News
The Classic Player Jaguar Special guitar updates Fender's iconic Jaguar model with some thoroughly modern improvements. These include hotter pickups, a redesigned Adjusto-Matic bridge with floating tremolo tailpiece, a 9.5 fingerboard radius and an improved neck pocket with increased back-angle for improved stability and sustain.

The tremolo plate has been moved closer to the bridge to increase break angle and sustain. A screw in tremolo arm increases stability and control when executing divebombs.

"Top bang for your hard earned dollar, it's another piece of perfection ! Thanks Fender !"
Feature:
Made in Mexico and I was really pleased with it's workmanship, appearance and hardware fit. Frets and neck are perfect, rosewood board wasn't finished the best, candy apple red finish is perfect. I locked out the trem and use it as a hardtail. All hardware seems top grade, everything is pretty decent for the price considering the more expensive USA model. I also ordered a Fender top of the line Jag case for it and was sorely disappointed in it's quality. Very, very cheap case for the money.

Quality:
Very well made, I was really pleased as I ordered mine sight unseen back in September and took delivery in late December. This is 2nd batch of Jags made in Mexico. I have a MIJ Fender Jag H/H Black/Chrome and it is a piece of perfection. This Jag H/H being such a great guitar prompted me to order this CAR Jag. Yes, I was worried but all turned out OK.

Value:
It is well worth the money I paid for it ! I owned a USA Jag back in the 60's and it had many problems like string and saddle rattle, strings jumped off bridge, trem always out of tune, hard to intone to name a few.

Desirability:
Both this MIM Jag and my MIJ Jag are tops in appeal, both are perfect so hats off to Fender. It seems like the foreign made guitars can stand on their own -vs- the USA models.

Sound:
Neither tele or strat sounds but it's own unique sound and that's the way Leo planned these Jaguars. Compatible with pretty much any clean type music in my opinion, my music is clean older country, rock-a-billy, etc. I use my Flextone III 212 amp and it compliments my Jags, they both shine. Guitar has a few sounds, some may be useful to other players. My sound is both bottom single coils with lean sound switched on. Definitely Fender and it'll cut thru the mixes.

Ease of Use:
This Jag either has your sound or it doesn't, it isn't very versatile, no learning curve. No manual comes with it either. It doesn't take long to find your sound. Short 24 inch neck scale is extremely comfy to play and wear.

Support:
Safest bet is to buy thru a honest dealer and let the dealer replace any bad parts, etc., from Fender. Never had any problems doing this for many years.

Overall:
I plan on playing my two Jags for many years, both has the sounds and looks that I like. I especially like the MIM medium jumbo frets over the narrow vintage frets on USA Jag models. It stays in tune, I really couldn't ask for a better guitar. The USA Jag case can use better padding and be of better quality, so be warned. It's hard to find a good hardshell case to fit a 14 1/2" wide Jag lower bout.

"FENDER JAGUAR"
Feature:
A LOT of switches and crap. But its pretty great.

Quality:
The quality is awesome. Nothing shaking around or anything loose.

Value:
Its okay. The thing is, its pretty expensive for a mexican. It should be american for 800, but whatever. Im sometimes ambarrased to show greater guitar players cuz its mexican, but there are REALLY great mexicans out there. Every guitar is different

Desirability:
One of the main reasons i got the jaguar, (sunburst) was cuz it looks FRIGGIN AWESOME. Everybody uses a strat or les paul, (theyre nice too) but the jaguar is just soooo sexy. the shape, and the color. Its a work of art. Good job leo

Sound:
It has some pretty great variety once you figure out the controlls. I haven't owned many guitars, but ive played great vintage ones. This one sounds pretty good. itll do the job.

Ease of Use:
Still havent figured it all out, and i got it about a week ago. But its somewhat easy to use.

Support:
Zzounds rocks my socks.

Overall:
Great guitar itself. Pretty well for staying in tune which i was concerned about. I owned a Jag-Stang before this, and that thing SUCKED. But this stays in better tune. the only thing, is that its kinda heavy. thats all though. Just grow some muscle
