Solder a resistor on the pot to change the value. Its much cheaper than buying new pots. For example a 150k resistor will reduce a 500k pot to 250k. Go to electrical supplies shop and try different value resistors untill you find the ohm rating on the pot that you want. Solder the resistor between the 2 outer lugs of the pot and thats it !

Bridge is fine. Locktite the height screws on it, shim the neck so the bridge sits high. It will stay in tune.

Have one just like yours that we are using at this exact moment for work travel so we won’t be heartbroken if something happens to it. Agree with your assessments and in our opinion the stock pickups feel somewhat compressed, overly midrangy and missing some top end so glad to see you have replacements in yours.

I used furnace tape that has conductive adhesive for the bridge posts. Then the bridge ground still conducts through the bridge for sure.

Got mu surf green 70s classic vibe jaguar from sweetwater. Setup is good, plays great. Not going to change anything unless I need to.

Nice review. I just don’t have any tuning issues. I’m not doing dive bombs on the tremolo. I’m just doing flourishes but having no issues. I’ve got around 20 guitars including a couple of high end US fenders and I’m loving this Squier.

I'm going to predict that a Fender neck came along at the right price and you couldn't resist!

You could also get some nylon things that will fit over the chrome legs in the bridge, like on the Johnny Marr bridge.

Great review and great shirt!!

Thanks for the review. I am seriuosly looking at it (by the way, If you put 500 k pots it will be even brighter)

gonna copy you on those pots sick video i love the shell pink with the pickguard!

Thanks for the review. I am aeriuosly looking at it (by the way, If you put 500 k pots it will be even brighter)

Thanks for your review, just got one in daphne blue from Musicians Friend for $319 USD, it is a blem but I can't see anything wrong with it, plays pretty well out of the box, the action is a bit high for me but I tend to drive thru things like that

Thanks for the review. I have a 2003 Fender AVRI 62 Jazzmaster I bought new back then. I can't spend a lot on another guitar but want a Jaguar and thinking of this model. I just liked and subscribed!

2:22 guess that's why the only new Jaguar model /the squier 2021/ is a hardtail :P may order one in gold , they have coil split and roasted maple neck... if we are doomed to do mods for decent temolos, then buying that hardtail aint a big problem

She’s a beaut!

i been playing Jaguars for years I have a 1962 abd 1965 Jauar guitars 2017 I purchase the Squire Fender VM Jaguar they all sound the same as to the bridge it suppose to float with the tremolo arm. This the feature employed by Leo Fender The Bridge has to be set up I have no problems with strings flying off the bridge saddles. Jaguar guitars are set up that way I have a kink of replacing parts on a guitar that was originally designed. All players are different I am 80 years old been picking for 75 years. These Squire guitars are great for the money they can not be beaten and still get the same quality of the Fender original. In 1962 My Jaguar cost me $369.00 A months salary for most Americans at that time so you can amaigin the cost of these things. Lucky I had a job working for Union Oil Co. Most peoiple who had these guitars came from parents that had money to buy them All Fender guitars were built to Order if you paid cash for it half went down when the guitasr was completed you paid the remainder Some times you will see a floor model but not for sell back then Now days a lot of oppertunity of owning anything Fenderr makes as long as youi have the money

Is the nut actually bone? Also, offsets in general have become super popular recently, which is nice because they're rad looking guitars!

I bought a CV Jag and really didn't like it, especially the bridge pickup. I changed it with a Hot Rails, and still didn't love it. Finally found a buyer for it. Still, there's something nagging me to get a Japanese Jag some day...

What's strange is the fact that my Classic Vibe Jazzmaster also suffered from the issue of the bridge getting stuck towards the front of back. Not sure what causes this. Shimming the neck helps, but not entirely. Might be the internal shape of the thimbles on the CVs in particular. Or maybe the strings glide across the bridge too easily, when they should actually stick to the bridge and force it to rock (like with the threaded saddles). My Fender jaguar never had this issue, with or without a shim. It has American thimbles and an American threaded vintage style bridge, which leaves it plenty of room to rock back and forth as it should, but it always returns to center no matter what.

Great review, I am thinking of buying my first guitar and I am a little undecided, can I play punk with this guitar?

Hi, could you tell me where you got the pickguard from ? Thanks

Wait, why are u wearing Milan football clun t shirt

The problem I have with that guitar is that trem use puts the strings slightly out of tune. I changed the bridge to a Mastery and a luthier worked on the nut but trem use is still a detuning problem. Also string action is still too high because if I lower the strings more they choke when bent.

Vraiment bien.

Jim, I just scored a 2020 CV Jag for cheap and have a general question: Do the replacement tremolo and mustang bridge designed for USA Jags just drop in? The old metric vs imperial question. Thanks for the videos. This is going to be my mod project!

I don’t like bridges that move but to play devils advocate, aren’t the bridges suppose to move by design.

Forget electrical tape. Use plumbers tape.

Will normal fender jaguar pickgaurds fit on the Squier or is that one custom made

I've been wanting to get myself a shell pink Jag. If you're ever considering selling it, hit me up!

Is the neck thin on this one?

Boring video!!!! (bla bla bla)
