Why I keep coming back to the Jaguar

[rustyshackleford]

I've been an SG guy for quite some time and my first good guitar was an SG Classic with P90s that I got on Barack Obama's inauguration day. So I was feeling bored last summer and I thought, I'll get a CP Jaguar why not! Anywoo, since I got it last September I can probably count on one hand how many times I've played my SG. Now I wanna get one of those Squires so I can have the traditional trem placement and bridge for all kinds of Sonic Youth insanity

Now I really want to fix my botched target burst. This thing deserves a better finish.

Looking better now (neck is a scrap crap neck I'm just using as a handle while painting)

Songs just seem to jump out of my Jaguar. The sound of it makes music come alive. Viva la Jaguar!

Soon I will join this club .

One more here that loves the Jaguar..

I was for the last year playing a tele I bought. I don't buy many guitars, so I gave her a fair chance, it sounded nice and my Jaguar needed some time off, the frets are getting flat on it. But each time I came back to it the magic was there. It is not only how it sounds, it changes the way I play guitar, a different approach caused by how the guitar is, and the 11s. Different things happen.

Last week I sold the tele and I'm looking now for my second Jaguar!.

just got back on the jaguar tip myself. played a jazzmaster for the past 4 years, and forgot how exciting it is to play a short scale guitar. I feel the jaguar is just what I need. perfect tremolo, fender pickups, neck shapes, and familiar jm style body but a new scale to play it on. Keeps you on your feet.

here it is in action

Finished for now.

I might try one more "revision" eventually, but it's good enough for a while.

I only have my jag, but i had the oportunity to play for a time with gibson SG, Epiphone Sg, Les Paul Jr, Les Paul (chinese), Mexican Strat, Partsmaster Telecaster, Epiphone casino, and some more less relevant guitars, and no matter how many i play i still cant find one abble to destroy my love for the jag. Everyday i love it more.
It has some quirks. I dont recommend it to everybody since it has its own personality, but fits well with the things i play. dont wish any other guitar. Well, maybe a hollowbody, beacause of the uniqueness of the sound comparing with solid bodys. But i could live only with my jag for the rest of my life and be quite happy, though im no professional musician, i dont even have a band (or want one), i just play at home for my own amusement.

Long live the Jag

I just took delivery on my thin skin LPB Jaguar and wanted to post on the thread that inspired me. I acually can't plug it in because I had to trade my amp to obtain the guitar I have a Fender Excelsior in the works though. I am liking it unplugged. The action on the trem bar is nice with the shorter scale. Can't wait to hear this thing amplified.

That's gorgeous! From what I understand the Excelsior has a kind of boxy, Silvertone kind of sound. I wonder how that will mesh with the Jag.

Thanks. What do you think as far as the Excelsior paired with a Jaguar? I'm not sold on it, but it seems like a nice tube amp for $300 and that's about all I can afford now that I emptied my funds on this guitar.

I don't really know, I've never tried mine on an amp like that. I tend to prefer kind of blackface sounds, but it could be really cool.

There's nothing keeping from trying it out in the store I guess.

Just as I put work into my Jazzmaster and started to feel better about it being more modern. I just had to look into the Jag. Damn GAS. Damn this thread!
I'll probably join this party soon.
