Totally didn't know it was enforcers in those. Other guitarist in my band plays one too. Yeah, they rock.

Yea, it's where I first found them before the Pawn Shops came out, and why I've been tempted by a Mustang (even though I have one) even though for me, a lot of the Mustang sound is the resonance of the bridge on a stupidlight body.

Apparently PGS is getting the Jaguarillo in some time next week! Dunno about the other models, but that's a lot sooner than expected.

I keep hearing and believing that the Enforcers are really sweet, but I'm just saying that Jaguars with humbuckers far outnumber Jags with Jag pickups in Fender's lineup. I guess the Jagarillo has the advantage of being something a bit different. Then again, I frigging DESPISE sing-sing-hum guitars. Along with the mullet, that configuration should have been left in the 80's.

At least on the CP Jag HH, you get blendable coil-split (which is damn useful and nice to have) and the rest of the essential stuff. I could live without the kill switch, but the instrument has its own sound.

Well, that and it was the first Jag/JM ever to take a Roland synth pickup easily - can use both the LP mount for the actual pickup thanks to the TOM bridge, and the Strat/LP strap mounting position for the bulb.

And a Jag with that many options and switches and sounds is a wonder of wonders.

i've been crying for an affordable Jaguar with Jaguar PUs as much as anybody, GF...we're going to get the Squiers soon, and there's the CP Jaguars and the AVRIs. there's single-coils and HH versions. everybody can get what they want, and we're going to get to mod those Squiers till we're blue in the face. happy days are coming. soon everyone will be able to have their own $450 Johnny Marr Jaguar.

Would look (& play) better with black pickup covers and a rosewood board.

That's true. It's like the Blacktop Jazzmaster. It's a cool idea, but it's hideous the way they did it. I got mine with all new p'ups and knobs and pots and such.

The offset special looks like it might possibly be effin' brilliant.

I think of it more as what the Jagstang shoulda been. Much nicer middle ground between Mustang and Jaguar.

since most of the pawn shop guitars are pretty awesome, can they rename it the PWN shop guitar series?

The offset special, to me, has a very musicman vibe to it.
Iwonder why we've never seen a japanese starcaster.... That would probably sell like hotcakes!
