Fender Jaguar Reviews5 Found On 2004-05-01, Brent gave this Fender Electric Guitar a 5...(8805)
Purchase: I first read about the jag on the fender website, then i researched it, and found one on ebay and managed to get it for $500. I guess it was hot.
Pros: Where to start, well, the colors that come with it are awesome. The tone is even better, nice and twangy. I also like that you have complete control over the pickups and their volume with the guitar, which is really cool.
Cons: There are exactly 2 things i would change about this guitar. 1, it is kind of heavy, but its not heavy to stop people from buying it heavy. 2, the bridge is a real pain, just get the lighter gauge strings, and you should wipe out that problem.
Quality: Well, i bought it damaged new. And it sounds way better than any guitar i have played undamaged new. Again, the bridge stuff kind of gets loose, but it only gets in the way of palm muting. So, its no big problem if you are just playing like a 6 hour gig. (who plays gigs longer than 2 hours though?) Summary: Bottom line, get this guitar if you like twangy noise. But let me go further, if you are considering not buying the guitar because its production was so short, let me enlighten you. They quit making it because people like Hendrix and Buddy Guy were all using the strats, and the strats were selling. Then, the 70s came, and surf music was completly wiped off the charts, so the jag was really not selling. It was a marketing reason why they dropped it and not a technical reason, so again, GET THIS GUITAR, IT ROCKS!

Purchase: I got this guitar from www.GuitarStrings.co.uk for a very reasonable price of £500. I got it because I love the shape and the style of the jaguar.
Pros: There are tons of things i like about this guitar! Firstly I love the shape (as i said already). Its so retro but classic at the same time. I love the playability of it. Its so easy to pick up and play. Another thing I love about it (that I was surprised by) was the weight. Its very light yet it looks chunky. Yet another plus about it.
Cons: The only thing I dont like about the guitar ( emphesis on "only") is the fact that the knobs and things arent labeled. I suppose if they were, it might take away the atractiveness of the guitar but it would make it a whole lot easier to get the sound you want. Theres so many little things, you dont now what to do.
Quality: The construction of it is great. Very nicely held together except form the one flaw. The whammy bar thats connected to the bridge falls out! Its not connected by twisting it like a strat, it just slots in. This isnt really a porblem to most people though. The quality is fantastic. Summary: This is an amazing guitar thats very worth considering buying. It plays fantastically, its light and it looks impressive too!

Pros: the look of ths guitar is stunning especially in sea foam green umm it looks nice hardware and ummmm nothing else
Cons: the action is far to high, this guitar hardly sustains at all, the hardware feels cheap, the bridge is built poorly, jack lead cable loosens easy, screws in bridge undo when playing, very heavy, the tremolo system
Quality: the construction of this guitar is very poor, the bridge the hardware, the tremolo system (actually caved in when i played it) the hardware of this guitar is rubbish feels really cheap and tacky Summary: i would almost beg u 2 not but htis guitar i was so un happy with it i managed to take it back and get a full refund, i spoke to fender and asked them why there were so many problems and they replied ( we ave taken the same design from the original in 1962)and there not gunna change it . please dont but it save a couple hundred quis and but a strat or les paul cant go wrong there

Purchase: Well the fender jaguar,what can i say... Well i paid £569 for it at my local store and i have to say it is a great guitar.
Pros: The tone is brilliant,you can go from rock to a blues tone.im glad there is gut switches and the rollers cause it is easy to get good sound easily,its better than the strat versions or les pauls.One of the main reasons i got the jaguar was that 1.Kurt Cobain used it and i love grunge and 2.the colour!!! The candy apple red is so nice but the 3 tone sunburst with the pearloid scratch plate,so nice!!the guitar looks cool as the butt of it stands out so it is unique to have one.
Cons: The down side to it is the weight,at first it is ok but if you play an hour set at a town hall like me and my band do it gets your back a bit sore,even worse when you jump up and down and into the drumkit!!
Quality: This guitar is a well built guitar with a really good feel.it is so easy and comfortable to play and you will never want to set it down!!It is a brilliant guitar Summary: This is the guitar to have.look what i wrote above.its easy to play and worth every penny.you have to get it.please get it.you will love it as soon as you touch it..Well im going to play my jaguar and hope you take my advice and get one!!

Purchase: This guitar was bought in my local music store. It was a gift and I believe it cost between £700-£800 pounds.
Pros: I love almost everything about this guitar. I am a big Nirvana fan and I know Kurt Cobain used Jags a lot. I have only played guitar for about a year and I am in love with them all. If I had to pick what I like most it is the Knobs and switches on the body they provide you with a selection of tones which of course is great. I had a cheap Squire Strat before this and I hated the layout on it because I always hit the selector switch on the body but not any more because the Jag has the switch on the top.
Hooray!!
Cons: The only thing I dont like about this guitar is the tremolo arm which always falls out because it doesn't seem to screw in but I dont use it much anyways so it's not my biggest worry!
Quality: Quality was great not a scratch. Summary: Great guitar, Great price, Great quality so go out and try it.
