They look pretty cool, especially for the price. Don't know how they actually sound. Is it worth it?

Not the sexiest but it sounds great. I make it a point to play any guitar out of a Deville or some other nice Fender amp to get the sound I imagine they are "suppose" to sound like, which is subject. Then I play it out those practice amps that everyone makes. Marshall MGs, Peavey Vypyrs and that Acoustic line. It sounded good out of all of 'em. The P-90s sound how they should, which is also relevant to opinion, but in my opinion it was great. Chords are awesome on it...and something I read is that the lack of finish effects tonality, but I'm a bit skeptical, but it makes sense.

Try one out for sure. It's not a disappointing guitar. The hardtail thing is only a big deal if you absolutely need a vibrato. Most that bands I see playing these guitars only use them for freakouts and not for the more structured part of the songs.

The dark one is pretty in person but I cant handle a SG bridge on a Fender... So Wrong...

But the P90's are so right...

Good to know, thanks man. I was just looking around for a secondary guitar that could take some abuse so that's why I asked.

I've only played one in GC. The P90s were decent. but for a little more I would get the Epi 1956 LP. That guitar really growls, and might actually even be lighter than the Jag. It was surprisingly heavy.

I think the design is really cool and I seem to be the only one who likes that deep brown natural finish. It's a really sleek, minimal guitar... but that STRAT JACK! Yep, we've said the same thing in other threads, but still.

Still don't know why they call that a Jaguar instead of a Jazzmaster. It's more of a Jazzmaster.

Anyway, yeah, it's Fender's version of a mahogany Les Paul or SG with P-90s. I have a Gibson LP Faded Special DC with P-90s (ABCDEFG12345678), and it's basically the same thing. But better.

Long discussion here, but probably before anyone played one:

Probs the scale length.^^DERP
But fuck that strat jack.

I'd buy one of the Squiers in one of the sexy-as-hell lighter colors. And then use the money you saved to paint the headstock.
