I've always been curious about the Jag-Stang so when Fender announced a fresh run I jumped on it and asked for one. Thankfully they humored my request because I FLIPPIN LOVE THIS GUITAR!

So cool to see a video that shows the Jangstang doing something other than the grunge standards. Sounds great as a surf guitar and looks killer. Great video Ryan, secretly waiting for all the hate though.

I’m really loving this recent zeitgeist of “Guitarists re-examining conventional wisdom. “ Over the past 6 months, I’ve learned that I’ve been using the wrong string gauges for the last 20 years, the telecaster is the ideal guitar for heavy metal, and the Jagstang is an excellent surf guitar.

What makes a Telecaster good for metal? I've heard they are very versatile and I've heard Rick Beato play "Djent" on one. But what makes them good for metal. I've never owned one. One day I will. But your post piqued my interest.

Hey, sometimes the right gear can inspire you to play more. I just got a new pedal thats got me picking up my guitar 10 or 12 times/day lol. I mean, I already couldn't go more than 12 hours without playing it at least a couple of times but my dang fingers were hurting the other night and that hasn't happened in like 17 months and I've only been playing for maybe 19 months?

I like to drop a small nylon ball into the set screw hole before tightening down the tremolo. It eliminates metal on metal contact wear that leads to loosening, holds it in just as well, and makes the swiveling of the arm much smoother. Highly recommend fans of the dynamic vibrato try it out! I'm pretty sure McMaster Carr sells set screws with nylon tips formed right on the screw, but I've got a ton of the little balls, so I haven't ever bothered checking to confirm.

Proof once again that the best guitar for what you're playing is the one that makes you want to play whatever it is when you pick it up. I honestly feel any guitar with a vibrato system can be a surf guitar if it makes someone want to play surf.

Mustang trems are great vibratos, especially for surf - the key to setting them up is to screw down the bridge at the cigar tube so nothing moves and then gradually unscrew it until you have proper tension (which is what essentially what you also do with a Strat by adjusting the backplate spring claw).

The internet has been lying to us all about the mustang vibrato! Those who say it's unstable never had it properly set up. Furthermore, I prefer to use the vibrato WITHOUT the wiggle stick. I always use my palm to work the "cigar" instead. I feel like it let's me express my modulations and pulls & dives more accurately, like is an extension of me, a part of me, almost. Give it a shot! So, contrary to what many may say, the jag-stang and the mustang are MY two go-to's for surf guitar.
