[@Lomoholga2]

I want to hear more about the actual Jaguar in Paraguay lol

[@ryfipassword]

depending on what music scene you're in, Jags are anything but underrated

[@snapfinger1]

The Jag was neglected from the waning of surf in the early ‘70 until its resurgence w/ punk/new wave late ‘70s. Early ‘90’s grunge winner.

[@hoilst265]

Yeah, the Jag was was just thirty years ahead of the times. I swear, that long stretch of strings, resonating behind the bridge, is the sound of the 90s.

[@FarmerSlideJoeBob]

To me, the Jaguar is my personal Strat. I own an olympic white Fender Crafted in Japan Jaguar, 2002-2004 and it's the most joy to play with it, including the ways how you can change the tone with a Jag😃

[@MineLikeMeMusic]

Nice RHCP reference at 5:30ish minute mark. One of klinghoffer’s best riffs. So pretty and quirky. Nicely done. That’s also one of the songs that made me want a Jag. Not sure if he used one on this or not though. 😂

[@MineLikeMeMusic]

And “The Power of Right” at 9:45 👍🏻 🤩

[@ghnriq]

What song is this riff from?

[@lassesuurmunne8340]

omg that burgundy mist Jag is a dream! what an awesome video. My favourite two Fenders are Mustangs and Jags. The most comfortable to play for me, and I love the sound of both and the look 🙏 loved this video!

[@curtismager9281]

I bought a KO johnny marr Jaguar from CME about 12 years ago. Absolutely brilliant guitar. Thank You CME!!! Setup nicely.

[@fionnagrant6636]

Beautiful. I wonder if JK is making room for more guitars in his collection?

[@ChaosHornet]

I clicked on this video due to confirmation bias as my Jag is my number one guitar. I find it to be extremely versatile tonally (and cool to look at).

[@lknez13]

That pink levi perry jag is craaazy

[@dustyaudio]

16:10 for the Bass VI people. Always wondered what that was about, thanks!

[@timoconnell]

Daft Punk at the end was amazing!

[@TravW]

Need to hear a full version asap

[@teensupertiger]

you mess up the switches explanation. The "strangled" switch is the one closest to the volume knob. The middle swicth is the bridge on off. The switch close to the neck is for the neck pickup.

[@flapjack413]

Thank you. I was just checking to see if anyone else clarified that before I did.

[@GALACTIVATION]

Definitely what’s up with that, Mr. I know everything about jags 😂

[@mortonwilson795]

Been researching Jaguars recently - very interested to try the Johnny Marr Jag - the mods he asked Fender to put in make a lot of sense to me (for my style, anyway). The recentish Gold Foil Jazzmaster also seems to be pretty interesting.

[@HardBoiledKafka]

That was a fantastic video. Even for someone who knows almost knows everything about Jags. Great guys, great playing. Red Hot marks and so on ...

[@chicagomusicexchange]

Much appreciated! 🤘🤘

[@henrystewart3882]

this neon pink fuzz/octave jaguar is so badass

[@Alienkiwi730]

I think their most underrated guitar is the Telecaster Custom

[@itgoesitgoesitgoesguillotine]

The 24" scale is actually just as close to Gibson's 24.75" scale length as Fender's traditional 25.5" scale

[@flapjack413]

No, Gibson's so called 24 3/4" scale is actually 24.594", or roughly 24 9/16". My jags definitely feel closer to my LP than my jazzmaster compared to my LP. But yeah, if the Les Paul were a true 24.75", then yeah, it would be right in the middle of the two.

[@WillieStratton]

🤯

[@FilipeReishandmade]

Yesss more RHCP songs on the videos !

[@EVILJAMARR]

Underratted?! I'm looking for a killer Jag right now! Been looking a few years for the perfect Jaguar.

[@michaelrubin9981]

Would love to see a picture of that Jaguar under the pickguard because to my eyes that’s undoubtedly Foam Green. I have a couple of original sonic blue Instruments, faded and unfaded. Neither of them looks anything like this. I briefly owned a 1966 Foam Green Jaguar and it was exactly this shade of green under the pickguard

[@Lomoholga2]

I like how he opens with “oh yeah we fed this wild Jaguar chickens back home in Paraguay 🇵🇾 all the time and was kinda our pet…” and then they just bypass that altogether lol

[@Lauke101]

Love these long form videos, love the banter that's sprinkled in and love these beautiful guitars! Finally, HELL YEAH FU MANCHU RIFFS!

[@iwaspaidtoflywithyoubatman]

I don't have room for anymore guitars. But my next guitar is gonna be a Johnny Marr Jaguar.😁

[@codyhernandez8971]

I’m about to start on my first guitar project it’s going to be a jaguar guitar and I can wait to make it I love the offset guitars

[@MiguelMakesMusic]

Sweet guitars, would love to hear Nathaniel give the rundown next time.

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Duo sonic would be my pick for most underrated.

[@teddnagurski5583]

I remember in the 80's We Buy Used Guitars on 48th Street in NYC was full of used vintage Jaguars and Jazzmasters for dirt cheap. Nobody wanted them. Then Nirvana came out and the prices went through the roof.

[@sidwhelan6918]

I bought my first Strat there in the early 80’s. Wish I had been clairvoyant and bought up a bunch of those vintage axes that were so (relatively ) cheap, though it didn’t seem cheap at the time.

[@ultrasignificantfootnote3378]

I want a Jazzguar Master , why did they never make it ?🤔

[@matthewsommerville88]

EDIT: I forgot I could prolly walk into your store and find a decently priced period accurate American Jag. I really miss living down the street from you guys in Lakeview!! God I want a Jag so damn bad. I love the short scale, and I love my Duo Sonic but I need it! Super bummed I missed out a few years back when they were making these in the American Standard line, now you have to get something that is affordable but not really period correct or a REALLY expensive American model. Why did Fender take them off the standard line after like 2019!??!?!

[@shadowstorm1928]

Is there any known examples of a Jaguar with a humbucker at the bridge like on a Texas flood type strat?

[@dikinebaks]

Haha that's a funny jaguar joke *shows the picture of a baby jaguar* 🤯🤯🤯

[@thisis4ever1]

my very first and the only fender guitar i have atm is a japanese made jaguar hh special. such a great guitar. my two favorite fenders have to be jaguars and mustangs but i love them all. i just want them all😈

[@therealbettyjane]

Great video, informative, & funny stuff.... Yes to "Long Form". Yes to Nathaniel's ~~private~~ ••Fan Channel•• ✌️😅🎶🎶🎶✨️

[@kellyswoodyard]

I wanted a fiesta red Jaguar for my first guitar. Here where I live in Australia, back in the late '60,'s a Jag was about $300. There was no way known my folks could come up with that sort of cash for my first guitar. I had a habit of starting something, then shortly thereafter, I'd drop it, bored with that. But I have stuck with playing guitar. My first guitar was a Dutch mongrel thing called an Egmond. There has never been a bigger piece of shit with strings attached, than this. I did a Pete Townsend with it. I have a good, modest, selection now, and at 71, that will probably do me. We shall see.

[@gorlagOv]

Jags are cool but I do prefer the Jazzmaster.

[@ebikes2xs159]

Nathaniel needs to bring the Surf. Surf music inspired a lot of people to pick-up a guitar.

[@chicagomusicexchange]

@@ebikes2xs159 check out our most recent Full Band Friday! We’ve also done a cover or the Hawaii 5-0 theme!

[@marcraygun6290]

I have been jazzmaster guy generally though had 2003japanese jaguar first but then got 62 jazzmaster and jaguar seemed shrull by conparison , then got 94 jaguar the same thing swapped that for japanese jazzmaster same thing at this point i realised it wasn't the jaguars it was japanese fender pickups.

[@tidepoolbay]

Nice Work! WooF!

[@mookie34545]

I've got a Mexican jaguar special HH and I love playing it, but absolutely hate doing maintenance on it.

[@radud5176]

These are cool but the XJ220 is my fav Jaguar, Nathaniel said it right

[@drownmeinreverb]

1772 Quad Reverb? I bet Beethoven was really loving that amp before Josh Klinghoffer got it.

[@alparotti]

I wish I had a jaguar 😿

[@xcx8646]

This video carries on the long KZbin tradition of Jaguars sounding absolutely terrible. They are so misunderstood by modern players who never use the 'rhythm circuit' or who swap out the pots for 500 or 250k. It's a guitar of its time. Almost stubbornly so. Stick heavy flatwound strings on and play clean and every single switch, pickup, setting and sound makes perfect sense. Most modern players are going by looks alone and would be better served with a Tele or Les Paul.

[@perecaramba3319]

I am not agree: green one is a SEAFOAM GREEN, no a SONIC BLUE with yellow lacker. And SONIC BLUE is not, is a Daphne Blue.

[@mcnitt]

30 minute video and zero mention of Johnny Marr's signature Jag? Criminal.

[@ggilvis]

that '65 is foam green

[@artsmockmusic]

1772 Beethoven Signature Quad Reverb

[@Nowandthen-zen]

Johnny Marr riff for 4000

[@chaz32]

Aren't the metallics rarer purely because you had to pay extra? They're all DuPont car colours of course but the metallic would have to be mixed specially. Most store models or simple catalogue orders would adhere to the usual colours.

[@cironicholas526]

The 'aniel Show!

[@martinclayton7260]

Please Fender, can I have one of those Burgundy mist metallic Jaguar's? I really want one!

[@davidironhead6341]

fender wont make a og one for some reason

[@starshineraiser6729]

I love Jaguars but they’re no fun to shop for if your budget is like3-4k. There’s nothing out there but overpriced beaters that have been through hell. I just got a 7-1/2lb AV2 Jazzmaster for $2500 and it’s incredible.

[@globalnova]

he's not offloading his best guitars, we all know that.

[@thecappy]

$30k

[@sergeyv4908]

How is Jaguar underrated ? Not at all. Expensive - yes, mostly unachievable but not underrated. And Duosonic IMHO was.
