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.

[@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!

[@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?

[@timoconnell]

Daft Punk at the end was amazing!

[@TravW]

Need to hear a full version asap

[@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.

[@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 😂

[@dustyaudio]

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

[@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😃

[@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.

[@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.

[@ultrasignificantfootnote3378]

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

[@therealbettyjane]

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

[@aidantaylor117]

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😈

[@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!

[@martinclayton7260]

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

[@radud5176]

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

[@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.

[@gorlagOv]

Jags are cool but I do prefer the Jazzmaster.

[@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.

[@Nowandthen-zen]

Johnny Marr riff for 4000

[@ggilvis]

that '65 is foam green

[@cironicholas526]

The 'aniel Show!

[@artsmockmusic]

1772 Beethoven Signature Quad Reverb

[@fourth4649]

conasse

[@EVILJAMARR]

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

[@Alienkiwi730]

I think their most underrated guitar is the Telecaster Custom

[@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

[@iwaspaidtoflywithyoubatman]

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

[@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.

[@FilipeReishandmade]

Yesss more RHCP songs on the videos !

[@fionnagrant6636]

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

[@henrystewart3882]

this neon pink fuzz/octave jaguar is so badass

[@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).

[@davidironhead6341]

fender wont make a og one for some reason

[@dikinebaks]

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

[@drownmeinreverb]

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

[@MiguelMakesMusic]

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

[@BryanClark-gk6ie]

Duo sonic would be my pick for most underrated.

[@lovroknezevic8555]

That pink levi perry jag is craaazy

[@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.

[@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!??!?!

[@alparotti]

I wish I had a jaguar 😿

[@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

[@mcnitt]

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

[@mookie34545]

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

[@tidepoolbay]

Nice Work! WooF!

[@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.

[@sergeyv4908]

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

[@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.

[@Lauke101]

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

[@thecappy]

$30k

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

The built in fuzz is something that I'm surprised wasn't done by Fender back in the day, specifically for the Jaguar. It was attempted by Gibson around the same time with the eb-0f and shortly after with Vox and others, but it makes a ton more sense than a "rhythm switch" for a guitar that developed and marketed specifically for surf and modern guitarists in mind. On the Jazzmaster it made total sense.
