Jaguar. Opinions?

[bdunlap]

I'm gassing pretty hard for a Jaguar reissue, might have something to do with the Placebo fix I've been on lately. How do they play with your fuzzes? Good clean tone? How about some distortion?

JAGUARS ARE AWESOME AND YOU SHOULD GET ONE.

Inferior to Thundercats.

BUUUUUT, what isn't.

jaguars used to be the cheap guitars nobody wanted. now that ppl want them. i'm basically searching for the cheap guitars nobody wants. same thing goes w/ synthesizers. pedals. et cetera.

i still would like to have a Jag HH. but even if i can get one used its still like way more than i've personally ever paid, or want to pay, for a guitar.

I cant tell you about the re-issues but back in the dark ages I got this for a moderate price..



L series ´64

If you want a wall of noise, save some cash and go for one...

[Nychthemeron]

That is a well loved Jaguar. Wish I had the luck to find one, but I dread going to the pawnshops around here.

jaguars are awesome guitars
so are jazzys

i personally like jazzys

placebo also rock

its a win win

dont get the classic players one
great pickups in them
unko neck though and the trem thing was a fail

[theshoegazer]

The guitarist/singer in my band was a sexeh white one with humbuckers. Its sounds pretty lovely. I think I have a pic somewheres....

Found it.

I have a classic players jazzmaster (played the jaguar too) and love it... one of the main reasons is the neck and the fact the bridge has no problems compared to the original bridge! the "trem thing" is far from a fail...

Only problem with them for people who are used to the older tremolo units is the trem. arm, its a bit lower than the MIJ and AVRI and my mate who has a MIJ always complains its too low for him to play glide with.. although i find it pretty good... probably what you're used to i guess.

There's a bound and blocked CAR Jag at the local GC. $2000.

[floating opera]

Devi has a RI. the black one i want.

[smile_man]

I don't like Jaguars with humbuckers. I also recently discovered that I don't like playing glide guitar.

[Noise...]

Do it.

FWIW, every one of my demos is my Jaguar. I took one of those CIJ Special HH's, took out the HB's and the JagBlaster pickguard, replaced with Jag Single Coils, and added a Bigsby with a Vibramate.

It's like my dream guitar now. All I need is a tort pickguard, as I've gotten a bit bored with the aged pearloid that's on it.

[Gilmourish]

that is a lovely lovely jag... congrats.
