I picked up this guitar used at Ancient Music in a town just south of Chicago. I paid only $200. But I got what I paid for.

The guitar has a nice sound to it. It has one single coil pick up at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge. I replaced the single coil with a Seymour Duncan Vintage for Jaguar. It sounds great (it has a Jaguar sound to it). With the right pedal (I use a super overdrive), it also has one of the best “fat” sounds around. Although I replace the pickup, there stock pickup still sounds nice. The off set body is comfortable and well balanced. The think neck plays very well. The pickup selectors give you a nice range of sounds. It’s a good guitar for soloists or rhythm.

The guitar I bought was used…. For only $200. Naturally there was improvement that needed to be done. A screw receiver on my Jagstang was broke, so I just replaced the whole pickup (as I stated before). It’s WELL worn. But that’s all minor. The biggest problem with this guitar is keeping it in tune.

The guitar was constructed beautifully, but its previous owner abused it. The paint, and some of the wood, was cracked but it still held up great and sounded excellent. The Fiesta red paint looks especially nice. Iv had no problem with the neck either. The action is good. Even though this guitar took a lot of abuse, it’s holding up very nicely.

This guitar is great for anyone who can get one. The range of sounds are amazing, the playability is great. The construction is great. It’s a nice, well-balanced guitar. I recommend this guitar for anyone looking for a solid, well built, nice sounding instrument.
