Great guitar with small problems

I never had a jag before so I bought this stunning guitar that was hanging in a guitar shop one day. Loved at first sight.

I love how Jaguars suits the way I play, I like the limitation of the short scale and the vintage 7.25 radius.

The bridge is not that bad, I replaced mine with a fender Johnny Marr one (52mm) cause i find it a bit more reliable thanks to the bushing inside, in fact due to the vibration of the guitar the screws in the bridge tend to unscrew themself lowering the string action, but if that doesn’t mither you and the set up is done right the stock bridge absolutely fine.

Key point: The guitar really needed a shim in the neck I think that’s essential for a good set up. With jags is all about string tension. (I like to put a .6mm in my jags.)

The fret work on this guitar could have been done better, a little more attention to details would be appreciated but the aged thin neck feels great to play. That’s mint

The relic on this guitar is actually pretty good and the sound is spot on! I like the bright jangly American vintage 65 pickups.

Every time I play this jag in a band my guitar sits just above others , it has a lot of presence and it cut right through the mix. (Even more than a strat or a Les Paul in my opinion)

If you’re going to buy this guitar I’d suggest to replace the annoying switching system with a telecaster 4 way switch. Definitely worth it!

In a nutshell, a great guitar.

Speced Up Jaguar

So this jaguar came with the stock 60's style bridge and trem. These have now been changed for A Mastery Bridge and thimbles (as it is Mexican made) and a StayTrem replacement Trem arm and collet which will hold the arm in the place you leave it instead of it dropping down.

Ok, so the latest mod on here is that I replaced the non locking tremolo unit and Stay Trem arm with a locking tremolo unit off of a Johnny Marr jaguar and have also started experimenting with flatwound on the jaguar which just reduces that nasty screeching when you slide your fingers up and down the strings.

The Jaguar has now had some further upgrades. A bone nut has been added which has slightly adjusted the string spacing so it is not cramped any more.

New larger knobs have been added on the lead channel so they can be easily adjusted during songs.

The bass cut sitch has now been rewired so that it turns both of the pickups into a wide range humbucker when selected for both the Rhythm and Lead channels.

The small switch that switches between the Rhythm and Lead channels has been replaced with a larger toggle switch so that you can easily hit the switch without interupting your playing when you want to easily change your sound.
