I bought my jaguar and I absolutely love it

Break out a router and route the body so you can "upgrade" the controls to old school ones. Buy the chrome plates, etc., modify the pickguard to accomodate, and solder all the correct electronic parts into it and make it your own.

Matador by the Buttertones part was sick

Nice, great review as always! Also I gotta ask, how'd you like the sound of the Yosemite pickups in your Performer Strat? I got one of those SSS limited edition ones from 2022 with the ash body in Walnut and a maple fretboard. And I gotta agree with you on the aesthetics of the unfinished Performer maple necks. If I didn't like the contrasting look between the dark Walnut finished body and pale looking neck I couldn't bare looking at it haha. I've even considered switching necks on it but I've also got a weakness for the large 70s headstocks.

Strats forever !!!

Your production and and presentation style is ace man, really entertaining shit. These seem like great guitars. I own a bunch of Ultra stuff and it's an easy recommend.

Kinda threw me at the sixteen second mark…good video, though.

Imo stock pickups sound a little better except for the rhythm circuit, I'd take the lead circuit from the signature pickups. Agree with you, this is a killer guitar especially when you consider what you're getting for the price, i have american tele and J Mascis Squier and reach for J Mascis a lot more than the tele.

Hey, loved this video. I ordered my Vintera Jag based off that review! How chunky does the neck feel around the 1st to 5th frets? I’ve seen elsewhere these are quite thick and my hands are basically stumpy sausages 😂 Be good to understand if this neck would be too thick for people with smaller sized hands?

Where exactly can I get this exact bridge please ?? Thank you

How's the neck. did it need leveling and crowning, or does it play well out of the box?

Thanks for playing some nice clean tones. I'm a jazz player, no pedals. So, clean tones are what I'm looking for. Most guys are showing how they can riff through all their pedals and I can't tell a thing about the guitar. Very nice video. I think I'm gonna spend my money on one of these. It will be nice to play jazz on a guitar clear enough to heat all the notes.

I have Fender Player 1 jaguar from a few years ago and seems to be more universal with Bridge Humbucker pick up so it can fit to those grunge, punk and dirty fuzzy tones too with great sound evenly with melodic indie or soft sounds. This one player 2 I wouldn’t buy, I like to have more universal sound to easily switch to more heavy sounds.

I guess this guitar is not so great if you have to replace everything ?? Don't fall for all the hype. It's usually too good to be true sort of like Justin Trudeau or Mr. Mascis himself. At 5:15 I became totally confused about the function of a tremolo ! Nothing a good short haircut wouldn't cure.

You need to be very careful buying ANY Squire. The last one I returned to the store to get my money back was a 60's Squire Telecaster. It didn't work at all because it had a faulty 3 way switch.

im so fucking bummed this doesnt sound good distorted. it checks all my other boxes, plus it looks gorgeous.

just remind that Sonic Youth usually stripped down most of their off sets, just to simplify

But you replace pickups with Wide range humbuckers

i always love jags with humbuckers

i believe the mod shop has been vastly improved since this video!

playing is top notche!

Maybe this is not the right vid. I am looking for a comparison between 1960's and the current Fender Jaguar. So what's the differences between the 2 types of Jaguars Huge thnx

Fender sells springs for the Strat that would probably work.

these series are good but basically jag body with telly tones

Yo, CuniFe pickups from Madlove Pickups are much better. They sound better, cheaper, and they have the ability to coil split out of the box, so you can always switch between humbucking and jazzmaster tones.

I agree 100% re the switching: I don’t really use it, but I want it there. Having said that, I’d take that fretboard and no switching over traditional switching and the awful fretboards they’ve been putting on Mexicans and Squiers any day.

hi you have just convinced me about this guitar so just ordered one same colour,that princetone amp your useing how you finding it i have the deluxe reverb blonde for 2 years now but to be honest bit worried if it gos wrong out of garrantee now,all the best to you.

it looks and sounds killer what pick ups are in it cheers

So all this is about a freaking pick guard ??? I understand that the MOD shop should give you what you paid for, but a pick guard. I am with you, I would never buy a guitar sight unseen unless I had return options. NO RETURN OPTIONS- NO BUY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once you pay one of these freaking companies, they forget who the freak you are !!!! If it plays good, I hope you have some relief. Get a pick guard that reads: FUCK FENDER MOD SHOP .

2:04 Forgot to fart here

The JMJ is awesome, I just put a roller bridge it’s amazing. The beefy neck and frets make it easier to play for my hands and stock pickups are perfect. Just enough gain for most Rock and clean enough for most surf music.

I've been interested in trying something different in my Jazzmaster. Black Mass and Stonewall make version of these that are a good bit cheaper than the Fender CuniFe WR humbuckers. Your demo at the end -- I liked the clean tones a lot, drive tones were a bit highendy, but, 4 bills is a bit too steep.

Looks like my chrome 02 strat. Which the body actually was stamped on 11/27 so it recently had a bday! Lol

thats ur dream guitar? 😭

Rowland s Howard’s rolling over in his grave.

It's not the right pickup for a JM. To my ears,- and I've heard differing takes, - the JM is piano like in it's resonance, sustain, and attack, and as noted ,the broader eq and scooped mids don't work for the design's actual strengths.For the exact same reason, they work well in Tele's. Originally, Firebirds utilized a P90 ish design in a mini humbucker cover; they make that guitar unique and work well, but unlike Cunife in a JM , Alnico 2 mini humbuckers actually are a viable alternative. I've found that Leo usually got it optimally right the first time.

Any luck with the vibrato? I think the bridge is the issue.

Changing my jazzmaster into a jazzstang, making the pickguard a mustang one! Slowly making my dream guitar too

This is the exact vibe I want from every KZbin video. Come out swinging, to the point, and informative. Thank you!

The colors actually grew on me. When I first saw the like I thought they looked so bad it was fake.

I have one of these guitars, the pickup adjustments are from the pole pieces, all the others are from the whole pick up. Any advice?

I want more videos where you insult the viewer.

7:23 CRAZY

Quite confused by this Jag. I'm a Strat and Tele owner and some of the reasons I'd pick one of these up is, the shorter scale and rhythm circuit. Basically just having 2 strat pickups with a Tele three way switch seems like worst of all worlds. Is it just the offset vibe and shorter scale?

kurt cobraine used jaguars for distorted tones but he used seymour duncan pickups

Was torn between the yellow and the red (got the red). Miss the extra chrome but it's such a fun and likable instrument. I threw on some 10-52s and it feels better than the strings it shipped with. Thanks!

I like that you chose the yellow. I like that you cuss because the music community on KZbin has become too corporate and sterile. I would go with the Jazzmaster over the jag, but good vid man man. Well done.

A Jag without all the appointments is like a woman without lipstick, eyeliner and eyelashes.

good lord man, i don't know what you're expecting out of a humbucker but they absolutely do not suit what you're playing. maybe try a hotter p90 set
