What? the Jag had and has great popularity as the go-to guitar with the 60s and later surf music scene, more so than the Jazzmaster. I have a Fender Strat and Jaguar, I always go right back to my Jag. just my personal taste and feel. After playing the Jag and then back to the Strat, the bridge on the Strat really bugs me, and can't stand the feel of it when playing. Jag bridge doesn't have that problem, Both are great guitars, Fender all the way.

JAGUAR ALL DAY LONG

haha awesome comment Davey

It is not about what blows what out of the water. And it is not like let's say SRV didn't have a choice between his and other models - there is a reason why he went with his instrument and not with a jag.

@@friskoflash5701 Of course, I agree, but my point was, had these legends instead played with a Jag, a lot of these elitist pretentious guitar players would overly praise the jag and knock the strat down. End of the day, it genuinely doesn't matter what you play, because when it gets recorded, the mixing engineer will cut a lot of frequencies to fit in the song xD

@@bassinblue True - you're totally correct about the impact/influence it would had.

Agreed. I love a lot of Strat players, but I don't like Strats. 1) asinine volume knob placement 2) no neck/bridge switching option (of course there are ways to mod this but, just for me, the middle pickup by itself is completely useless) 3) I don't like how they look.

A man of culture.

I wish Jags were more popular, really hard to find one for cheap or just the electronics to make a partscaster 😭

@@FelixHureau I guess it depends. If you're looking for used, the options are pretty limited because not many people buy jags/jazzmasters/mustangs in the first place, but you can get new Mexican-made Fender models for =/

aside from image, reliability is a huge one. it takes "objectively" more work and experience with difficult-to-source parts to get a strat and a jag playing on an equivalent level. strats and teles are also like the p-bass in that they just "sit" well in a mix, and studio engineers know what to do with them

@@hiroprotagonitis idk man, in terms of immediate playability; when you buy a strat or a jag, you're buying a strat o a jag. You don't need to source parts to start playing. If you're talking about guitars from a studio tech's perspective...well, that's a different story. Heh

@@salopro86 i mean, with the rates for techs these days is it a surprise most players have to think like/be their own techs these days? hahahah but i do mean immediate playability, as someone who's owned both - if you play cowboy chords 90% of the time you'll mostly be fine, but a millimetre in tweaking goes a longer way for an offset: loc-tite, shims, bridge rattling, angles, etc. VS say a tele where theres almost nothing to get wrong. adding the impact of the 80s on guitar culture, while its not impossible, it just literally takes more work to maintain those moving parts in a way that matches modern expectations of playability. tl;dr theres no getting around being a nerd to love an offset, and thats prob why so many of us do ;)

Well Strat doesn't have a rhythm circuit.. the jag no posit 2 and 4 so using them would ruin the same/same comparison between the two. Now that being said.. YEAH!! I'd like them to have been tossed in at the end!! Strat quack.. vs the EXTRA Jag setting of Rhythm circuit's darker tone!! It's the Jags and Jazzmasters "secret weapon"!

I have a squier jag..and the rythem circuit is worthless...its all muffled bass.. never use it

4th position pentatonic solos cure my anxiety as I play them

Thank you Robert! Glad it helped you

Yes, very cool band!

I got one! Squier 70's Vibe. I paid the guy 250 for it! SCORE!!!!!

yep strats all the way

So I plefer the Jag. I play the Jag with a Fender amp and I use my Marshall amp for the strat. The Marshall and the Jag is too much when using gain.

you want the mustang

or jagstang

Simple, buy a AVRI 62 jaguar or a AO60s jaguar. They both have AVRI 62 pickups that sound closer to a Strat. A lot more mellow than the jag in this video.

With pedals, you can make them sound similar, so I would choose them over the aesthetics

@@pstrokeslibsarctic what pedal do you suggest to make strat sound more like a jaguar? i bought a strat because its a strat :) but at the same time i want my sound to be more like "indie" like johny marr, dream pop ish..so instead of selling my strat and get a jaguar, what mod or pedal can i add to make my strat sound like jaguar, maybe not exactly..but u know what i mea.. appreciated.:)

@@zulhafizzariq3391 I’d say you need a good compressor pedal and chorus pedal to get a somewhat close Johnny Marr tone out of a Strat.

@@zulhafizzariq3391 Don't chase pedals. Best bet is not to try and sound like someone else. Focus on getting the best tones out of the gear you've got. Strats can do indie just fine. Strats are in Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Red Hot Chilli Peppers just off the top of my head. And how diverse are the sounds just out of those three bands?? And they're from the same genre using the same instrument. Buy a tube amp. That's my only advice. Pedals are like seasoning,use them like a pinch of salt on a well cooked meal that would still be nice even without the salt. I chased the pedal rabbit hole. Now my pedal board is way too big. It gets in the way...each pedal sucks tone (something I learned the hard way. Cos they don't tell ya that, do they!?)...and there is myriad points of failure. Not to mention the big money pit it was. It's easier to jjustify pedals at a couple hundred each ...but I think of that new guitar I want...I coulda had that and another amp instead! And good ones too. Be smarter than I was. (Sorry, didn't mean to preach. Take that or leave it, I guess)

@@lueymeteora1410 This guy knows whats up!^^ Marketing is a big persuader in making you think you need an offset guitar like a jag to get an indie sound (although I wouldn't trade my Jaguar for anything), but yeah listen to Luey's advice its definitely legit.

Awesome! I’m glad you like the CV Strat. I’m mainly a Strat guy myself, I like that subtle “laid back” feel to them.

Thanks! Glad you like the CV series. The Strat was made in China and the Jag was Indonesia.

Joey Anthony Guitar I'm planning on getting a CV 60's strat made in indonesia soon. what's it like compared to a mexican player strat? let me know if you know :p

Yea I have not had anything from the Player Series yet sorry. So I can’t really help you with that comparison. But, I feel the CVs are a good deal for the price. Some minor things always need tweaking but that’s it from what I have seen so far.

Joey Anthony Guitar Well I had a player series and sold it. it needed a fret leveling so badly. the nut was cut bad and had to replace it. overall it was a bad experience and I'm no longer under the impression that fender always make top products. I prefer a squire with some minor modifications over a fender with a bad fret job

You know I thought it would be real hard to get used to. But adapting to the shorter scale went pretty quick and smooth.

@@joeytheguitarplayer yeah thats kinda what I was curious with, I'm above average height 6'3'', bigger hands and was wondering if its rough to get used to shorter scale, it's basically between jaguar and jazzmaster for me.

@@killval849 Have got about 39 cm , depends on the occasion and yeah adapting to the shorter scale and the narrow talls became an obsession I will never miss again ! 🧢

That’s def not a musicians friend then💀

the guitar is just more probe to issues, like infamous bridge rattling. etc. Main reason for less popularity is Fenders Marketing team.

Jaguar is not a sweet sounding guitar and the attack may be too much for some people. But the personality of the Jaguar makes your sound more unique and interesting if you play certain styles of music. But look into Jazzmasters if you like the Jaguar, since it is the best guitar to put pedals into the sound, as it is very responsive to any pedal (even metal bands play with them for "cleaner" sounds)

la strato si suena con mas "twang", pero es cierto lo que dices

Nah man that’s what makes a jag a jag if you put a strat neck on it then it’s just a wana be jazzmaster

If you mean dot inlays and no binding that's depends of year series - 60s jaguar and jazzmaster have dot inlays and no binding, 70s trapezoid inlays and binding. You can find sometimes 60s cv jaguar, they selling limited with match headstock now

Thanks Ben!

@@joeytheguitarplayer rock on🍻🏄🤙

La mejor guitarra❤

They do look cool! Altho, I wish CV was offering a 60s Jag. I’m not big into blocks/binding on Fender style guitars. More of a dot neck guy.

@@joeytheguitarplayer unpopular opinion, feel the same though

@@joeytheguitarplayer theyre making CV 60s jaguars now

I love the Jag! But, I am definitely a “Strat Guy” for sure haha

Totally agree. I have a Tele and after cutting an album on a Jaguar, I’ve realized it’s the kind of guitar I was meant to play. I still love my Tele, but the Jaguar is truly something special.

What do you mean by this exactly? I have a tele and am thinking of getting a stray or jag

@@MickeyDs14 hey man, just curious, how does the sound of a Tele compare to the Jag? Does it have a good punch to it? I just ask because I'm looking to get a new guitar and I'm torn between a Danelectro NOS '59 or a Fender Telecaster. I want something bright but not too twangy and I worry about that with the Tele

@@salopro86 They have bites in different ways. Jag gets that compressed jangle sound naturally, but sometimes the lead position can leave a lot to be desired unless you’re playing with overdrive or distortion. It also has single coils, so it picks up dirt really well. My Tele is versatile because it can handle rhythmic strums a little better, as well as jazz. But my Tele has humbuckers, so overdrives and distortions are harder to dial in since the tone is naturally warmer. It’s also not as punchy without a compression pedal on my board. Both worth the money, but it really just depends on your genre and pickups. If you get a Tele with humbuckers, I think you’ll be golden!

@@MickeyDs14 right on man, thanks for the info. You make a good point about the bridge pickup leaving something to be desired on the Jag. I use a vox ac15, so it's pretty easy to dial up the channel and get natural tube overdrive, also use an mxr distortion+ and big muff for the heavier stuff, but on it's own, the bridge pickup sounds a bit thin. I've actually been thinking about trying to mod my jag with a p90 or jazzmaster pickup in the bridge position(I'll call it a Jagmaster, heh) to get a fatter lead tone. But as much as a Tele with humbuckers sounds pretty cool, I'm thinking of something brighter and single coil-y but with some growl, that's why I'm really interested in those Danelectro NOS 59's. Got the humbucker sound covered with Gibson LP studio
