[@jackgrattan1447]

"I'm Henry the VIII I am, Henry the VIII I am, I am. I got married to the widow next door, she's been married seven times before. And everyone was a Henry, she wouldn't wed a Willie or a Sam. I'm the eighth old man I'm Henry, Henry the VIII I am. Second verse, same as the first..."

[@morioh6505]

Jack Grattan what is this?

[@jackgrattan1447]

It's a song by Herman's Hermits.

[@oxyluswow9267]

You can always expect a comment from me on RHCP!!

[@zebdoz333]

lol, start the weekend? looks like he has a head start on it lol

[@zebdoz333]

p.s. i like that jag myself tho i think i would want to check out how it feels

[@sebastianfernandez9056]

You think he’ll ever play a my bloody valentine song with an offset?

[@wezzlyn]

Sebastián Probably not. He's not a pedal guy. No way he'd play shoegaze

[@desmondteague2441]

dut dut dut dut VREEEEEE VREOWWWWW VREEEE VREEEOWWW

[@luizspindola]

If he ever reviews a vacuum cleaner

[@tonymontoya8718]

Do a Rickenbacker someday.

[@BSPNode]

Scott Trutt not enough

[@honnaconna7312]

Please!!!! Manners cost nowt

[@masterhorax]

They did a short scale because it was made for surf music, and it was thought to be easier to play faster licks. I got that from several surf music history books. Either way Jags are awesome!

[@TheDude4077]

One underappreciated thing about the offsets is their ability to use the rhythm circuit as a kill switch. Just roll back the volume on the rhythm circuit to zero, and bam! the rhythm circuit switch is now a makeshift kill switch!

[@blakemcnamara9105]

Never even thought of that!

[@joebodynobody764]

Rough day? C'mon, you have the coolest job ever.

[@mbrymckinney1]

The short scale was in response to players not liking how the normal fender scale felt on the Jazzmaster. Leo also thought it might make the guitar appeal to Gibson players.

[@TheGUnit911]

Mark can you please play Spacehog- In The meantime

[@Bodyknowledge77]

I gots a tele this lovely color..much younger, cheaper(Squier),and less playable.... 1. Red Hot Chili Peppers " Scar Tissue" 2. Weezer "Hash Pipe" 3. Nirvana " In Bloom".. Sweet guit and tunes to end the week not weakly!

[@julianpottermusic]

I Need A Jaguar Badly

[@Lindamacishere]

Julian Potter Music I’m an owner of a USA pro jag and they’re great😄

[@fezzes428]

Julian Potter Music hipster in training

[@jlucero5719]

Did you get one yet?

[@gwillypdawg]

Can you play some descendents or some black flag or maybe some bad brains my birthday was on the 13th and i need this?

[@lueyteledeluxe7457]

How very strange! I, myself, wrote this exact comment in another video entirely. It was on a blues backing track in Am. That should suddenly make the comment make sense. I wonder what happened..? Did George Prewitt just copy and paste my comment (for no conceivable reason...)? (But even then it wouldn't make sense because his comment is a year old, and I made this comment just one or two months ago!) ....Or did Utube glitch and send my own msg back to me, like a filler of sorts, as I scrolled through comments..? I don't know, I'm grasping at straws! I can't explain it. Can you? ..... That message is quite unique in its' phrasing, its' sentiment and its' elaborate use of emojis... I just can't believe that a complete coincidence has just occurred. Maybe this George Prewitt can shed some light on this enigma! George, if you are reading this, please... Do you recall making any such comment?

[@joemamma3288]

I like how he pays homage to cobain when he plays the jaguars.

[@dakotamiller1722]

Matthew Andrews not sure he hated it, but he definitely enjoyed playing the mustang more. They are a lot lighter and had different pickup layouts

[@dakotamiller1722]

Matthew Andrews yeah, that's why he kept around the shit strat to destroy

[@antthomas7916]

Matthew Andrews He hated his jag-stang, not his regular jaguar.

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

Yeah, he loved his mustangs in all forms, it's why he had several, but his Jaguar he particularly loved because when he bought it, it already had all the perfect modifications for him done to it. You can imagine there aren't that many vintage lefty Fenders out there, but finding a lefty Jag modded for a smaller faster neck, two dimarzio humbuckers, simpler 3 way switch, tune-matic bridge... you can imagine he'd be pumped. All in a pre internet age, found locally in the LA recycler, right before they went into studio to record Nevermind. It even came with a flight case. Same deal with the lefty completion blue 69 Mustang, bought locally right before going in studio. I imagine a little fate was in play.

[@joemamma3288]

I thought I had read everything about him but I've never heard that...good info.

[@AndrewKarczewski]

I would love to buy this Jaguar - or maybe a 1962 with slab fretboard

[@kalu_h]

Thats a good wiggle stick

[@wanderingsurf2842]

kalu h yeah, so long

[@Kingnoclout]

Can I get a birthday shout out Tuesday (tomorrow)??

[@user-rf5px3gh3p]

March 10th my 21st birthday it’s a freakin straturday. I love the classics like the Beatles, and the stones, and I really dig blues rock, SRV is always good too. I’d love to be completely bombed the night of my 21st and see that you guys gave me a shoutout. That would make my whole birthday.

[@danwatts2019]

John C happy birthday in advance man, same date as mine

[@user-rf5px3gh3p]

Happy birthday brother!

[@ritchtaylor3831]

Coulda done some Sonic Youth. Duh!!

[@fluroflash2803]

Please play some Rory Gallagher

[@curtiscole7149]

Fluro Flash- That's asking a lot....but dig you know of Rory....he was a beast...Jimi Hendrix stated he is the best Guitarist he ever heard....but I think Jimi said that of 2 others

[@davids9192]

Rory was a unique talent. Saw him at his best in ‘74. Very few guitarists could get near emulating his style. Good as Mark is he would struggle with Walk on Hot Coals solo!

[@ianmoloney4579]

Rory gallagher doesn't get enough praise now a days

[@angeladiffenderfer2805]

Fluro Flash. Much agreed, love the show! He never plays Foghat or Ten Years After either

[@angeladiffenderfer2805]

Fluro Fl

[@dominicheslop8762]

Please could you play some muse considering they killed it in Paris with the by request concert

[@Smagledorf]

Got to love these Fenders, but you know what we're missing? A good ol' Maton! Gotta do a Maton!

[@liligman]

This. This is the video I subscribed to this channel for!! (Not to say the others aren't great). This is just literally everything I want in a guitar with all my favorite bands. I wish they put the sticker price in the description. I know it's probably not something I could responsibly afford right now 😂. But man, oh man this guitar is the one

[@88erru]

Love the jag. And the cheap trick tshirt!!!

[@timothylawrence707]

The second song sounded like the intro to The Munsters.

[@whatnow3773]

Yes ... RIP Kurt

[@russellparratt9859]

To all these Jaguar fans, are you familiar with the playing of Rowland Howard with the Birthday Party? ......the most creative and idiosyncratic playing of a Fender Jaguar, ever.

[@anthonykueber6098]

Matching headstocks on a Fender always look wrong. Guitars should play the blues....they should never be painted blue.

[@blakemcnamara9105]

This guy doesn't sound like he's crazy about reviewing the Jaguar unlike Lemmo.

[@sneakking101]

Hey if you get a Tele for Teletuesday, can you play some new Radiohead songs! 😊😊😊😊It’s my 6,265th day of staying alive!!

[@nikosk.8216]

Ooh guys!!!!! You SHOULD have a guy playing while you're talking. It's nice when there's some live music in the video. But not that loud. Just try it once!!!

[@TheGBs1972]

I have a 62…However, Johnny Marr Jag is so much better…but obviously doesn’t quite have the vibe

[@SkyMooseInc]

I have a 1965 Olympic White Mustang with a Slab board neck. :o

[@60s70s80sMusicFan]

Awesome Chili Peppers cover- I like the Nirvana, don't know Weezer that well. They released many albums over the years.

[@Eggnoodlesandketchup3]

Beautiful clean sound. Could be anything dirty.

[@I.am_Groot]

I didn't wanna click the Thumbs Up.. mine was #421. DUDE!!

[@2506INF]

Next time you get a Gibson J-200 in natural finish, might you play Mark Collie’s “In Time” for Flattop Friday?

[@davidlewis7363]

They do have a very distinctive tone - not quite stratty but almost a Gretsch... somewhere in-between there...

[@ColdToiletSeats]

surprised how amazing this one sounds

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

Herman's Hermits were the Justin Bieber's of my generation. I always wanted Keef to bitch slap em.

[@punky4673]

Hey Mark, Would you wish a Happy Birthday to my little baby girl Anastasia who has turned One on monday ? She applauses when she sees your face on the TV screen or when you start to play :) She LOVES the Ramones ! 🤘 It would be so great for us ;) Cheers from France 👍

[@soulagent79]

If you shim the neck and raise the bridge, so there's more string-pressure on the saddles, most Jags and Jazzmasters play just fine.

[@desmondteague2441]

The secret to the Jags is the Mustang bridge & 12 gauge strings. Smoothest & most stable vibrato unit I've ever played.

[@max12fisher]

Great set list and RAD guitar. One of my next purchases is gonna be a j mascis jazzmaster. But I like a jag too

[@ahhcrickets]

Hey Mark, were the custom colors done only with matching headstock?

[@HellcatCustoms]

That's a very Pelhamy looking Lake Placid Blue. My Tele has a lot more green in the color. Still sweet as hell tho!

[@songwriterjj6022]

I had a 67 Jag. I had the same problem with the strings popping out.

[@jamescarter4175]

What's with the obsession with excrement? Otherwise another great review.

[@jasonwardenburg5920]

what are you guys thinking about the potential gibson bankruptcy?

[@FallingInLine]

Chicken gonna cluck. Hows the transmission chicken head

[@grady_co]

Absolutely adored that song selection today Mark!!!

[@monzo9999]

You also could've played under the bridge

[@stuartskaggs9955]

Tele-Tuesday: Custom Color Poopy Brown

[@Opry99er]

8:20 to hear Mark use the bridge pickup as a microphone

[@ohrofax]

much money for a boring unimportant guitar buy a much cheaper ibanez or harley benton and do the same

[@jobckts682]

Lake placid blue has different effect on each Axe. All cool.

[@richszmal1653]

Stunning git fiddle. We've seen poopy brown guitars but will we ever see a pee yellow one?

[@MrAngusboy]

I swear RHCP played one of these in there song scar tissue

[@hankpalomino3592]

lmao thats prolly john frusciantes that got stolen

[@dennisbroadbear6011]

Love your guitar work.

[@cocoplexplex]

this used to be my favourite Strat colour, but then i took an arrow to the knee

[@Anson120]

Short scale tend to cut through the ovaltine mix.

[@wanderingsurf2842]

Thanks for the Nirvana!

[@DLawrenceMarketing]

Amazing custom color Mr. Agnesi.

[@raditx5]

Matching headstock :3

[@copierguy1961A]

Look at those strings flop...

[@Sig8066]

Still no Vox guitars...ugh

[@mattparrish123]

Could you start doing leads on these gotd

[@jordanmayer5932]

Fuck that thing sounds nice

[@dukealbert7017]

Now That's a beaut!

[@6stringsandthetruth]

I got 8 Strats but not 1 Jag. I need to sort that out.

[@SuperMikesweeney]

How do you not love what you do?

[@tylermccune7092]

Not a big jag guy but that thing is yummy

[@SupernalOne]

have a great weekend, guys

[@chopperking007]

Dis won sound good bruva

[@lauramoore9659]

I THINK I Need a Soda Pop!!!!

[@brianliscano2659]

Hipsters wet dream!!!

[@acarlovonsexron1994]

They were made short scale under the assumption that surf guitarists- who they were originally designed for- would have an easier time pulling off fast and technical leads. Same reason for the mute and hi end switch: built around staccato and reverb'd riff-ery.

[@lueyteledeluxe7457]

Damn! That Jag is Killer!!

[@danielsgrunge]

Offsets are so awesome

[@xfredoux]

sounds just great

[@logantylerb.5299]

Holy cow. No words.

[@andrewpappas9311]

Neck Pickup: Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers Middle Pickup: Hash Pipe - Weezer Bridge Pickup: In Bloom - Nirvana

[@DaigoParry]

Telemuhcasters. XD

[@JohnnyArtPavlou]

Neck pickup...sweet!

[@Avalanche1368]

That right there is a great sounding Jag............Of course it could be the Bourbon talking.....

[@davebutcher8150]

Love it.

[@matthewpaluch777]

Happy hip/jag STRATURDAY. No Strat- No Robin Trower- Not worth watching-

[@elephantricity]

dear god.......LPB jag is probably my favorite guitar ever in terms of aesthetics.

[@jamescooper5090]

Yep,, Yeah man!

[@BreadandFaxes]

I hope they get some Jazzmasters in soon. I’m tired of seeing jaguars. They’re cool guitars, but, damn.

[@pattomuso]

My first 'good' electric was one of these - 1975 to 1981.....should NEVER have traded it!

[@daegan00]

Hol up; has anyone heard from carlosguitarlos lately? Is he alright?

[@davids9192]

Daegan AAAAAAAH!!!

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket and The Jag!

[@malioliver2082]

1st song: Scar Tissue - RHCP 2nd song: Hash Pipe - Weezer 3rd song: In Bloom - Nirvana kickass guitar today mark, play some badfinger next time ;))

[@StephenNaveed]

Really microphonic sounding bridge pickup. Still a cool guitar though.

[@localguy8]

Yes Mrs. Brown you got a lovely daughter by Herman Hermits I even saw the movie Mrs Brown is a dog FYI. Love n peace

[@austinmeredith68]

My 28th birthday is Sunday! A shoutout would make my year! Keep up the awesome show guys!!

[@triplelindys]

Whaaaaaaat? I got a Lake Placid Blue Strat...love that color and Pelham Blue on a Gibson. Top notch...
