Have to say that after I had a quick go on yours, and having never actually played a vintage Jag, it really was utterly special. The body and neck actually felt as slick as yer superstrat airfoil nonsense (and I mean that in a good way), neck was great, action was great, sounded sweet. I wouldn't hesitate to get an equivelent if I had the cash for one.Mike wrote:The old Jaguar had a jumpy bridge, lower output, hums more and is harder to play up the dusty end of the neck, but something about it makes me smile a whole lot, and I love playing it in the band - so decision made really.
Who owns a Tele and a Jaguar???

I took our Sonic Blue Jag home this past year and dropped it off at Fredo's abode for friendly keeping, but am missing a lot as of late. I think I'd honestly get on just fine with the addition of a buzzstop and all its quirks, and think I now kinda "get it", so much more so now that I'm away from it.
Our lovely Cindicaster Televersary is simply perfect in construction and feel, and gets almost as much love as the CIJ Jazzmaster, though the touch of a shortscale is really addicting and has its own endearing qualities. All in all, the tension of a set of 11-46/52s on a 25" neck is the best fit for my glove, yet banging around on the Jag strung up heavy is something that brings a youthfully ambitious smile to the face. Remarkably different beasts with equal heaps of charm.

Much appreciated; believe it or not words like these do make me feel less "heart-in-mouth-ashamed" at having spent £1,700 on a guitar when I'm no virtuoso.Dave wrote:Have to say that after I had a quick go on yours, and having never actually played a vintage Jag, it really was utterly special.
