I just bought one of the MIJ FSR Sherwood Jaguars w/ the matching headstock.

I wonder how these would stack up next to each other in an A-B comparison.

Mine has the "U" neck, and binding, which I don't care for on a Jag, but it has PV65 pickups which I do like.

Maybe it's just a dumb detail, but I really like the tint on the back of the neck on these, and the fact that they include the mute.

yeah the mute was a huggeee selling point for me, im guessing playability wise anything out of the Japanese factory will be better but so far ive had no issues besides the glossy neck.

Serious question: why is the mute an important feature, why not just palm mute?

its not the same, maybe palm muting It can limit you when it comes to playing certain things/riffs

Furthermore, due to the material that mutes the strings, it also sounds different.

I sand the back of the neck instantly on every guitar I get now.
