Today I learned that Ryan likes to wrap his entire fist around his wiggle stick and he doesnt pull out.
Oh come on dude I was eating my dinner! 😄
He likes to go down
LOL
LOL LOL LOL
Not to mention he prefers to go down.
RYAN THE OPENING JAM MADE ME FEEL LIKE I WAS BEING CHASED BY SPIES WEARING SUNGLASSES
A jag without all the chrome feels naked. But hey three cheers for the return of rosewood!
@@HenrySchecker I dislike all the chrome.
@@trailingupwards well you're in luck there's a plethora of choices
Yeah
I’m throwing away my Player Onez!
I think this is incredible. I hope tons of Nashville players will hear all this twang and adopt it.
I gotta love the old ones with rhythm and strangle. Jaguars coolness isnt about being sleek its about cruising in an old classic with chrome.
Absolutely! Neo Fender remains clueless when it comes to the coolest Guitar ever….
I am saving this video and then I am going to learn all that surf stuff you do. Love it!
I loved that introduction ! Fabulous😳👍👍👍 You make it sound very cool!
Inspector Pipeline!!! He doesn't Walk, he Runs!!!
Awesome review and awesome playing! Cheers!!
Ryan you're a beast! That intro song is one of the best I've ever heard! Sold me on the guitar from the first 2 bars and the jam just got better and better and better from there!
I can't be the only one who was so relieved when you got rid of that last little bit of plastic at 23:23 🙂
Had a seafoam green Classic Vibe Jag as my main guitar about a decade ago but sold it. I'd been itching for that Jag swag ever since, so I pulled the trigger and bought a butter white Vintera II with the maple fretboard and black block inlays and I've been gliding ever since. Appreciate the Jag representation, Ryan!
Great job! The riff at 1:35 was mind bending! Epic! All I could think is, my best life would include fender sending me guitars! I like your style! My hot rod deluxe drips a lot like that maybe I’ll have to learn that “song” today!
I had my Jag modified putting the two jag pickups joined together touching each other as two bridge pickups, they can be engaged separetly or toghether in series or in paralel. In series they produce a nice humbucker tone and it's a great addition to the palete. This second bridge pickup which is only an inch towards the neck has a great fatter sound, it could be considered a mid pickup but with the balls of a bridge pickup.
Killer intro, Ryan. Never been a fan of Player Series's non-traditional specs, but it sounds great.
Awesome video bro 🤘🏻
I could get behind it..... but just needs more chrome. They also missed a huge opportunity, the three way switch should have been a 4 way to add the pickup in series option which is great on Jags for a beefy tone.
Nice little playing at the top🎉
I think its cool - I was one of the people that really didn't like the Pau ferro (I bought loads of them running a shop for a time) so im very happy to see rosewood back - it seems to me on this intro run they have used quite dark rosewood too - hope that lasts!
Nice playing!
Nice guitar, great playing, excellent shirt!
I like it! I kinda did the same thing to my Squier Jag that this one offers. I put a 4 way tele switch in for an out of phase option, and so I don't shut it off when strumming, haha. Took out the rhythm circuit (left the plate in for looks). Put a P90 in the bridge too. Such a fun guitar model to mess around with and play. C'mon folks, get a Jag of your own!
Great intro jam!
Fantastic and I want an Aquatone blue one now to match my player II jazz bass
It's like a Jag, but without all the fun stuff that makes a Jag what it is.
100%! Post CBS Fender just doesn’t get it.
.... so what is missing? Pixie dust?
@@artamussumatra6286 ? The CBS buyout was in 1965, Fender has definitely made good guitars since 65
@@reijerlincoln Rhythm circuitry and the strangle switch
@@MayonnaiseOreo Don't forget the mute!
These musical intros make me want to watch Tarantino films immediately!
The opening jam made me feel!
This thing sounds fantastic. Maybe I don't know what I'm missing but I think a lot of people will dig this guitar that aren't looking for something exactly like an old one
Heard the song "Non ho l'eta" by Gigliola Cinquetti on the radio last night and thought of you. That is the drippiest reverb I have ever heard.
wow amazing playing
My 65 Jaguar is just fine. I wouldn't mind getting one of the Mustangs though.
As a lefty, I would've bought one of these the second they were announced
As well as one of the mustangs
And then I would've saved up to buy one of the mustang basses.
And I am not alone. I am part of quite a few Reddit threads where there are thousands and thousands of fresh posts all talking about this, no love for the lefties.
They don't even have a left-handed bass. At all.
What's the actual dimensions of the pickup routes? They look small for Gibson-style humbuckers but maybe Firebird/mini humbuckers or Filtertrons?
I've never been a fan of the recycled design from the excellent Jazzcaster, but I do love the bright, confrontational, percussive glass sound of Jagcaster pick ups. I'd like a Meteora with these pick ups.
If it was mine I’d do the telecaster 5 way switch mod, the extra 2 positions being both pickups being wired in parallel (or series if they’re wired parallel stock)and the other with some kind of capacitor to replicate the strangle circuit, or maybe both pickups out of phase, that way it still looks stock.
I love the Player Series I with the humbuckers, particularly the Jazzmaster
what do you use to connect the guitar to the computer? Is it just mic'ed up and you sync it in post?
I record with mics on amps into a zoom h8
@@60CycleHumcast oh I see. how do you then reduce crossover from you speaking? do you just fade between the two or does th mic on the amp only pick up the amp?
yeah i cut the mic while im playing. all of that happens in editing. I have mics on the amps and an overhead mic for my voice.
It's different but I like it! Recently got a 70s vibe in black and like that too!🎸🎸👍👍
I'd go with the tortoiseshell guard!
I’m interested in the Mustang. Love that the Player II series keeps the short scales in the lineup. Wish we got daphne blue instead of aquatone blue but 🤷🏼♀️
I love it but with jaguars with a trem it needs the top chrome hardware. It looks off without it. Glad rosewood is back though! Real class!
stay tuned! im going to mod it ;-)
The infamous surf riff
They also moved the vibrato closer to the bridge like the classic player series😢
🤘@@60CycleHumcast
Pau Ferro done right is beautiful. Had some before CITIES and it was like ebony in feel. Fender just didn't spend the time on them and they were dry and rough on the Mexico stuff. So everyone remembers Pau Ferro as rough, but orange streaks and dry. Which isn't true. Plus the benefit was that it wasn't an endangered/overharvested species of tree.
Great demo, i love jag’s and bass VI es because of their “Twang” …
It’s like the Johnny Marr Jag, but missing the two switches up top. (Well you’d need to swap in a 4-way switch).
thoughts on the squier affinity jaguar with most of the same tech as this guitar?
If you give them a rhythm circuit and a strangle switch on a Player, why would they pay the extra for a Vintera?
I ended up trying string joyous part of the hoop jumpers Club and I will never go back I had always preferred the daddario's put the stringjoy strings allow me to set my Les Paul and Tele lower than I ever have and they just feel great.
I really like the blackguard with white body. Don’t think I’ve seen a Jag with that combo before. But honestly it looks like something is missing even if I wouldn’t use the rhythm circuit. I like the switch better this way for sure.
I haven’t paid much attention to Jags prior to this video, but man that thing has great tone. It sounds exceptionally good through your Princetons. Modding it cosmetically would be cool, but personally, I wouldn’t mess with that tone. If only it came in Shell Pink with a matching headstock and a Vintage Pearloid pickguard. Very nice!
Love your playing and taste in tunes Ryan!
What do you use to hydrate the fretboards on your guitars?
Thanks!
the hydrate bottle from this kit amzn.to/4f0l5oE
See, I was never a fan of the switching, and am not a trem user at all, but have gotten along really well with jaguar necks and bodies if not even utilized to their full potential. So, while I would prefer both a hardtail and a string through, making this basically just a Tele sans the trem, the jaguar is the most intriguing to me in the series in terms of having Alnico 5 and 2 single coils, but ultimately I’m not sure if it’s the most attractive buy in the series or if any of them are really necessary. Rolled fingerboard edge will certainly be appreciated but don’t justify the price at all.
Ryan did you file the string slots on the nut for it to take higher gauge strings or did they just hop in without a problem?
No problem
BAck in the day i had a white jag... ... might be time to get another one 😍
That's interesting that they routed it for humbuckers but didn't go ahead and route for the missing rhythm circuit. The first player series Jaguar had a small routed area up there for that single switch they had.
6:42 "I like to be able to wrap my whole fist around my wiggle stick"...me too, brother...me, too...
Seems like a good value. I would miss the rhythm section and the most complicated switching, but it’s what we have been asking for-a cheaper Fender.
Cheaper? It’s $829 for absolutely no reason.
The best, no nonsense Jaguar out there for the money..bridge, classic gear tuners, decent stock pickups ? Take my $800
Dear Ryan I was expected your review!.... this Jaguar sounds REALLY GREAT.... the only thing I would love to have included is a humbucker in the bridge...My duo sonic 2022 has one....and its one of the best humbuckers I have played.... this jaguar is missing big part part of the original electronic, but personally I consider two priorities, to have a great sound and great playabilty.... and this Jaguar looks like accomplished both....thanks and best regards from Bolivia...... one question...in the midle position do the pickups had Hum cancelling?
neck seems very similar to MiM Jag-Stangs. Is it as thin????
can you fit a humbucker in the routing? it looked big
If not some light chiseling would get you there.
I'm not sure how I feel about the relocated tailpiece, but other than that I like what I see. One of my favorite players has what I assume is a partscaster (partsguar?) with a similar setup and I like the idea of simplifying the circuitry and getting rid of a lot of extra wire that for me never gets used.
@60 Cycle Hum... Could you fit two Jaguar pickups (with claws) next to each other in those routes? Could be interesting if you wired them in humbucker style fashion or whatever. Similar to the original Dipinto Galaxie 4s?
Also... if you go mint guard but keep the single could Jag pickups, I'd probably change from the aged/parchment color they are to something else. Might look funky against the mint. As it is I kinda don't even like how they are yellow to the body's pure white.
I wanted to say “that’s what she said “ so many times. Nice guitar
I like it but if I were in the market for a Jag I think I'd go for a Vintera or a Squier VM for the more classic spec.
But even those are incomplete without the mute. They do sell it separately, but it really should come standard.
Nice!
what reverb were you using at 11:23 and onward?
I bet you could fit a gibson 3 way and a single vertical strangle in that little space. You would just need to cut a new pickguard for it
A Jaguar should have Jaguar pickups- good move! The humbucker in the old model made me go another way
6:58 "But I never pull out"...me either, brother...me either...
My Squier Jaguar which was $400 (about 10 years ago) seems 100% unquestioningly “Jaguar”.
A 4 way switch, and a brown shell guard.............yeah.
4 ways go on any Tele I get. The 4th position in series is really useful for gigs.
I feel like I’m the only person that likes Pau Ferro. Enjoyed the video.
been doin' some wacky wigglestickin'
I'd consider moving the 3-way switch to where the rhythm controls would be, but put it at an angle. 😊
Never owned a jag, but I think the standard switching appointments would put me off. I'd be more likely to go for a simple one like this. Maybe the strangle switch could be added on the upper bout as a nod to visual nostalgia, without compromising the playing simplicity that has obviously been a design goal here.
Oh hell yes, Lord of the 7-Seas in his glory!
That Pelham Blue SG is beautiful! Is that a Murphy Lab?
Groovy 😎
Cool white guitar
The infamous surf ridf
I like it...especially with that jhs hard drive. you sold me on that pedal... twice.
ive been digging it. Dont usually bond with high gain pedals
That tailpiece is identical to the first Player Jaguar one.
A lefty offset that's not 4-digits. That's all I ask Fender to do 😔
Where did you get that shirt, I need one!
I agree Ryan, you can’t put 9s on a 24” scale. Bendy like rubber bands. I have flat wounds on a couple of my Mustangs. They need the extra oomph!
damn what an intro!!
Any plans for the new affinity jaguar?
Not officially but I’m thinking about it.
Great way to transform into the new 'Dr Who'
I really like the jag without the chrome ontop
Review the JM 2 next!
Love the sound but I’m really disappointed that there is not a rhythm circuit or strangle switch. All I’ve wanted from fender is a reasonably priced vintage spec jag with a rosewood fretboard. If it was routed for the upper circuit, I could see picking one up to mod but I don’t want to have to cut a brand new guitar.
Your 巨大リス (giant squirrel) tee looks cool. btw, the Jaguar without preset tone circuit looks weird to me.
Surf Jorts! 🤘
I'd like this compared to the new $300 one coming out from squier
I would love to see this up against the classic vibe Jaguar.
I liked the HH jazzmaster version except the pickups. They just sounded blah. Not bad but not great. I would guess a super distortion bridge and a medium output neck pickup would make for a nice option.
My pickguard suggestion: gold MOTO. If you're gonna add some flash, go full ham.
I never pull out, too!!
A wiggle jingle! Yay
never understood cumbersome jaguar switching, this seems better imo.
Did the neck need a shim to get the right angle ?
@@swissanthony nope
