?
Despite the fact that Fender is such a large force in the guitar industry, it's nice to see $2500 will take you a lot further with them then it will most of the other major players of solid body electrics.
Hi trogly. Do you recommend Sweetwater to ship to Canada? I've had a couple bad experiences with Long and McQuaid in Canada and don't want to give anymore money to their exceptionally rude employees.
I have one of these, I bought it new last November and initially it had a few issues that I got sorted out as quickly as I could but even so there's one quirk to mine that I have yet to see on any others, instead of the big fender logo on the front of the case it's got a rivet tag on the lip, but still has the 60th anniversary logo embroidered inside, so if you're here and reading this and also have a different logo than the one shown here lmk, I'm curious Also I recently learned that these are crazy rare, there are fewer of each color than there were nocasters
I liked the jag but it looked to me like something was missing, I mean like the guitars of the 60's; Fenders made these look just like the guitars of that time. there were alot of china made guitars flooding the market and there was some wild looking ones to. but this one caught my eye.i still think there should be 3 pickups on it and no confusing switches but I like it and would buy one, love (so sexy) color sparkle blue is amazing. but I still like the one with the Humbuckers on it better. the sound and tones was wonderful and looked gorgeous too. thank you for the great video. have a Blessed day my friend.🤓👍
Sweetwater is the best - Looking at my rep Zack McChord ;) - The service they give is just top notch. Had an amp go bad 3 months after purchase from them, they paid shipping both ways and fixed it in a week! All because I purchased it from them! They really stand behind that 2yr warranty!
I’m so mad that I missed the chance to get one of these. The first I heard of these was only April 14th, and they are ALREADY sold out!? I get it fender, it’s a limited edition but sheesh selling out in a week (or so)?
The mutes were the era of surf rock. Most people didn’t use them or took them off like all fender chrome ashtray covers back then. They sound ok. But not amazing or special.
Hey Trog, really enjoyed this video! I Love Fenders, even though I’m building a hollow body Les Paul kit right now! Thx 4 another Deep Dive! Your channel is the most best’es! 💥💥👍🤙
Part of me understands how come punk rockers started embracing models like this one when the genre first emerged. It definitely has its place in that category of music. Whole portions of the original punk rock scene came from surf music, the genre where this particular model originally found a home. Fender never designed a 12 string edition of the Jaguar, did they? Imagine the fun you could have with the rhythm circuit if it were a 12 string!
I think the punk ,and indie people used jags n jazzmasters because of their price. Strats and teles always cost hundreds of dollars more,so they got what they could afford.I could always be wrong though.
That is a beautiful, beautiful sweet tone....but Trogly, it's a Jaguar not a Ibanez. It needs to be dripping with reverb, echo, delay and chorus not distortion. 😊
Well that's a nice looking guitar for sure seems well made too for a fender. Never liked the twangy sound. These were beach party movie guitars from the 60s I watched. They had there place in music history but not for me. So complicated I'm a simple les Paul player two volume two tones and pickup selector. Thanks for posting
Holy crap! I've never played a Jag for more than a minute or two, though I've always wanted one. Now that I know what's up with that mute thing I want one even more! Why did everyone take those off?!? I'd definitely use that mute. It's like having a built in pedal. I ain't payin' no $2500 though, as beautiful as that thing is. Probably a CV or something from China for me.

That one follows tradition precisely, although back in the day, custom colors were very rare, and the ones you did see almost always came with the white pickguard. All basses, Strats, and Jazzmasters/Jaguars were sunburst; any other colors had to be special-ordered, unless you were a Southern California surf band or a national instro act. Offset Fenders were more or less the Sacred White Buffalo of my long-ago teens, and it's nice to see them getting some respect ! Great vid (like always) and kudos to Sweetwater for sponsoring the channel.
I’ve got a 90s jaguar in that exact color I traded years ago for amp to friend. It’s still one of my favorite guitars.
the claw is supposed to help increase output and change the magnetic field as well, but i don't really know if it actually does much lol
I had a '62 reissue Jag at one point. It was a beautiful guitar but I couldn't get along with the bridge (which I guess I could have replaced with a Mastery bridge) and the scale length. In the end it just wasn't for me.
You were on your A game from the moment the video started. One of your best episodes. Don't increase Fender vids just because of the success of this video lol. This video will be successful because it was quality.
If I were Trogly, I would keep this guitar because they went out in production of the 60th Anniversary Jaguar. Imm my Btw I really love that blue color, the matching headstock, and even the rosewood.
So glad to see some fenders!
The loose wire close to bridge grounds the pick guard when screwed down all the way metal taped pg comes into contact(completes loop). Works well, mine is silent(SS config)
That’s a cool looking guitar 🎸! I don’t know how it sounds or plays but I’m counting on you to find that out. You thoroughly check out each model so I find out what the story really is. I learn alot in the process, too. You’re the best!
Thanks, Man!
👏🏻🎸😎
I’m sorta like a Jag expert.. I’ve had my 63’ since the mid 60’s in which I purchased it with a paper route and promptly joined a surf band in The OC..I never used my Mute and just screwed it down right to the body.. and threw away that lame bridge.. installed a Mustang bridge and never looked back.. it’s a Oly white with matching headstock that over the decades has turned a wonderful cream color but still Oly white under the guard.. I also have a late 65’ without those fugly block inlays and without the doupy F tuners.. it still has the Kluson double lines.. from 66’ on they just killed this guitar.. along with Jimi H!! I must add these guitars NEED REVERB TROGS!!
The mute was good for Herman's Hermits mrs. Brown you got a lovely daughter
So, you have two?
Hi Austin, you may want to add a reverb pedal to your toy-box for the Fender demos since they make “surf tones” so well.
Would love to see you compare and hear your take on the offsets including the new squier and old j. Mascis.
I love Jaguars. As a smaller guy the short scale length has always been a plus for me, and they absolutely LOVE heavier string gauges. Properly set up they have what is, imo, the best of the "classic" trem systems & on top of that they just look and sound awesome. Super comfortable body shape & they have a touch of that crazy 60s japanese guitar thing with the mountain of switches and rollers. If only I had the income to afford one of these.
What's really cool about the finish is that the "metal flake" is so finely done, you almost don't notice it at first. That case is cool too.
I am glad i pre-ordered one since they look like they won't be around for long. I had been interested in a matching headstock jaguar in nitro and there aren't that many options for the price point. Only thing that annoys me so far is the "shedding" of the case interior.
At the present time only 250 Red and 250 Blue have been and so far will be produced.
So hold on to them if you were lucky enough to purchase one.The value has only one direction to go..Up!!
Would love to see you review the Kramer Baretta special or Baretta
A double humbucker would be cool. There is a pink squire I like a lot. I'll just take a 3 way switch and no mute though. Shapes cool
It’s a cool looking Model but it sounds too metallic for my taste. I prefer the warmer sounds of a Fender Strat! Thanks for demonstrating it though so I can hear it.
👏🏻🎸😎
Never had a Jag but always loved the look of them and this one just sends it over the top for me it's absolutely beautiful. 😍
The bridge is supposed to ock back and forth by design, not be fixed. Trust Leo Fender's design. Jaguar/Jazzmasters tremolo systems are the best ever made.
Thank you for finally documenting a traditional jaguar
Always thought Jags were awsome ,
Unfortunately I cannot play guitar anymore due to left fingers are numb/ tingling
The reason is M.S. which causes short circuits in the Nervous system, every part of the body works by Nerves & Muscles, I added this incase anyone was wondering, left arm and left leg are Affected also
But playing bass is fine which is what I played before changing to Lead
24 yrs with it and No change , No progression.
For those who have M.S. I feel your pain but hang in there
I've had great luck taking D3 supplements. My flare ups aren't as frequent and my fingers feel good enough to play. Hope you find something that works for you
@@patrickdolan.
I will have to check D3 supplements out ,
REALLY GLAD there helping you
Which Fender case did it come with?
They did the same thing with the 62 Les Paul which became as we all know the SG. You seethe 61 reissues everywhere and even a 64 Reissue. But no 62. I'm sure there must've been a little something different in that period . If you remove the mute from the Jag and cant find and spacers I believe I saw at harbor freight you can buy a box of assorted neoprene sealed and spacers that should have something close. I've bought a few medium level guitars and as you know at least a couple low end guitars from you and elsewhere. I've noticed that most of the time the medium level and higher play great even not having been set up. But I suggest those get a set up for several reasons including checking the neck and hardware not to mention other issues that on a low end guitar usually aren't to critical. Set up sometimes will let you know if you have a warranty issue. Most of the my low end guitars I've played with just tuning and no setup and was okay. Mind you all the reasons to set up higher end guitars cant hurt on the low end models. Along with all that I've seen a great improvement across different brands as far as basic amenities to hardware and pickups. Also there just as fun to play as the upper level models and you don't have to worry about bumps and dings especially if you hand it to someone else to play . That's actually how most of the dings arrived on some of my older axes. The borrowing guitarist first thing they do is slam it against another hard object or stand it precariously against the amp or a chair leaving it to gravity to give you some nice wear marks touch hadn't wanted. The choke sort of sounds like a light amount of natural flange added when activated. Mrs Brown you got a lovely daughter Herman's Hermits is the sing you're thinking of. I just ordered a Stratocaster Contemporary. Watched the demo and liked the tone options plus the offset middle pickup . Should have it around Monday. Just saw a new model Jaguar with the reverse headstock.
The 1960's muted song you played was "Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" by Herman's Hermits. I believe the guitarist was the famous Vic Flick.
Trogly's in the HOUSE!!!
Greg is in the HOUSE
Greg in the house
Fenders best designed but most misunderstood guitar
This limited edition is a limited edition. What an odd complaint to make.
I like the blue but for some reason I’ve never been a fan of a matching headstock on a jag, on a mustang I think it looks dope ...still a beautiful guitar though
That mute on the guitar 🎸 makes sound like The Carrs .fender sound that is good seems like a great price a nicer flame maple neck with dark ebony fret board locking tuners chrome and 22 stainless steel frets compound radious I love the blue 💙.!!
I know you’re a Gibson guy and I love you videos!! I just saw cheap trick live and noticed Tom Peterson was playing a 12 string bass could you maybe do a deeper dive into his bass?
That fretboard is delicious. Crazy-great tones. A true Rhythm-master.
Thanks. Did not know about discontinuing this so soon.
Similar to the Fender V I bass in body
Which is basically a piccolo bass
Strings are an Octave higher than standard bass strings
Despite the fact that Fender is such a large force in the guitar industry, it's nice to see $2500 will take you a lot further with them then it will most of the other major players of solid body electrics.
Hi trogly. Do you recommend Sweetwater to ship to Canada?
I've had a couple bad experiences with Long and McQuaid in Canada and don't want to give anymore money to their exceptionally rude employees.
I have one of these, I bought it new last November and initially it had a few issues that I got sorted out as quickly as I could but even so there's one quirk to mine that I have yet to see on any others, instead of the big fender logo on the front of the case it's got a rivet tag on the lip, but still has the 60th anniversary logo embroidered inside, so if you're here and reading this and also have a different logo than the one shown here lmk, I'm curious
Also I recently learned that these are crazy rare, there are fewer of each color than there were nocasters
Beautiful Guitar! Love the blue color. Thank you for posting this. Cool!!
Beautiful guitar. I think the Fender Mute would be really helpful for playing slide.
These are one of the tempting ones for me for sure.
Man, I'm jealous over here, that is one SEXY Jag. The blue looks totally awesome.
I liked the jag but it looked to me like something was missing, I mean like the guitars of the 60's; Fenders made these look just like the guitars of that time. there were alot of china made guitars flooding the market and there was some wild looking ones to. but this one caught my eye.i still think there should be 3 pickups on it and no confusing switches but I like it and would buy one, love (so sexy) color sparkle blue is amazing. but I still like the one with the Humbuckers on it better. the sound and tones was wonderful and looked gorgeous too. thank you for the great video. have a Blessed day my friend.🤓👍
Alternative title: Listen to some guy mispronounce jaguar for half an hour
i love watching videos right as they come out, apparently this video has 10 views and 19 likes
So you weren't first?
I hit like before I watch on his videos because I appreciate him posting everyday
Never messed around with one. I'd try one out though. No fear.
Sweetwater is the best - Looking at my rep Zack McChord ;) - The service they give is just top notch. Had an amp go bad 3 months after purchase from them, they paid shipping both ways and fixed it in a week! All because I purchased it from them! They really stand behind that 2yr warranty!
I just got a lake placid blue Jaguar today - 50th anniversary
Austin are you selling this example? Don’t see it on you page
I think it takes him a couple of days to upload new guitars.
Blur - song 2 ? That was unexpected
FYI - There are quite a few of these guitars still available in the UK and EU. Would you recommend them as an investment?
I’m so mad that I missed the chance to get one of these. The first I heard of these was only April 14th, and they are ALREADY sold out!?
I get it fender, it’s a limited edition but sheesh selling out in a week (or so)?
My squire Jag is a beautiful Daphne blue. I call it my Cobain guitar
Love that color, my Harley Davidson is the same color.
That neck pocket crack is something you see on any fender if its been played more than 5 minutes.
One of these but in fiesta red is the dream
I’d flip the string mute to behind the bridge to quiet the string noise
What string noise
Beautiful guitar! If I hadn't just bought a tele pro 2 I'd probably would have pulled trigger
The mutes were the era of surf rock. Most people didn’t use them or took them off like all fender chrome ashtray covers back then. They sound ok. But not amazing or special.
Nice review and you really seemed to play it well. It suits you well.
Hey Trog, really enjoyed this video! I Love Fenders, even though I’m building a hollow body Les Paul kit right now!
Thx 4 another Deep Dive!
Your channel is the most best’es! 💥💥👍🤙
Part of me understands how come punk rockers started embracing models like this one when the genre first emerged. It definitely has its place in that category of music. Whole portions of the original punk rock scene came from surf music, the genre where this particular model originally found a home.
Fender never designed a 12 string edition of the Jaguar, did they? Imagine the fun you could have with the rhythm circuit if it were a 12 string!
I think the punk ,and indie people used jags n jazzmasters because of their price. Strats and teles always cost hundreds of dollars more,so they got what they could afford.I could always be wrong though.
@@jordanpratt3821 this man is correct
Fenders? Two days in a row? Oh man, have you gone to the dark side!?!?!?
It’s great!
Aged LPB is just gorgeous
Wow! What a beautiful Jaguar! I need one haha
There's a slightly different and more percussive mute sound when using the Fender mute vs palm mute.
This is one Gorgeous Guitar, Man!
BRILLIANT IDEA to rotate the mute!!!!!!!!!!
Was that "Mrs Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter"? It sounded cool.
That is a beautiful, beautiful sweet tone....but Trogly, it's a Jaguar not a Ibanez. It needs to be dripping with reverb, echo, delay and chorus not distortion. 😊
Ever played or owned a Nash Jaguar? I'm currently trying to decide between the two. Would love some insight!
Well that's a nice looking guitar for sure seems well made too for a fender. Never liked the twangy sound. These were beach party movie guitars from the 60s I watched. They had there place in music history but not for me. So complicated I'm a simple les Paul player two volume two tones and pickup selector. Thanks for posting
Open your mind a bit, dude
a jaguar has two pickups, two volumes & two tones as well!
"Well made for a fender" coming for a Gibson die hard 🤣
Beautiful Jaquar.
If they would have done a Chicago Music Exchange exclusive Pacific Peach one of these, I would have bought one immediately.
Holy crap! I've never played a Jag for more than a minute or two, though I've always wanted one. Now that I know what's up with that mute thing I want one even more! Why did everyone take those off?!? I'd definitely use that mute. It's like having a built in pedal. I ain't payin' no $2500 though, as beautiful as that thing is. Probably a CV or something from China for me.
It's a beautiful guitar, I wish I could get one in that colour!
Leo should have called this "The Rube". It's a bonafide Rube Goldberg guitar!
