That has to be the worst written review of a guitar ever.

Marr rarely played a solo, at least in the rip-snortin’, fire-breathing, Jeff Beckian sense. What Marr contributed instead, is a virtual holy text on how to craft a hook and support a song. While there may not be a lot of fleet-fingered fireworks in his oeuvre, licks don’t come much more delicious and clever than the intro to “This Charming Man.” And the menacing, chugging, tremolo-pulsing, Bo Diddley-on-nitrous riff that anchors “How Soon in Now” is heavy enough to make Tony Iommi green with envy.

I've tried, and I can't fit any more cliches into that paragraph.

also:

Pros:
super-wide range of warm tones. stable tuning. Great vibrato system.

Cons:
cramped neck for bigger hands. short scale and lower output pickups mean less sustain.

So Pros: Its a Jaguar. Cons: Its a Jaguar. Helpful.

Oh good I'll have my Premier guitar issue when it gets here! I see they gave it 4.5 on all points - very consistent and strong. But no 5's? I shall be canceling my subscription.

Willcuttguitars has a pic of the Metallic KO, not sure if its too different than any others but another spotting in the wild.

I played one of the BMM anniversary jags today, and it just made me want to play a Johnny Marr.

After an extravagant trip to Denmark st I did it

First impressions - Sounds pretty amazing and it's also the most comfortable guitar I've ever played.

Bad things - I've got a feeling that it's not earthed properly, you know that faint static buzzing until you touch the strings or metal well I'm getting that, pretty faint though, I'll investigate further. I also wish the knob on the pickup selector wasn't silver a bit too much bling.

I think that's due to Jaguars grounding via the player rather than the jack or something. Unless it's really loud, then it probably is a grounding problem

I also wish the knob on the pickup selector wasn't silver a bit too much bling.

Agreed! Only thing visually that i dislike about them.

Congratulations though!

Ah yes, grounding whoops. Bit annoying when you spend so much on a new guitar but sure it'll be an easy fix. Ok, where should I be looking? does the grounding wire on a jag attach to the bridge? I'll search the forum and see what I can find.

SInce the Metallic KO version is supposed to look like a faded CAR, I wonder why they didn't go with a mint guard?

Hopefully some KOs will be landing in the hands of some OSGers soon. I would love to see some more pics!

The 'how soon is now' riff might be the best post hendrix riff i've ever heard.

Pros:
super-wide range of warm tones. stable tuning. Great vibrato system.

Cons:
cramped neck for bigger hands. short scale and lower output pickups mean less sustain.

So Pros: Its a Jaguar. Cons: Its a Jaguar. Helpful.[/quote]

hahahhahaa....

I just played one of these and it was really good! The neck felt great and it was easily the best playing jaguar I've ever played. I still feel a bit cramped by the scale, but it was much nicer than my CIJ.

When I checked this month Mine was supposed to ship: 4/4 then 4/6 then 4/9 then 4/14 then 4/19 and right now 4/20.... So I am pretty sure that MF will never actually get one...

They don't have any of the whites either. So, I imagine Fender is behind on filling orders all around due to high demand............

I would have to think that the hegemony of gc/mf/music123 would be able to get advantageous supply from fender.

Just a little GAS frustration... It reminds me of the sq jmjm. I am sure I will get it soonish.

Generally I would be surprised if Fmic didn't anticipate initial demand for this model. 3 years (?) of development and rumors plus all the pre-release hype, magazine coverage, and a namm release. I am not an expert on guitar production though.
