[@paddling_out]

The 4th position on the switch is just both pickups in Series, while 2nd is Parallel. And the small switch on top does in or out of phase.

[@PeterDad60]

Wrong!

[@calacuda]

lose3111 true, I've seen the circuitry. That is to say that the switch on top is a phase shifter.

[@Nether2342]

Eoghan West I don't know about these specific ones, but the standard spec on jazzmasters and jaguars is for the top switch to turn off the bridge pick up, and force on the neck pick up, regardless of if the other controls would have it turned off.

[@vw9659]

lose3111 is 100% correct.

[@marsattacks7071]

The switch seems to be a simple "high pass filter". To use an "out of phase", you need at least two pickups.

[@ShannonRoy]

In baseball, much of the game revolves around getting to first base (fnarr fnarr). If you hit to "left field" the fielder has much further to throw to the first baseman to throw you out at first. The ball also arrives from "behind" you as you run towards the base, so you can't judge when it's going to arrive in the baseman's glove. This is what "out of left field" means. An idea that arrives, suddenly, unexpectedly, that's taken the originator more effort to produce, that's stranger, more unorthodox, etc. You're welcome!

[@joshualessore7652]

[@kentishmale1969]

Shannon Roy well you hit that one for 6 :)

[@trjones1]

I think you have your bases mixed up. A runner getting thrown out at first by an outfielder basically never happen. It's probably about a runner going from third to home, because then left field would be behind you and the ball really would "come out of left field" both literally and figuratively.

[@gusdupree2508]

Out of left field, most of us are right handed not left , right is considered normal left not normal , nothing to do with baseball

[@sonidojamon]

Guys, its a shame you didn't check the specs properly on the Jaguar, cause I was waiting for your demo of it. Second position is both pickups in series, and 4th position is both in parallel, sort of a humbucker sound, with noise cancelling. The upper switch is a Phase switch that works only on 2 and 4. The volume pots have a new "treble bleed" technology so when you turn them down you dont loose definition and treble. The neck has a new profile that gets thicker or thinner depending on where you play. Please don't get sloppy on your demos and explanations, cause you're a reference for us all. Thanks again.

[@iradonaldwallsjr.9223]

Sean Marholm -they also messed up on the stop switch,,,the tremolo is a floating tremolo,,but with switch engaged the tremolo will only go down like my musicman stingray,,,that said I love my 2018 Jaguar pro and the pickups are perfect for me ,,,””

[@matthewrayment298]

I have owned a Mexican Classic Player Jaguar for 5 years and I love it!! Such a versatile guitar with the lower impedance upper volume control for darker tones. (Even used it in a Uni Jazz gig the other day!!) Note controversially I like the tremolos on these guitars I have always found them easy to use and closer to a bigsby than a strat trem. These new versions of the Jaguar & Jazzmaster are stunning.

[@bumblefritz]

18:48 Fun fact: Jimi actually did play both a Jazzmaster and a Jaguar. Though, they were not his primary guitars while he was well known.

[@ReallyRyan.]

The lock on the Jazzmaster and Jaguar tremolo system is for an emergency use. If you break a string, that causes the other strings to break and go out of tune, due to the higher tension caused by the one string breaking. The lock is there so that if you break a string you lock the trem system down, lowering the tension on the strings, your guitar stays in tune, you replace the string and then proceed to keep rocking. It’s actually a cool idea, but I’ve never gotten to see it in a real life situation, however.

[@TheElliott5]

I bought the American Pro Jazzmaster a couple of weeks ago and its insanely good. The neck profile in particular makes transitions so smooth and the pickups sound awesome. I was hesitant at first not to have the additional rhythm circuit, but the tone suits my playing and keeps things simple. Great work Fender.

[@craigfish7890]

Loved the video guys. Have wanted a Jaguar for many years, want one even more now. The sound with the shorter scale length intrigues me, plus the antique olive color is awesome to me.

[@oliviabarchard547]

Was hoping to hear some chords being played out as well...

[@TheDude4077]

18:47 "I know Jimi never played a guitar like that" Jimi actually played a Jazzmaster in his early days as a backup guitar player! You can look up videos on youtube when he was a backup playing both an olympic white, and sunburst Jazz. He also played the sunburst one a bit into his career with the experience, and played a jag many times in the early days of the experience, you can find tons of pictures of him with both guitars on google images.

[@DogwithtwoBones]

Hendrix played both Jaguar and Jazzmaster occasionally back in 67 and 68. In fact because he was always bad with money he played the guitar he could get his hands on.

[@desmondteague2441]

Pos 1: Bridge, Pos 2: Both pickups in parallel, Pos 3: Neck, Pos 4: Both pickups in series. (they stole it out of the Johnny Marr sig). The top switch just switches phase in Positions 2 & 4. Hope that helps demystify the guitar for some.

I’m a strat guy and have always been but I really love my jag. It’s just really cool and honestly, something different. It has chime and character but doesn’t quite do what a tele or strat does. I like the old school, switches everywhere, rhythm and lead layout too. I’m not sure why they dumbed it down. I feel like if you’re gonna get a jag, you might as well go for the gusto.

[@stuartphelps3293]

Jimi Hendrix played a jazzmaster with Little Richards. I love the Andertons channel, but I wish there was a little more fact checking. They couldn't do a simple google search to find out about the switch on the Jaguar?laziness.

[@kevinodriscoll3904]

Interesting comparison! These guitars seem to be quite removed from the originals. The upper bout switch on the Jaguar is to switch from a rhythm to a lead sound purportedly, and you can set it on the vintage spec Jaguar so this works pretty well. As it was demoed here the upper bout switch on this model works differently by cutting the tone frequency. On the original the rhythm channel has separate volume and tone controls for the neck pickup on the upper bout. If you switch down on the upper bout of the original you get both pickups and the controls which are switched by three two-ways on the lower bout, so as to punch through with the lead sound on a solo. This is actually quite useful if covering both lead and rhythm parts as you can literally change up at the flick of a switch. The player tricks for the bridge are to file a notch in the saddles for each string, use heavy strings and fit a small bar over the strings by the tail stop to increase the angle over the bridge. This keeps the strings in the saddle and also improves tone. The trick with the vibrato damper is to keep it locked for your set and it stays in tune better, breaking strings never helps. When you get to the encore you can switch it off for some deep divebombs or not. Also, no surf guitar or heavy grunge sounds on this video? That was a big miss since these guitars virtually invented the sounds for whole alternative rock genres.

[@coolowlman]

Mustang vs Duo Sonic!

[@PeterIovine]

Mustang vs Duo Sonic vs Music Master

[@coolowlman]

Peter why a music master is just a duo sonic without a bridge pickup!

Yo Boi Enzo Idk I just wanted it for the hell of it

Peter i suppose it would sound a little different than a duo sonic neck pickup because it doesn't have a bridge pickup sucking away some tone

[@Condor512]

I have a Fender Jaguar I bought in 2011, it's a 'Blacktop' Model. It doesn't have all the fancy switching, just a Vol, Tone, a 3-way switch for the two Humbucker pickups, and a Tone-o-matic bridge. I LOVE it. The 24" Scale makes it a breeze to play. I got it 'cause it reminded me of the 'Student Models' of the good old days back in the 1960's and Surf Music. I play it almost every day. But today I have my '86 Strat out.

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

Johnny Marr should get a royalty on every 4 way switch jag sold he came up with that idea . Usually like these videos . Do some extra credit homework on Jazzmaster or Jags.

[@braddyboy82]

"Out of left field" is an American slang term from baseball. Since left field is the farthest position from first base, the left fielder has to throw the ball further than anyone else for a first base out. So, in slang, it means it is the furthest possible place to make a play, but still in the ballpark. That's why more obscure or different bands and musicians are said to be 'out of left field'.

[@phel21]

The trem-lock on these guitars prevents the unchanged strings from going sharp with moderate drop-tunings. E.g. drop D. It may of course also help if you break a string as mentioned in the video, but that is not its intended purpose. Was kinda surprised that someone like Lee or Rob doesn't either already know or work this out.

[@levicrouchgmailcom]

The lock on the trem is to keep the same tension even if you break a string. This was originally designed for music with lots of bends and vibrato. Breaking a string was fairly common. It started popular because alt and punk artists adopted the guitar and their heavy hitting and wild sttumming also took a toll on strings.

[@coyotehollowband]

Jazzmasters are my personal favorite! I was a little sad to see that they ditched the second time circuit. Always though that was the secret weapon of these guitars.

[@therideneverends1697]

Matt Wisdom I use the circuit switch all the time on my jag

[@caiusmadison2996]

Jimi Hendrix did have a Jaguar he often pictured with. He played it live once in a while too.

[@jhar9022]

I'd really love to suggest a baritone six string shoot out/vs. video. Baritones don't get the love they deserve, and it'd be a cool opportunity to see the new Chapman ML-1 Baritone Standard in action, as I'm after one... Selfishly suggesting that haha.

[@dizzyrider3883]

The reason a bigsby sounds so sweet is because the sound doesn't loose any of the dynamics when the pitch drops, unlike floyd rose type trems. In my opinion.

[@nique21nue]

I really like your vids, even ordered some pedals from you to germany. But in the long run there is much too much "fiddeling" going on. Too many scales, too fast. Is it really helpful to hear someone shred on a Jazzmaster? No offense, vids are awesome, sometimes just too much technique for my taste.

[@flatfoot1983]

The switching on the Jaguar Rob is playing is: 4-way switch: 1. Brige 2. Bridge+Neck (parallel) 3. Neck 4. Bridge+Neck (in series) The switch at the top reverses the phase on one of the pickups, resulting in additional tones for 4-way positions 2 and 4.

[@byDISMAL]

Perfect video for me, I'm currently torn between the two!

[@benradford847]

i normally don't like how much fender charge for their guitars, but having playing the last 2 years of their jazzmasters and jags, they feel absolutely lovely. Especially the squires and mexicans, for the money, are insane value as far as feel and sound compared to the past years' versions.

[@ethandowse9145]

[@daspotz5134]

[@highlightfactory85]

just a heads up, i have the olive green P bass and it looks way more "gray" irl compared to the green you'll see in photos and vids. i bought one used from reverb on a whim and was convinced the dude sold me the wrong bass lmao. still beautiful but way more faded.

[@kelvinburn7743]

Thanks for that buddy

[@jensenbell]

Pickup Note: Just so you guys know, my pal the great California offset repair expert, went under the pickup covers on the Pro Jazzmaster... they are not JM pickups at all. They are thin and tall under there. They are essentially Strat units hiding under JM covers. Not the same animal at all. The "big ass casings" were for a reason. The very flat and wide coil created a very distinctive low end. Play an vintage JM through a 4x10 fender amp and then switch to a strat (or that pro) and you'll hear a MASSIVE change.

[@mrzac83]

Rob that jaguar sound great good playing as always

[@redjet4810]

When you use the pedals, you mask the tone of the guitar. Go through the different settings clean before you distort the sound.

[@iwillnevergetone5]

Dear Friends- for anyone who doesn't yet know and is still concerned about potential bridge issues (as per the conversation around @10:00) : there is an entire subculture of alternative options for offset bridges and amenities out there. you can play these guitars and swap out these parts to suit your playing. don't lose hope, comrades. Also at @11:40 the purpose of that small tailpiece-lock is for when you break a string, it keeps the other strings from being pulled out of pitch due to the lost tension via the spring inside the body cavity. this allows you finish the current song or set before absolutely having to apply your new string.

[@Adamnme01]

You should have done some of the vintage jaguars with all the complicated switching for selecting the different pickups (each pick up had its own on off switch) and the high pass filter. The original ones also had different circuits for rhythm and lead and each with their own volume and tone pots. The tremolo lock is mainly for if you don't have the arm in and just want to keep it stable. Ive got an early 80's made in Japan jag and love it to bits.

[@seanbrooks2583]

its really not that complicated. on. off. high pass filter.

[@Adamnme01]

Compared to a lot of other guitars with just a 3/5 way switch and volume/tone pots it is fairly complex

[@multi.instrumentalist]

pos. 1 is bridge, pos. 2 is parallel, pos. 3 is neck, pos. 4 is series, which is why it's louder and warmer. the other switch is phase reverse. The reason the jazzmaster pickups are massive is because they're also really flat, so the coil is distributed differently, and you get a different tone.

[@bignikoli]

gretch dot vs a 335

[@ghoulannabanana]

you mean an epiphone dot?

[@bignikoli]

RCT3plays MC there was meant to be a comma in there aha

[@thomasraven]

Yes, the lock button on the floating trem was mainly designed so that a player who breaks a string doesn't have the entire guitar go out of tune. If a string breaks, you can engage the lock and stay in tune with the remaining strings.

[@Tahquitz]

Dudes, know your gear before you record. Lee says the JM PU come in "bigger casings" as if this accurately defines the PU...not only are the casing wider, the whole bobbin, and thus the windings have a wider and flatter dimension than the Jaguar. The Jag is deeper and narrower plus has the come baseplate to effect the magnetic field shape. This is stuff is not hard to know and articulate.

[@JMEAUS22]

Dude video is over 2 years old

[@jysmtl]

Moe Syzlak so what?

[@elonmush4793]

6:45 Sorry guys, you got it wrong. Position 4 is both pickups in series and position 2 provides the better known sound of both in parallel. The 4 way switch is a popular mod usually found on Teles.

[@saedt]

7:26 I'm really craving the jaguar now :o

[@The10000lbGorilla]

To explain "Left Field". In American Baseball a right handed batter (most of them are) will usually hit the ball into right field. Since a large majority of balls go to right field, the left field defense position is often overlooked or ignored, most players looking for spotlight will want to play a position that gets more attention like pitcher/catcher, first baseman, etc.

[@denmut]

I really like Lee, but sometimes I feel like he does not let Rob criticize the guitars. (like the saddles in this video)

[@lordporcupine8767]

Deniz M actually Lee is right, the design is way better. I played one at a shop for about an hour and it was great never fell out of the saddle.

[@denmut]

Yes you might me right for this specific example. I meant in general. Cheers.

[@rebelartwork]

Nah, Lee is right. The mustang style bridge is a lot better than the vintage style Rob is referencing.

[@denmut]

Once again I repeat: I did not mean the saddles examples but in general. Gosh! :)

Do a comparison between a Jazzpaster vs a P90 equipped Les Paul, and a Telecaster equipped with broad field Humbuckers. Throw in a Mini Hmbuckers equipped Firebird too, if you like. I'd like to see how similar and how different, those guitars are, to each other, and why.

[@furbymetal83]

[@insooleedat1asiandude]

the Jaguar just has such a wide variety of tones

[@xermanpequeno]

Les Paul vs. Eclipse (high-end LTD or ESP). That would be interesting.

[@Jeffy2n]

Leo's idea behind the tremolo lock was in reaction to complaints from players about the stratocasters tremolo. The two big complaints were 1) if you broke a string, and had it set up as Leo intended (Floating) you were hopelessly out of tune. 2) again, if set up as Leo intended (Floating) when you bend a string, the tremolo would first fight that bend (String tension ve spring tension) and the other 5 string would detune (Go flat) this lessening of tension could let the strings at the nut slip and through the guitar out of tune. Many players to fix this issue on the stratocaster would deck or even block the tremolo (See Eric Clapton). Leo's answer was to let the player easily deck the tremolo so it would only work in the detune mode. But unlike the players who had to over spring and over tension the stratocaster tremolo to deck it, thus making it very hard to use it, this left a nice light smooth tremolo action without the drawback stated above.

[@sexybeardedvikingwizardthe4746]

Actually one of the things I'd like to see you guys do is a review and play of the Vox AmPlug 2 line, I have a couple and have found them interesting and damn good value for money. Especially with multiple gain stages, effects and on the Bass 9 rhythms.

[@fortj3]

I have the bass AmPlug 2 and love it. It works well with my bass and my guitars. I plan on getting the AC30 , Blues, and Classic Rock. You are right about them being a great value.

[@lucasoheyze4597]

You wanted a review of something you already had two of? That's fucking weird, dude.

[@somebodyelseuk]

Strictly speaking, the distance between the ballend and the tuning peg is what affects the string tension, not necessarily the scale length. The Jag is essentially wired the same way as the Baja Tele, except they've used the slider instead of the S-1 pot thingy.- bridge/both parallel/neck/both in series and the phase switch.

[@JeffStarr]

[@ghty43]

I don't care which guitars you choose. I just want more and more of these videos. Can't get enough of Andertons videos. Enjoyed it guys! Thanks.

[@briancrete5873]

Came just to hear them say JAG-U-ARE. I love it so much.

[@strobie42]

I think you'll find that's JAG-YOU-WERE :-)

[@minisurfbanana]

Lol

[@SideEffectsmusic]

Jag u er

[@subswithnovideos-oj1wf]

wait how do you pronounce it in america?

[@MrFlyingMack]

Jag Wa

[@mgray865]

It’s actually a decent demo of the Jaguar’s tonal range by Rob here.

[@matthorner35]

If only Fender caught on to how much the lefty community want these haha.

[@KozmykJ]

When you're a beginner neither hand knows what to do. I write LH but play guitar RH, now that these hands are programmed/trained I couldn't play LH to save my life. Saved myself a lot of LH surcharges over the years 'n all ;^)

[@matthorner35]

I will politely disagree with almost everything you have said - do right handers complain that there's too many options to choose from? Left handers have had very little options historically (now is better than 18 years ago when I started playing however). But closely monitoring the Facebook left handed pages is very revealing. Revelation brought out an offset copy last year, instead of them sitting in the shop for years gathering dust, lefties had to wait for deliveries as a number of stores couldn't keep up with demand (including myself).

[@sneezebeez6567]

Finally a jazzmaster, I been a praying for this

[@jackharman4516]

the jazzmaster pickups are flatter than the jaguar or normal strat single coils, they are so wide as there is less room on the bobbin than on the taller regular single coils

[@michaelmasin1996]

I love the part when Lee finds out that frets are closer together on a shorter scale length guitar, considering how long he has been playing guitar. (not trying to say he doesn't know his stuff, I discovered a lot about guitar watching andertons, and Rob's and Lee's channels are two of my favourites on YT)

[@jysmtl]

I’ll say it, Lee doesn’t know his stuff. Not when it comes to the subject of this comparo.

[@midasmazairac3226]

do a shootout between a regular telecaster and a telecaster thinline!

[@PeterDad60]

Jaguar: To prevent a string from popping off the saddle, just cut the notch deeper (keeping the v notch as narrow as possible in the new deeper slot). Then raise the saddle height to compensate for the deeper notch. I have an Indian Veena and a Chinese Pipa and one string on each instrument had a nut with too shallow a slot. Simple fix was to just cut them a little deeper. Now the strings have never popped / moved again.

[@CouncillorCrooke]

Cant believe neither of these lads played a bit of johnny marr whilst holding the jag

[@stuartpowell255]

Papa Poncho jr. I imagine the reason they didn’t is they are so firmly rooted in blues and metal they probably have no idea who Johnny Marr is. I find Lee and Chappers slightly annoying when they review offsets or Rickenbackers or any guitar not traditionally used for blues or metal because they don’t know what to do with them

[@levinsculpture]

I've never commented on a video before, and forgive me if someone already mentioned this, but I would guess that the reason behind the trem switch that allows bending down but not up is so that if you bend a note on (for example) the 12th fret B string while a note is ringing on the 12th fret high E string, it won't change the pitch of the E string note. Or maybe i'm wrong, in which case, sorry you had to spend time reading this!

[@SallyCanWait1996]

why don't you guys do some blindfolded P90 shooutout? for example epihone casin vs some telecaster?

[@keithbeef]

came for Chappers and Captain, stayed for the amusing editing

[@PintsofGuinness]

0:09 i really thought that riff was gonna be rebel rebel by david bowie

[@JordanTheMinecrafter]

Loved that purple haze lick at 18:35

[@bishalgiri7487]

look at the cup in 2:43 till 2:46.

[@PBNIP]

you must be new here

[@bishalgiri7487]

why?

[@Almightychicken117]

Bishal giri He always does that.

[@bishalgiri7487]

i got it now.

[@wishuhadmyname]

Sherpa Yogi how about it gets abducted by aliens? or dwarves come bt and steal it. that would be cool

[@TahaNasser]

Captain, the Jazzmaster's tremolo lock is because some players (downward pick slanters) rest their hands and fingers on the bridge / strings when they pick, especially the higher strings. With a bridge that can raise, this often means the pitch of the strings is pulled slightly sharp by the resting weight of the hand so some players like to block this off and have a bridge that can only push downwards, which can't be done by a resting hand position. I use a hipshot tremsetter on my floyd rose style bridges to accomplish exactly this.

[@fortj3]

That's not what Fender said. HOWEVER, it does make a lot of sense.

[@sladehorne3849]

A great video idea would be a very short scale guitar, like an Ibanez MiKro, versus a baritone guitar. Like so Rob can see!

[@jeremydankiw5178]

I love your demos because you all tend to do exactly everything I like to do with them as far as tone is concerned

[@aroundandaround4106]

What happened to the chapman pedals rob?

[@TheLocalZeroChannel]

The Captain seems to say that Jazzmaster pickups are just Fender single coils under bigger pickup covers, but they're not. They have wide but shallow bobbins and sound a bit different, warmer. --- Also, the four way switch on the Jaguar gives you bothe pickups wired in parallel and wired in series like a humbucker. The phase switch puts the pickups out of phase in both the series and parallel positions. --- Lastly, Hendrix did play a Jaguar earlier in the 60s. i'm looking at a photo of him with a Jaguar from his New York days. And i think he had a Jazzmaster too. --- but still, great to hear the sounds you two get out of these guitars, and great conversation as always.

[@superkjell]

Gretsch vs Gibson hollow body?

[@superkjell]

Also: Gretsch Duo Jet vs Les Paul

[@vampolascott36]

I have a Gretsch 6120-55 and a Gibson ES-175 and I have to admit that the Gretsch gets more love. The Gretsch has more sonic personality and also has that cool factor. Will I get rid of my Gibson? No way! I have solid body guitars that I absolutely love, but I think nothing else sounds as good for roots rock, country and jazz as a hollow body electric.

[@bonestockrotorary]

I think es-335 vs es-339 would be sick. Plus it's a perfect tee up for hearing captain play some juicy blues licks.
