Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (18 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Best guitar in my collection."
Sound: I love this guitar. It has a full sound like a Les Paul but plays like a Fender. What more could you want? I was a little worried about the scale, as I have big hands, but the smaller size is hardly even noticeable. I know that Mexican Fenders can be kind of hit or miss, but this one's definitely a winner. I play it through a Fender Deluxe Reverb reissue, and the tone is amazing. I have been looking at Jags/Jazzmasters for a very long time, and the price was finally right. This sounds every bit as good as an instrument three times the price. Feature: In terms of features, this is a stripped down Jaguar, but I would actually consider that a plus, as it's nice to not have to mess with all the switches and dials. Ease of Use: It is extremely playable and sounds amazing. Quality: This guitar is just as solid as any American Fender that I've ever played, and the electronics are clean with a nice, full tone. Value: This guitar is definitely worth the price. It sounds just as good as a $1,500 Jazzmaster, no joke. Manufacturer Support: I have not had any issues with it, but one nice thing about Fenders is that it's never too hard to find parts if something needs to be fixed or upgraded. The Wow Factor: I have the silver finish, and this is one sexy guitar. Overall: I expect that this will be a guitar that I pass on to my children someday. In the meantime, this has become my number one instrument of choice. For what it's worth, I have been playing professionally for about eighteen years and have owned over a dozen guitars. This one is hands down my favorite.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Blacktop Jaguar"
Sound: For a Mexican Fender guitar, this Jaguar has a great sound. The neck and body are in great shape, good craftsmanship. The pickups are where this thing earns it's 8 for sound. They are OK, don't get me wrong, but I wouldn't record with them. Replace the pups and you couldn't have a better buy for the buck. Feature: I knew what I was getting with the stripped down Blacktop Jaguar. I wanted exactly what I got from the features of this guitar, but that's not much. I really like the no-nonsense setup on this guitar. It just doesn't have your usual Jaguar features, so I can't rate it too high. Ease of Use: Out of box, this thing played pretty well. I restrung it with some DRs and adjusted the intonation a bit on 2 strings, but that was it. I don't have small hands, but do like the scale length. I can really move around this neck faster than my Strat's. Quality: Like I said, for a Mexican Fender, this is a great quality buy. I think the bridge saddles could be better and the pickups (as I mentioned) were not "10"s out of the box. The nut and neck are as good as most American Fender necks I've seen. The body is great, everything feels solid and tight. I haven't opened it up to take a look at the wiring yet, but I will because I got a slight buzz when I'm not touching the strings (grounding problem). Value: For the price, you can't beat this guitar. I looked through the entire blacktop series and this one had the best reviews for a reason. The craftsmanship and the feel of this guitar is better than a lot of high end Strats that I've played. With a little love, and after getting your own sound from new pickups, this guitar will be your go-to whether you are adding it to your arsenal or getting your first Fender. Overall: Enough said, this is a beautiful guitar. Not even on the "for the price" level -- it's just worth buying.
