I zoomed in on his hand and it looked and sounded like an Ebow to me. If it's not actually an Ebow, it's something that does exactly the same thing in a slightly different form.

I had one of those for my first proper guitar amp about 25 years ago. Not a bad amp at all. I'm guessing the proper impedence is 8 ohms. I'm not sure I know of a 1x12 Fender that isn't.

It's an Ebow.

I have a bunch of parts on hand to upgrade mine, but honestly, it's just fine stock.

I really don't understand paying $300 for a fuzz pedal. They're usually pretty simple electronically, which makes them relatively cheap and easy to build. A nice box or an association with a famous player isn't worth a 500% mark up IMO.

These are great guitars. It's funny, when the only options were MIJ, AVRI, or vintage, people ragged on the MIJs, but now that there's something cheaper than the MIJs, everyone talks about how great the MIJs are. I've owned two Japanese Jags, and I honestly prefer my Squier.

It's not that hard to find AVRI Jags at that price point.
