MGR/Toby « Fender Jagmaster »
Published on 04/04/02 at 14:00I bought this at Mars Music Center in West palm Beach for about $240.
There is a lot to like about this guitar, keeping in mind that it is designed as a lower-end begginner guitar. The jaguar shaped body and sparkle silver finish were the first things i liked. I also like that ut was made of alder. I also liked the dual humbuckers that supply plenty tone and playing high notes on the neck pickup coupled with some distortion prvoides a really cool sound.
I was not particularly impressed with the size of the neck (a little too large for a beginner guitar)< and the action was pretty high (i lowered it to a suitable level without any fret buzz< so that really wasnt a problem)
From my experiences so far, it is constructed pretty well. Ive hit the headstock numerous times without it showing, ive dropped in on a rug over tile, brought it on road trips with blankets, backpacks on top of it, and only have one small nick that cant be seen when playing.
It is a nice beginner guitar that is a step away from the "Your'e a beginner? Get a Squire strat" stereotype. I have played on a squire strat and this has better tonal coverage.
