Fender Jagmaster Reviews2 Found On 2003-01-30, jassion gave this Fender Electric Guitar a 4...(4281)
Purchase: Looking for a Jagstang I came across the Jagmaster at Guitar Center. I paid about $200 for it.
Pros: Very nice tone for the low price. THe vintage body shape is a more attractive looking instrument. THe low action makes it one of the most playable instruments I've ever picked up. THe neck is the perfect width my playing style. I play all different styles of rock, from grunge to more classic varieties. For me this guitar is versatile enough for all those. I just change out the pedals. I use a Marshall MG15CDR practice amp and this guitar sounds great through it.
Cons: It is a little heavy, and the GHS boomers that it came fitted with don't seem to compliment the guitars overall sound. I'm putting heavy gauge Fender bullets on it to see how those work. It's not designed for Van Halen style bar drops, so if that's what your looking for this isn't it.
Quality: Body is silversparkle alder, rosewood fret board. Factory strings are not really compatible with this guitar. Sealed tuners. With two humbuckers. Summary: I would recommend this guitar for any beginning or intermediate player who is looking for a higher quality axe for a low price. I've owned one other squier and from that experience I was a little on the wary side about it at first, but squier came through this time.

Purchase: I bought this at Mars Music Center in West palm Beach for about $240.
Pros: There is a lot to like about this guitar, keeping in mind that it is designed as a lower-end begginner guitar. The jaguar shaped body and sparkle silver finish were the first things i liked. I also like that ut was made of alder. I also liked the dual humbuckers that supply plenty tone and playing high notes on the neck pickup coupled with some distortion prvoides a really cool sound.
Cons: I was not particularly impressed with the size of the neck (a little too large for a beginner guitar)< and the action was pretty high (i lowered it to a suitable level without any fret buzz< so that really wasnt a problem)
Quality: From my experiences so far, it is constructed pretty well. Ive hit the headstock numerous times without it showing, ive dropped in on a rug over tile, brought it on road trips with blankets, backpacks on top of it, and only have one small nick that cant be seen when playing. Summary: It is a nice beginner guitar that is a step away from the "Your'e a beginner? Get a Squire strat" stereotype. I have played on a squire strat and this has better tonal coverage.
