DETAILED TIMELINE:

Sold my American Gibson and bought 2 Mexican Fenders last month. 1 telecaster and 1 Stratocaster. Best purchase decision I’ve had in a while.

[@joeferris5086]

The Mexican factory is apparently only 80 miles away from the American factory. Also, keep in mind the American factory, being that it's in southern California probably employs a mostly Hispanic staff anyway so it's not hard to imagine for me that the two would be comparable.

[@pascalf2253]

jaguar is more comfortable to play than stratocaster body to me

[@nunooliveira4257]

I hope you’re right, cause I just ordered that exact model for the same reasons you mentioned - before watching your video :). I just wonder if I’ll like the pick-ups, or if I’ll swap them for American ones, as Mexican pick-ups (and potenciometers) ususally sound dumber from my experience…

[@tunesmith7437]

There was a time when stuff made in "Japan" was pitiful (and not just with guitars). But by the Mid-1970's Japan stepped up its game (think of IBANEZ). I owned a couple of Ibanez "artist" models that I still wish I had NOW.

I keep hearing the Squier Classic Vibe series is Bad on Craftsmanship & Quality in material.. i want a jaguar, but i got everyone else's opinions on my mind

[@cosmiccomedy7394]

Jaguars don't get the love they deserve. Super versatile guitar and just cool as fuck

[@changestrangers]

The pau ferro fretboards though...

[@user-ok2jm5hf3o]

As far as I know, the upper switch is the kill switch, and lower ones are for 1.low cut 2.Bridge pickup on/off 3.Front pickup on/off.

Thanks for the video. Your Jag is BEAUTIFUL!!! I'm late to the party here, but just a couple of thoughts (I am a jaguar aficionado, but NOT an expert, so take my thoughts for what they worth). First, the MiM Jag is a bit different from the "traditional" jag, as far as I know. Mostly, the bridge is different (the traditional Jags had a floating Jaguar bridge or used a Mustang bridge, which I believe is also used on something like the Squier classic vibe series). Secondly, on that Mim Jag, it looks like the vibrato system is moved forward a bit closer to the bridge than on a traditional Jag. The bridge and the vibrato changes were (probably) done to put more downward pressure on the strings as they go over the bridge, without having to shim the neck / deal with the issues of a floating bridge. The traditional Jags have a floating bridge design and are pretty particular about the setup needed to get them to work well, and they generally work best with heavier strings, like .11 or .12's.

Glad to see another video!

I became obsessed with Jags after buying a Classic Vibe a coy of years ago. After realising jags were for me I traded it for a classic 60s lacquer Mexican. It’s astounding I keep picking a USA Johnny Marr model up in a shop near me but it just doesn’t feel as good as mine. Really enjoyed your playing very nice

[@areyoujelton]

That’s a sharp jag! I’ve got a Jazzmaster from the same series in Shell Pink. I’ve written so much with that guitar! Jags are probably my favorite right now though, the short scale is just so fast!

[@deadlegs187]

I have the HH classic player in Olympic white. That series has USA wiring. The neck is the best I've ever played.

[@xXxblackendeyesxXx]

My first electric guitar! I have a 2008 mim classic player in candy apple red. It's one of those guitars I'll never sell, the most precious guitar I've ever owned.

[@klonklone7787]

I have a fender Mexican made modified 50’s vintera Stratocaster & I love that damn thing

[@uitaeyoo9491]

I have a same one! Thanks for the informations.

[@ramonesaudibert]

I have a 2012 MIX CPS Jag too, that I’ve had since 2012. I’ve had many other guitars since then, but the Jag still is my favorite. There’s something really special about them.
