Classic, beefy tone

Unruly, square wave fuzz magic. This was my first pedal, and truly it adds a phenomenal color to my tone. There are few times where I've been at a jam or a concert where I haven't scrounged for an excuse to kick this thing on. I only hate that it takes up a quarter of my board space.

Versatile guitar with a sleek, beautiful aesthetic

I have owned my Fender Jaguar Special HH for seven years now, and despite heavy use, I have yet to have any issues with it. It has been a perfect guitar for me. Its wide range of tones and low price point make it a great guitar for the starving artist who can't afford a wider array of guitars.

Despite being typecast as one of Fender's least attractive instruments, the silver and black color scheme suits a Jaguar's indie vibe.

My only complaint is that the neck pickup is almost too dark--particularly for those of us playing with round wound strings. The guitar itself benefits rhythm guitar playing just because of its darker overall tone. I offset this by upping the treble on my clean boost, which is almost always on when I play.

Overall, this is one of my favorite instruments that stands up both tonally and aesthetically to guitars three and four times its price. Pick it up if you can find one.
