Dude, I liked your video. But the guitar is not the only reason I liked it. It was your charisma. Keep it this way, mate. The way you interact with us through your videos is very funny, cool and really interesting. You rock, literally.
Dave Simpson don't mention it, mate. Hey, do you know if I can put the same modifications from Kurt Cobain's sig guitar in a Squier VM Jaguar? I'm planning to buy one because Fender guitars are VERY expensive here in Brazil. I like to listen to Nevermind's and In Utero's original tunings and try to reproduce in my DiGiorgio Acoustic Guitar. PS: I'm very aware about the Jaguar's bad bridge thanks to your and fellow guitarists' information.
David Silva i agree, hes cool. I just subscribed. Hes a guitar player but he kind of has that ginger baker circa 1968 look.....hey, did i hear some Heep in there too. Im getting one of these Jags very soon
Great demo! You wrenched a ton of tones from that vicious Jag! From Alternative filth to the clean shimmers and trem bar twangs-They are under-rated tone tools that inspire a different mind space and instant ideas, cliche-busting, etc. Enjoy!
A lot of guitars claim to get multi-tones and many do- this Jaguar gets so diverse with its sound- it starts with 2 pickups that really do sound completely different from the get go the bridge pu sounds gainy and strong and the neck pu is very jangly and sparkles i guess and thats without any effects. Really cool axe.
Thanks, This is the only video that I have seen that properly demonstrates the hi-pass filter. As ever, your enthusiasm is contagious, keep rocking Dave.
Without a doubt one of the best demos on this guitar I have ever seen. If not the best. Humour, skill and great ability and diversity of playing to show off what this guitar can do. Excellent!! You are certainly right about the bridge though. But this is an easy fix with the Graphtec saddle barrel saddles that pop right in instead of changing the whole bridge out to the typical Mustang bridge mod.
I just bought one of these today. Same color and also 2012. Man, I am really excited now, after watching this! These guitars seem to be fetching higher prices lately on the used market. Perhaps due to the Rosewood fretboard and also Squier is now mostly making the Classic Vibe series Jags. Anyway, thanks for the awesome video! You’re a great player!
Dave, just rewatching this video for the first time in ages. These short and sweet videos were one of the main reasons I and probably many people came across your channel, just look at the views it has. These type of videos with the sound and video quality you have now would be a killer combo, maybe something to consider. Anyway keep it up mate!
Doesn't matter what guitar/amp combo you choose, I notice that you gravitate to that really warm and very clean tone when you jam or noodle around in these vids. Totally rad.
I have this guitar in surf green as well. The original bridge works fine, you just can't use light guage strings with it. I put on 11's and no rattles or slippage whatsoever.
This is a solid ass comment, a lot of the issue with Jag's/Jazzmasters is they were designed for 11's with a wound third string like the old days, with lighter strings all kinds of weird shit happens with the bridge and the tremolo. honestly the 11's feel pretty soft on there too so Just give that a go. 12's should be fine too for the super old 1yr ago comment
Now I'm definitely getting one. I just couldn't decide on the white or the sunburst finish. Now I kinda like the surf green too lol. I think it would look rad with a tortoise pickguard.
Haabemaaster I was just in the same boat the other day. Ordered one in Olympic white and then rang up to change to sunburst but would love to get surf green with a tortoise pick guard!
I had a Fender Jaguar back in the 90s and absolutely loved it, I stupidly sold it to upgrade my gigging bass. I think I'll be putting one of these on my shopping list. it sounds awesome !
Love the guitar and the presentation, but the Orange is a bit dark for me. I get a phase altering feel from them. I would have enjoyed a switch to the Fender amp as well. Currently in the running for next guitar.
I have the olympic white and its and awesome guitar for the money, the tones are epic. Yes it does have its issues but still worth every dollar/ pound.
Loving that Hendrix-y stuff in the middle there... Great review! Sweet sounding guitar! Been drooling over the Classic Vibe Jags lately. I can't figure out if I like these better yet... The newer ones seem a little darker sounding or something. You have a terrific set up there. Might be getting more out of your instrument than some of the reviews I'm seeing.
I just got one used for $199 because a couple chips in paint a slight guitar tech scratch near nut ( very slight ) and it is perfect as I want to paint it "Jaguars " "green metallic" being a painter by trade it should come out nice , add the mustang bridge and Seymour's 1/4 pounders .The used cost gives me some room and I'm sure my old boss will mix me a pint a paint and sell me all materials I need and booth access . . Thanks for the review, it's nice seeing someone else was as excited about this guitar too . JB
I read that the original jaguar bridges were designed for flatwound 11 gauge strings. And hence the treble enhancing circuit was introduced to add "sparkle" to the darker sound of these heavy flatwound strings. So, it appears this was all intentional as higher string tension and smoothness of the said strings secures original bridge in its position. Has anyone tried to apply these changes and see any improvement?
Sometimes it is required to do so. My stepdad once owned a Gibson Flying V (he used to be in a band during the late 80's.) and he had to sell that around 12 years ago. It sucks.
My son just bought one for his 16th birthday. He loves the guitar, but we noticed right away that the stock saddles suck. (Strings popping out of place and the set screws backing out while playing) We have ordered a Mastery bridge and will drop it in when it gets here in a few weeks.
Couple questions: What're the set-up specs on your jaguar? Bridge/neck pup height? String action height @ what fret? Also any idea where I can get a replacement tremolo arm? Please and thanks Dave
+Jack Carey I was just messing around so I don't know if its a song or not. Its in the style of John Frusciante and Jimi Hendrix. Thank you for watching. :)
Hi Dave, just checked out this vid as I'm buying one soon. What is the awesome riff you play 2:35 into the vid? Is it your song? Who's it by? I need this song in my life! If it's yours, please put a tutorial vid up and show me how to play it. Cheers!
Hi there. The song is something i just came up with on the spot. Its something in the style of John Frusciante and Jimi Hendrix. I shall indeed work on a video for you and get it up as soon as i can. Have fun with your Jag when you get it. There awesome and i couldn;t be with out mine. :)
He predicted it, the flagship squier jag is stock with mustang bridge now. I have this guitar in the video and it’s great. Got it as a gift. This guitar speaks! And yes it plays best with fat strings.
Dave, you are a prophet! :) Fender listened to you, now all the new Squier Classic Vibe Jaguars come with a Mustang-style bridge! :) I'm saving up to buy one of these, since I really love Jaguars (they remind me of the guy on your t-shirt) :D Very good video as always, greetings from Italy!
Dave have you had the chance to check out the 2019 Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar? From what I can tell it's almost identical to the Squire Vintage Modified Jaguar. The noticeable differences being the new CV Jag comes with a 9.5 inch radius mustang bridge, Indian laurel fretboard w/block inlays, Fender Designed Alnico Single-Coil pickups…
Hi Dave, always love watching your videos bud. Have you ever thought about making some lesson videos. I love the lick or whatever you were doing at the beginning of the this video. I wish I can play that.
+kurtcobainsk8dudu I used the dirty channel of the CR120 for distortion. I would recommend you go for one of these without a doubt. They really are just as good as the Fender equivalent.
+kurtcobainsk8dudu I just picked up this same Jaguar this week. I wanted the Johnny Marr model, but I can't justify the $1700+ US price tag for my skill level!
That's exactly what I needed to confirm purchase. Great enthusiasm. I was still a little split between a jazzmaster and a jag but leaning towards the jag. Subed
It seems like there are 2 different surf green squier vintagemodified jaguars. One is a bit more washed out and the other leans more to seafoam green... and there's noway to tell the difference when ordering from internet. I love the slightly greener one, does anyone have a link where I can buy these? I live in the netherlands
There is a Sonic Blue Jazzmaster, and this Surf Green Jaguar. They are similar on the body shape, but the Jaguar has a 24 inch scale, versus the 25 1/2 standard Fender scale for the Jazzmaster. Some different options of electronics and different pickups, both singlecoils but Jazzmasters have a more P-90-ish sound versus the more Strat-ish sound of the Jaguar.
Hey man! What do you think about the playability of this beauty on a concert? I am asking this regarding to the strange pickup switch - and other - buttons. John Frusciante used this guitar a lot back in the days but I think mostly in studio, he rather used his strats on stage.
Can someone please tell me whether or not Squier have made a left handed version of this, cos I can't frickin find one anywhere and I REALLY REALLY want this as my first ever guitar!!!???
awesome as always, Dave! I have one quoestion: is it really necessary to use .11 gauge strings on jaguar. On my strat I play .9 gauge strings, and I am thinking about bying this model and replacing it with mustang bridge, but I am worried about the string gauge, because I could get used to playing .10s but not .11 gauge set.
I am new to guitars .. i want a squier jaguar. But it seems they need a lot of work when you take them home.. and i dont know nothingabout setting up a guitar .. The costs in the store for setup are pretty high ..
+Cheyenne Coombs Thank you so very much. I'm happy to hear you like what I do. :) The guitar next to me is a customised strat with transparent amber finish on the body and neck. You can see it on the Orange TH30 video on my channel . Thank you very much again. :)
Can you play hard on this one without the strings jumping out of the bridge? I heard that happens a lot and I like to play really hard sometimes so that's one thing keeping me from getting one and it's sad.
I can't stick the tremolo bar in the bridge of this exact same model, seems like the bar has a wider diameter than the hole on the bridge, anyone has any idea to help me? Please?
+ben palmer Ahhhh. Thats a secret. Actually its not. Its a custom home built strat I've had for ages. It has a lacquered neck and headstock with huge gold fender logo. :)
I recently got one (caveat, the upgrades have been made: new bridge and Pure Vintage 65 pickups) and I just can't believe how much I already love this guitar. I wanted one so badly for my son / me to gig with and I like it nearly as much as my 60th Anniversary JM. I'm not sure I'm going to be able to take it out of the studio. It's not creepy. I understand.
Dave Simpson u are totally right, i bought your same guitar in 3sunburst and it s awesome, finally i found a neck that fits perfectly to me! Im already getting a second one with HH
Said it once and will say it again : for the money, you will NOT beat what Squier did with this series! I have both the jazzmaster and jaguar. Mustang bridges a must? Agreed! Great demo!
Always wanted a Jag. Kurt was my gateway into playing guitar. Might have a look at one of these when I've got enough guitar funds knocking about (and when I've managed to persuade the missus to allow me to get yet another guitar lol)
Hi dave great vid .on another subject i have a tokai strat from the 80s could you recommend a make of bridge to replace with (on a budget ) your playing is awersome jedi master!
Dude, I liked your video. But the guitar is not the only reason I liked it. It was your charisma. Keep it this way, mate.
The way you interact with us through your videos is very funny, cool and really interesting. You rock, literally.

+1 :)
i tried one of these recently and was blown away. it genuinely haunts my dreams.
Yeah dude, i tried one in guitar center for no reason at all and i couldn't put it down for like a half hour. Seriously amazing guitar.
Great demo! You wrenched a ton of tones from that vicious Jag! From Alternative filth to the clean shimmers and trem bar twangs-They are under-rated tone tools that inspire a different mind space and instant ideas, cliche-busting, etc. Enjoy!
+FingersOnAFender Thank you for watching. :)
This is the best ad for a Jaguar ever!
My boy would look sick in a bucket hat
OMG i thought he was buckethead without a les paul
You mean KFC bucket on his head?
A lot of guitars claim to get multi-tones and many do- this Jaguar gets so diverse with its sound- it starts with 2 pickups that really do sound completely different from the get go the bridge pu sounds gainy and strong and the neck pu is very jangly and sparkles i guess and thats without any effects. Really cool axe.
Thanks, This is the only video that I have seen that properly demonstrates the hi-pass filter. As ever, your enthusiasm is contagious, keep rocking Dave.
Thank you very much. : )
i bought one from my mate for sixty quid with no bridge, 25 for mustang bridge and boom, got an amazing guitar

Good review,it shows these guitars are no one trick pony
2:34 RHCP VIBE,love it
Thank you very much. :)
i think so
@@thedavesimpson do you ever make comparison between vintage modified and classic vibe before, mate?
Gave me Incubus vibes
Now I'm definitely getting one. I just couldn't decide on the white or the sunburst finish. Now I kinda like the surf green too lol. I think it would look rad with a tortoise pickguard.

Thank you for watching and they are great guitars. Highly recommend them. :)
I own one of these in Olympic white and I use it on drop B tuning to cover some of The Kills songs. What do you think of that?
My son just got one of these and I couldn't figure it out. Thanks for showing me that this thing is incredible.
Hey Dave, I bought this guitar and started playing again because of this video. You are awesome, keep doing what you do. Cheers, Rory
Thank you very much indeed. : )
Everyone's missing the Breed there. Great vid!
Love the guitar and the presentation, but the Orange is a bit dark for me. I get a phase altering feel from them. I would have enjoyed a switch to the Fender amp as well. Currently in the running for next guitar.
I need one of these in my life was so surprised how dark the single coil pickups sound was that Fenders idea when they first designed the Jaguar ?
I have the olympic white and its and awesome guitar for the money, the tones are epic. Yes it does have its issues but still worth every dollar/ pound.
Andrew Stuart which issues exactly? i'm thinking bout buying one
henri crousteau just a quick bridge change and medium gauge strings (very cheap fix). And it's good to go

That would make sense. My brother used to use 12s on his jag and that kept everything locked down.
What's the song @2:30 ?? Or are you just jamming?
+Eemeli Siekkinen I'm just messing about. :)
I had a white one but had to sell it. But this is my fav colour. Really need to get myself one!
why selling it?
Sometimes it is required to do so. My stepdad once owned a Gibson Flying V (he used to be in a band during the late 80's.) and he had to sell that around 12 years ago. It sucks.
Great playing Dave! Do you recall what pedal(s) you were using for the overdrive at 6:45? Thanks a bunch!
I don't remember. Sorry.
@@thedavesimpson no problem
Jeez Dave your playing getting so good!
Thank you so so very much. :)
Very nice demo my friend ! you are getting some crazy tones out of her
Thank you very much. : )

Edit: Sorry for my english.
What was the song you played at 2:35 ? Wouldn't mind learning that
+Jack Carey I was just messing around so I don't know if its a song or not. Its in the style of John Frusciante and Jimi Hendrix. Thank you for watching. :)
So glad you played some Nirvana - I love the Cobain Jaguar but unfortunately can't afford it. It sounded great man, thank you.
Thank you very much and i can't afford it either. :( Really want one. Thanks so much again. :)
Nice! Added to the wish list.
Great tone on this video. Especially on the chili peppers kinda stuff

Dave which is the bridge that you used to replace the original? please
In this video i had a mustang bridge but i have gone back to the original now. :)
any modification to improve the original? because you will it? I bought a Fender also Tks

You're my hero again and again sir
:) Thank you very very much indeed. :)
That's exactly what I needed to confirm purchase. Great enthusiasm. I was still a little split between a jazzmaster and a jag but leaning towards the jag. Subed
Thank you very much. : )
Question about the mustang bridge... they're made for a vintage 7.25 radius, have you had any issues with the radius mismatch on this guitar?
Indeed i have. the E strings sit very low. I had to boost up the saddles with paper to get them to sit right.
Hola que calibre de encordado tiene?
Hi Dave, have a new video of this axe with the mods you made?
Not yet no. I'll do one when i get chance. :)

Have you allready found where to buy?

Klopt
There is a Sonic Blue Jazzmaster, and this Surf Green Jaguar. They are similar on the body shape, but the Jaguar has a 24 inch scale, versus the 25 1/2 standard Fender scale for the Jazzmaster. Some different options of electronics and different pickups, both singlecoils but Jazzmasters have a more P-90-ish sound versus the more Strat-ish sound of the Jaguar.
i agree with you! but i will never be sure if it's just because of photo or it is actually different.please tell me if you found anything about it. c:
Ever had any issues with microphonic in the bridge position Dave?
I haven't no. They sound awesome. :)
+Dave Simpson ah right, mine squeals uncontrollably when using the bridge pup- any ideas for solutions?
You play really well man. Respect!
Thank you. : )
Hey man! What do you think about the playability of this beauty on a concert? I am asking this regarding to the strange pickup switch - and other - buttons. John Frusciante used this guitar a lot back in the days but I think mostly in studio, he rather used his strats on stage.
It a great guitar live. You have to get used to it but its great to use in a live situation. : )
@@thedavesimpson thx man!
Can someone please tell me whether or not Squier have made a left handed version of this, cos I can't frickin find one anywhere and I REALLY REALLY want this as my first ever guitar!!!???
I'm not sure they do a lefty version sadly. :(
that sucks man!! Any suggestions/alternatives?
Hi ..What guitar would you recommend to a beginner for under 300 USD. It has to have the typical Fender sound???
I would go for something like a Squier bullet strat / tele or a Vintage brand or Revelation. Great guitars and very cheap. : )
thank you.
awesome as always, Dave! I have one quoestion: is it really necessary to use .11 gauge strings on jaguar. On my strat I play .9 gauge strings, and I am thinking about bying this model and replacing it with mustang bridge, but I am worried about the string gauge, because I could get used to playing .10s but not .11 gauge set.
Its not necessary to only use 11's no. I have a video on my channel on how to sort the Jag problems out. I use 10s on mine with no issues. :)
Dave Simpson thank you, Dave. I will check out that video :)
Got a second hand candy apple red one recently and totally love it!
I am new to guitars .. i want a squier jaguar. But it seems they need a lot of work when you take them home.. and i dont know nothingabout setting up a guitar .. The costs in the store for setup are pretty high ..

Can you play hard on this one without the strings jumping out of the bridge? I heard that happens a lot and I like to play really hard sometimes so that's one thing keeping me from getting one and it's sad.
I can't stick the tremolo bar in the bridge of this exact same model, seems like the bar has a wider diameter than the hole on the bridge, anyone has any idea to help me? Please?
Put a little bit of hair round it and you’ll get a hole in one!

Thank you very much. : )

Can u Reach a bluesy tone pn that guitar? Plz lemme know
You can indeed. : )
Dave Simpson u are totally right, i bought your same guitar in 3sunburst and it s awesome, finally i found a neck that fits perfectly to me!
Im already getting a second one with HH
What song do you play at 7:00?
Richie Ukoha He's playing Dazed and Confused by Led Zeppelin.
Said it once and will say it again : for the money, you will NOT beat what Squier did with this series! I have both the jazzmaster and jaguar. Mustang bridges a must? Agreed! Great demo!
Thank you very much. :)
the strings easily slip off from the bridge?
They can but mine don't anymore. : )
While the squire vintage modified mustang sound similar to this guitar?
Not really. the Jag has a sound all of its own. :)
how does this guitar feel in time? any need of changes or mods besides a good setup?
No mods. Still love it.
Always wanted a Jag. Kurt was my gateway into playing guitar. Might have a look at one of these when I've got enough guitar funds knocking about (and when I've managed to persuade the missus to allow me to get yet another guitar lol)
Thank you for watching and i hope you get one. They are awesome. :)
Awesome review bro. Many thanks!
Thank you very much. : )
Congrats on the new axe,sounds great very impressive
+Johnathan Jordan Thank you . :)
wow cool beans! Nice demo. Did you have to drill new holes for the bridge? Thanks
+Penny Packer Thanks very much for watching. I didn't have to put any new holes in the guitar no. The Mustang Bridge fits without any modification. :)
Dave do you still have/play this guitar? Was thinking about getting one and wanted to get you opinion after owning this for a couple years
I do indeed still have this guitar and its still one of my favourites. Love it to bits. : )
Hi dave great vid .on another subject i have a tokai strat from the 80s could you recommend a make of bridge to replace with (on a budget ) your playing is awersome jedi master!
Thank you very much indeed and i can highly recommend the Wilkinson vintage tremolo. :)
Dave Simpson i was looking at the trev w stuff wasnt sure if they would fit so thanks dave .keep sweating ice cubes!!!!
are you playing with wound strings or flats?
Wound. I don't like flats. : )
was looking for a good Jaguar video...found one!!!!!!
Have you changed the pickups?
I haven't no. Its still all stock here. I recently have had to change the volume pot but thats it. :)
what does it mean for it to be "short scale"? It looks like a regular guitar to me.-
The neck/fretboard is shorter than a strat or tele. :)
@@thedavesimpson but the guitar itself is bigger than a telecaster right???
