[@DiogoBianchi5]

The Jazzmaster neck pickup is my favourite guitar sound base in the world. You can play anything and it sounds good

[@wouldoox8024]

Kinda right, but it needs leveling, it's way louder, which make an illusion of sounding better at the same time.

[@iagobroxado]

Too loud in comparison to the bridge.

[@markart157]

The Jaguar is so beautiful. That shape is art. Jazzmaster too, very similar. These sunbursts look so good compared to the modern guitars where 3 pieces wood with different grains are very visible.

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

Oh man, I hate when the wood blocks look suuuuper different! My Jagmaster is really bad for that. My CV Jazzmaster matches fairly well, though. And I just imported a Fender Japan Traditional 60s Jazzmaster and I had to look real close to see the joints - very happy with this one! But given how many weird-looking guitars I've seen out there, you'd think they'd be more selective about which bodies get opaque finishes and which are used for bursts!

[@chrisgeorge4325]

The Jaguar looks beautiful with all that chrome but the Jazzmaster sounds better...the mid position on the Jazzmaster is the best tone on a Fender Guitar in my opinion...

[@artamussumatra6286]

Jaguar is my favorite.

[@chadlong1109]

I own 8 electric guitars and the Jazzmaster is easily my #1 - it sounds amazing and feels right in my hands. That being said, all prospective buyers should be advised how noisy it is. You’re gonna have to make peace with 60 cycle hum it you’re gonna play a JM.

[@garogarou8560]

Now i known the differences betewn a jaguar and a jazzmaster.. I love the sound of the jazzmaster in any mic configuration.. Thx a lot

[@beepst]

I love that "angsty" sound of the Jazzmaster and Jaguar.

[@klontart]

Great demo, thanks. Massive fan of both models. The JM has this high definition, fidelity and sustain. The Jag has this rubbery fluid character, with hardly any sustain (without help) . That’s 24” scale for you. Both models excel at their thing and work brilliantly in different applications.

[@glennanderson9947]

Yes. I have been lucky enough to own 1965 Jag for about a year and could not describe the sound I was hearing but your right it is rubbery.

[@chancemiller9340]

I want the shorter scale, but the Jazzmaster has more twang/sustain. It just offers more. (I did turn down the volume so that the hotter pups didn't influence my decision. The Jazz is just better than the Jag.

The jaguar is really unique

[@dphotos007]

I have played a Strat for many years. I play mostly surf for myself as a hobby and I was interested in getting either of these two guitars. To be honest I like them both. Man it is going to be hard to decide. I love the colors of both too.

[@yannremy3081]

I used to play on strat and I love surf music. One night I discovered Messer Chups and The Bambi Mollesters...when I go indie I’m into old Cocteau Twins EP so....Jazzmaster was the evidence! I ve tried a jaguar. Nice guitar with its shorter scale, but not polyvalent as the jazzmaster. If you like to play mellow tones, jazzy things or beefier blues tones...Jazzmaster is the guitar to choose between the 2. Check C.W. Stoneking LP « Gone Boogaloo » entirely recorded on a Jazzmaster with 13 flat gauges and silvertone amp. You’ll hear something very unique ever played with Jazzmaster since Sonic Youth ^^ I own a 65 american vintage Jazzmaster (exactly the same look as the 66 on this video with the white binding on the neck and dots perloid) The only « bad » thing on it (depends on what you play with) is the original bridge which was conceived for high gauges strings and not for strum. It do the job but when you play 11 or lighter it’s an issue that’s why lot of JM players replace the bridge with a mastery (about 200 bucks). I don’t know if Jaguar reissues have the same problems

[@RatPits]

So what guitar did you pick? Really love surf, but cant choose between a strat, jazz or jag 😬

[@rivereuphrates8103]

Which one did you end up choosing? Both are amazing pieces of guitar technology but I'm partial to the Jaguar. Though i do love the rich powerful pickups on Jazzed, you really hear the difference in this demo. But all the switches and options on the Jag, so good. Surf must sound amazing on one.

[@awonderingoneil206]

Jazzmaster just sounds that bit more rounded yet jangly, tons of low end and grit, that neck position is beautiful too, so much snap and growl.

[@samuelchong9388]

They are very similar but in tone, I liked more the Jaguar.

[@ZPX945]

I like both! :-)

That Jazzmaster sounds like the pickups might be wired out-of-phase in the middle.

[@blastofo]

I like the sound of the jazz more. Jag looks cooler though.

[@alexk3088]

I agree. I'd say that they sounded differently on clean settings, great in their own way, just different. People obsess about what amounts to a notch on a level knob, whether it's the amp or the pedal. I prefer lower output pickups myself, I think they are more toneful. But with these guitars it's difficult not to want both :) My choice would be a sunburst Jag and a white Jazzmaster with tort guard.

[@glenkepic3208]

Great VID!!! First love, Jazzmaster , Ventures "The Colorful Ventures". I was 4 in '61. First electric, Audition (teisco) jazz-alike in '72. Gold Foils. Always wondered about a comparison with a Jaguar since Surf bands used both way back. now, a Jagmaster. Choice, Jazzmaster.

[@olivier3847]

there is a mistake in the specs: there are no block inlays

[@MacLuz]

In 1966 You have both dots and blocks. Block Inlays came in later 66.

[@yaminog4776]

I really like the jaguar look, very unique nd it's sounds powerful like some classic punk o a funk rock style. The jazzmaster y also beautiful, very classy. And probably would be a pretty cool guitar for jazz. Blues, or classic funk, beautiful.

[@isaiahe5025]

jazzmaster is cool, but jaguar looks and sounds nice, I prefer semi hollow to both, but the jaguar is a pretty close solid body version.

Awesome demo and playing! But I think the pickups on the Jazzmaster are wired incorrectly. I have an '08 AVRI Jazzmaster as well as an original 1965 Jazzmaster and the middle position on the Jazzmaster he's playing doesn't sound right. Sounds thin and out of phase compared to mine. Jag sounds incredible though!

[@kwp1977]

Jay McKillop agreed. The JM does not sound right

[@ericinthekitchen]

Yep I thought it too ...Middle position sounds weird and I have 2 Jazzmasters . I

[@scottlaurenceguitarist]

Do you prefer your vintage jm compared to the ‘08?

[@yaminog4776]

The Jaguar sounds terrific, but i'd say that the jazzmaster sounds with more highs and that maybe for things like captain beffheart the Jaguar would sound maybe a little better, or the jazzmaster with the neck'd sound better. But idk the mid position and the bridge to me sounds almost like elvis, who isn't bad, but im more into in other stuff for the moment, but the both are beautiful Guitars and that to me the Jaguar has more bass and mids, and the jazzmaster more high end without a good mid to compensate it Maybe in the amp it would sound better but i plug it right to the audio interface without any plug ins

[@isaacsmith1729]

I love how much the jazzmaster really exploded with overdrive! I can never get over the sound of a jazzmaster with overdrive. Also I really like the jangly sound, especially in the middle position. I think that’s where the jazzmaster really starts to shine.

[@Betoronado]

I had 3 jazzmaster and never could get a good sound with overdrive either

[@isaacsmith1729]

@@Betoronado I meant that I really like the sound of it distorted. I’ve had no problem making it sound super heavy and distorted lol because the amp I have has all kind of presets for different tones on it.

@@lueymeteora1410 No. It’s only slightly different than Gibson scale and swapping between Gibson and a Jaguar is barely noticeable at all. I don’t notice it as I’ve been playing both for many years.

Well Jaguar does sound like the better basic RocknRoll guitar . The Jazzmaster of course for what it’s namesake is .

[@ShampooAirReverse]

This video is seriously lacking the strangle switch and the rhythm circuit. Jag for attacky leads, limited sustain, and cutting through. Snarling drive and distortion. Doubled with the strangle. Lotta bite. Jazz for rounded thick tones, creamy cleans, and versatility. Excellent with fuzz, gain, and twang. Rhythm circuit takes this to a new level.

Riccardo Ragni the shape is fine and I understand the ergonomics. The colours mainly. They all clash and the pickups are big, white and plastic. It’s all subjective I know. Tortoiseshell does not match sunburst. It looks shit. Les Pauls look shapely but even they have stoopid lookin humbucker rings. I reckon pickups and wiring should be rear routed and neatly project from the top, and if you want a pickguard, fine. Best looking guitar imo Fender Jag. Colours notwithstanding.
