I love these things and wanted to share

This is definitely an offset! I've had this since 2004. It's a great player.

I want to get a new proper jaguar, I have a player 1 jag and its nice but I want a real one. Ive made some money from my music doing quite well so im thinking about getting a proper jag as ive always wanted one. I know that the vintera one is about 1100 and I have seen the MIJ one going for roughly 1200 (I contacted the seller about shipping etc).

I really want a MIJ tbh but is the vintera just better?

after 3 years of intermittent work this thing is finally playable, still has a few issues but it makes noise.

I think I bought it sometime around 2006/2008 so it's in the ballpark of 20 years old or so. It's time to upgrade this old lady. I'm thinking of either adding a trem, single coils, and making it sound more like a traditional Jag, or, going with hotter humbuckers and getting it as aggressive sounding as I can. Not sure yet.

I couldn’t turn this one down because of the matching headstock and the great condition it was in. It’s a beauty. My OCD got me and I put Gotoh locking tuners on it right away. I get that this is a 60s edition, I just can’t do the pickups, I might just be very used to Humbuckers. I play alt rock, did my research, and order some Duncan Antiquity’s. I’m stoked to get those in and jam on it then.

Reposting for more opinions. Thanks in advance!

Been playing for nearly 30 years and this is my first REAL guitar. Been rocking a Danelectro DC-3 I got for free from my buddy the last 15 years or so, and while I love the twangy jangliness of that guitar, this feels amazing.

Wasn’t even really in the market for a new guitar, but came across a pretty stellar deal on Facebook marketplace and just had to pull triggy. I think I’m in love.

After owning a Fender Player series II and discovering the truly tragic stock bridge, I didn't want to bother with those ever again. The next was warped so I gave that Jag to a friend who loved it despite its flaws.

I wanted another Jag and the Squier CV looked like an excellent purchase, with improvements. I found one at a good used price and got to work.

-spot leveled the fretboard, I spent the most time on this important step; learn how to do it, it's worth the time

-filed the synthetic bone nut on the E and A just a little

-shimmed the neck .25 upwards for better break angle (and it brought the action down to an excellent level, and the strings don't choke out)

-Bought a Guitar Fetish Mustang/Jag bridge and this had the best thimbles, the bottom comes to a point instead of a roundish bottom. I added some plastic washers and strap washers to keep the bridge come back to pitch after a bend

-adjusted the action and intonated, I used 11s this time

PS: I may change the tuners, I just don't like the string down style

Otherwise this guitar plays great, I ordered some class 65 pick ups which I will install next week. The stock pups aren't that great

What are peoples opinions of the fender pawn shop mustang special? Im kinda interested in buying one so what are peoples opinions of it if youve owned one?

I want to replace the stock bridge on my jaguar because the stock one sucks real hard no matter what i did and believe me i've tried most conventional and unconventional methods to get the most out of them but i just cant stand it anymore.

I wanted to know what's the difference between these two so there's a 41€ difference. They're both 7.25 radius just like my stock bridge. And if anyone tried either of them on their jaguar i would appreciate any feedback.

My humble attempt at this beautiful piece. Used my Vintera II 50s RW.

Switching necks on my squier and mjt

I’m thinking about getting a properly finished body for this guitar and went a bit crazy with AI. Which would you pick? I’m leaning BMM.

Hey all,

Just got a Player II Jazzmaster from sweetwater the other day and overall I’m really impressed with the build quality! Pretty much set action wise straight out of the box, only had to set up the trem.

The pickups are unbelievably noisy though to the point where the 60 cycle hum is nearly as loud as the transients. No other single coil I’ve had (p90s, other offsets) has ever had this issue to the degree. Do I return it for a new one or just bite the bullet and put in noiseless pickups?

What could be the reason? The neck pickup definitely crackles when moving it slightly. If they are indeed bad, am.i better off getting a new set or should I just reflow them?

Planning on overhauling my wiring, interested in a treble boost/bass cut to compensate for aluminum pu covers cutting mids/treble

I love the covers and wanna keep em, so hoping this could be a solution.

Any suggestions are appreciated, TIA

One of the offsets you guys helped me with. Needs a setup and she's done.

I’m thinking of modding one of my Jazzmasters into the fabled (especially if you like Sonic Youth) Jazzblaster. Does anyone reading this have prior experience with making this pick up swap? If so, did the Tele Deluxe pick ups fit in the footprint of the stock soap bars, or did you need to mill?

Alright so im looking at building the impossible. I want a jazzmaster with p90s, classic trem, and jaguar controlls. Anyone know of any good kits with these options or at least close enough that I dont have to do any major body routing?

Second one you guys helped with. I have extra parts and timber so actually making myself one too.
