MGR/RHFaktor « Fender Jag-Stang »
Published on 02/05/03 at 15:00I purchased it new for $400 (in Slovenia).
It was the shape and colour (fiesta red) that caught my eye first...
The factory settings and hardware were/are good. I like heavier guitars, so this one was just right for me.
But what i really love is the fast neck. I've never played a Fender with such a neck before (neither now). It's simply great.
The Dynamic Vibrato makes it go out of tune very easy, but i don't use it very much, so it isn't a big deal for me.
The other thing is the finish that is really thin and gets scratched very fast. But i think that a scrached guitar is a guitar with character.
It's a Jaguar - Mustang clone, designed by Kurt Cobain. Has a bridge Humbucker and a neck single coil. The humbucker gives a powerful, crunchy sound (i use a Solton 100 Watt amp.), the single coil makes a nice bassy sound (which i use for playing it accoustic).
I had no problems with the tuners or knobs in the last six years i owned the guitar.
You will love it or you will hate it - it's simple as that. Overall i think it's a great guitar for the price i paid. Suitable for the beginner and with some modifications (pickup change) for the advanced too.
At least it's worth trying it out.
