"Best guitar in my collection."
Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
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.
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.
Features
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.

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.
