At the age of 50, I've decided to get my very first electric guitar. After many weeks of research and seeing the great reviews, I've decided. This is the ONE! The Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar in black. I am ordering it now. I am so excited! Thanks for the awesome video. It helped me to decide :)

This is just great! Awesome content! This is really important to share, specially in this moment with sky rocketing prices and the "Cobain Tax" in every piece of gear related to him. I would love to see a comparison between the "original vs reissue" Polychorus and Sansamp. There's a lot of people paying extra for the vintage stuff. Thanks for doing it!

Dude, none of that shit is worth it. Trust me. I paid like $250 for an original Sansamp a few years ago. Only to find out the $25 behringer TM300 I have sounds exactly the same lol. Honestly, most of Kurt's Polychorus noises can be duplicated with a small clone pedal. No, not the $1000.00 SAD1024 pedal. Just a regular, modern day production MN3007 small clone. I have 2 new reissue Polychorus's & they get the job done. But they're not worth the money. None of this stuff if. It's just a "I've gotta have it" kinda situation.

Great video man! I actually think the classic vibe looks really nice in that daphne blue finish and with humbuckers I think with the CV jag sounding louder is that it has the stock bridge and kc one has the TOM, and the pickup spacing is different too the CV has accurate spacing not the kc jag though I don’t know if that makes a difference though? I think pickup height could matter too? And heart shaped box sounds so good with that squier it’s amazing

I put a DiMarzio super distortion in the bridge and it sound like home. Someday I will upgrade some parts like the tuners or the tremolo, but still... Nice videos!

Vergusima Me encanto, estaba ahorrando para comprar una jaguar kurtcobain edition justo por Las pastillas y demás modificaciones, y este video me convenció totalmente en dejar de prestarle tanta atención a lo que el cabezal de la guitarra diga “Fender” y concentrarme más en el sonido y es excelente saber que squier está haciendo cosas de gran calidad y aun precio verdaderamente accesible. Estoy seguro de que kurt no estaría tan de acuerdo con que una guitarra con su nombre fuera tan inaccesible, cuando precisamente el compraba sus guitarras de segunda mano porque eran más baratas.

Great review, thank you! I have two classic vibe 50s, a blonde pine telecaster and a tan alder strat. I love them both but the tele is outstanding! Just awesome with a great tone. I have a cv 70s jaguar on order waiting for it to be delivered and can't wait. The Squier Classic Vibe series are way under valued, under priced and unknown. Most everyone automatically think because it's a Squier it won't be as good as a regular fender but I'd put mine up against any fender USA, MIM or even custom shop. Squier has really hit these out of the ballpark so to speak!

Hey man super big fan, love all your videos. Im thinking about recreating the jag out of a classic vibe too (ofc different colors). I don’t want to pay for someone else to do the electronics though. I also can’t find any tutorials online, this would be my first time time modding anything especially my dream guitar. Your the only person I know that could give me a full tutorial. I want to mod it to the exact specs of yours, with the SH-1 in the neck, super distortion in the bridge, and with the 500k pots. Could you make a video showing how to do the wiring for the jag? It would be very appreciated!!! If possible, in the video could you also recommend some good cheap amps (500$ and below) for some good general nirvana tones. Love the videos man!!! Keep it up!

You should see if you can find the roadworn version of the Kurt Jag, I have that version and it doesn't have the heavy gloss finish on the body, it was made to be a "perfect" replica of the actual thing with all the dings and scratches. It's rare though as it was only in production for the first year or 2 of its release in 2011. Would be interesting to see if it sounds different to the NOS version. It certainly looks 100% better

Frankly not surprised you liked the Squier more. I just picked up a vintera Jag to "upgrade" from my CV and you'd never tell the difference blindfolded. The Squier absolutely holds its own against the current top level production standard fender Jag, it's ridiculous. Kinda disappointed I spent as much as I did on the vintera, even though I got a stupidly killer deal on it. Still, the ocean turquoise with matching headstock and 7.25" fretboard is worth the price of admission for me.

As you're playing BOC's Don't Fear the Reaper, I'm preferring the Fender. In fact, I listened to all of them with my open-back Sennheiser 598 headphones, and this time around I do actually prefer the tone of the Fender. It's less muddy on my laptop. I really need to hear this through a good receiver. You have to factor in ROI: cost vs tone quality. If you're chasing tone, you can't order online... Since you're wearing a Pumpkins shirt, you must know how Corgan was forever looking for another Gish for decades and couldn't find the tone until the Gish guitar was finally returned to him.

The thing that always gets me is that Kurt told the story of buying a Jaguar, which he got for $20 because nobody cared about Jaguars and Mustangs. Which would a young Cobain be more likely to use? A £1650 signature model, or a £400 Squier with £200 of pickups on it?
@archivalrock

The first time I watched this I was very impressed and was convinced to buy a CV since they sound the essentially the same (I do hear the difference and generally prefer the KC) but not for the price difference. It’s a great video and a joy to watch. Great! But on second watching I feel really mislead. It’s really nagging at me. This isn’t a comparison between the fender signature and the Squier CV it’s a comparison between the fender and a guitar heavily modified to sound as much like the fender as possible, and those modifications are neither cheap nor easy. Making this guitar essentially the same price as the fender and much more expensive then the fender player series that already has a similar pickup configuration. A better comparison would be the CV with the pickups pictured in the intro and thumbnail to the KV or the cheaper fenders. As it seems like most of your complaints about the KC are a lack of a proper setup, whilst writing a love letter to the tone by copying it.

Finished the video and wanted to add that I have a squier toronado and the thing is perfect. I planned on switching out the pickups but they're great, great frets too. I personally love jumbo frets but I can get used to any size fret really. I also have a MIM jazzmaster and that thing is my most expensive guitar and has the SHARPEST frets. I have a MIM tele, a Chinese fender and an American made custom guitar and the MIM jazzmaster has the worst frets, super super sharp. The Chinese made fender was actually my cheapest guitar and is my number one, has the best frets and neck I've ever played, second up would be that squier toronado. I've played the squier you have too but, they are set up so badly in store that I haven't been able to pull the trigger, guess I gotta now though. ( Also just a preference but I hate the sonic blue squier mustang it looks white, it's not sonic blue.)

I really wanted the KC Jaguar since I both really like Cobain and the look of the Jaguar. I kept thinking about for weeks while looking at other Jaguars till I finally came to the conclusion that Cobain would rather see a fan buy a guitar and make it their own than to buy one of his signature guitars. I went for a black Squire CV Jaguar, call it Little Bean. Filed the nut to take 11s flat wounds and it just feels so strong, firm, yet forgiving on the fingers thanks to the feel of the flat wounds. My only issue I have with it is the pickups being microphonic, causing feedback if I use too much distortion. I'm still thinking about what pickups I should replace them with.

I use Ernie ball 9 gauge flatwounds but for the thin strings I take a pack of 20/38 thin strings from a 8 gauge pack so I can Solo easier and I use em with the flats I've been playing guitar since I was 7 and I'm 20 now I've been using flats since the very beginning I used to use GHS but since Ernie ball released the 9 gauge flatwound that's what I use my own custom set I do myself 9/38 flats

Just started watching this channel yesterday lol i got a kc model and im a lefty woohoo only lefty jag i can find at a good price at first i had hard timr to enjoy the sounds so first thing i did was change the pots the guitar and i love it so much then whole nut thing i will definitely be changing out the nut soon but ive had the guitar for almost 2 years i absolutely adore it espcially here as a music major. Just messing with pickup heights and i put a 250k in the neck and 500k in bridge and tone and i really enjoy it. I have a huge love for nirvana as a songwriter but doesnt really reflect on my process. But yeah fender just doesnt really seem to excited about properly giving kurt some justice

Wait a minute. Did Kurt's guitar have the tremolo there or was closer to the bottom of the guitar? If it was closer to the bottom, doesn't that have a pretty big effect on how the guitar sounds? Puisheens vid sure showed that it did. So I immediately wondered whether you had considered that when doing tone recreation of Jags with vintage trem locations.

I thought the Cobain sounded better with more nuance and clarity. That being said I bought a squire contemporary Jaguar and I love it.

I agree, the Squier sounds better and closer to Kurts. I would change the neck pickup, the bridge pickup is nice.

Couldn't disagree more. I love my kurt cobain jag, the chunky neck, the thick jumbo frets, the finish... And obviously the sound. Very versatile

wow, i agree - i have a squier vintage modern jag -red - 2012 with fender pure vintage '65 and it rips - it replaced a 65 reissue i had that was much heavier and lacking in tone - i never want another jag. however, i also have a 68 mustang and i haven't compared it to a squier yet. but well done on the comparison as it reinforces my bias. squier rules.

Nice, the Squier sounds awesome but the KC one really sounds like Nirvana! If you're familiar with thousands of Nirvana live recordings (like me) you'll notice it right away.

I have the exact same squier. I fitted a dimarzio super disortion S into it so didn't need any routing. Doesn't sound quite as beefy as a full size humbucker does the trick. Only thing I dislike is that the low E string seems to have an annoying rattle when it vibrates against the frets

As crazy as it sounds I think I might like the sound of the squier better. Idk if it’s the pots (idk if they’re different or not) or if the wood is making it sound that different but it seems like the Kurt jag has a really low bassy sound underneath the higher frequencies almost like the tone knob is turned back for the bass strings but not for the treble strings. I know it sounds dumb but it’s just my opinion on this recording

Hey man, great video, sometimes I really want a KC jaguar, but I think it dosn't worth it, Im thinking of getting a vintera in Ocean Turquoise and modded, what do you think of that guitar, do you think is a good option? I dont have the possibility to try it bc of where I live there are no music stores

I'm really surprised how different the tone is even just from my computer speakers through KZbin. I don't know which one I prefer off just this demo without headphones, but the sound was very different to me.

They sound different to each other, but I like both. Maybe more science is needed on bridge pickup height for a proper comparison? I'm after the HH option because I live between two big air conditioners so the hum is really annoying. My buddy loaned me his Cobain for 3 months and I just couldn't put it down.

You know, I've noticed that Fender keeps forcing the black and dark brown kinda sunburst on every model. It really bothers me since I've been looking for a Precision Bass with the black-red-yellow kinda burst. It never feels right. If you look up the vintage ones like from the early 60s, the burst has way more contrast than the ones they're making today. Not only that, but they finish is always way too thick on new Fenders.

I say it again, the Squier guitar is the low-end version of Fender. However, both guitars have a distinct sound of its own. Personally, like the fender cobain jag because it sounds alot cleaner, but there are some nirvana songs that really fit well with the Squier jag.
