Fender American Pro Jaguar Setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 вер 2024
- This week I have had an especially rad Jag in for a setup from a customer. It's a Fender American Pro Jaguar, that has been refinished in an awesome firemist gold colour!
Naturally I couldn't resist doing some kind of video on it to show it off to the world, so I thought I'd take the opportunity to show how I approach setting up these kinds of offsets again!
Hopefully this video will be informative and perhaps useful if you are going to be setting up your your own jag, or if you are just looking for general setup information.
Here is a link to a really good article on Jags/Jazzy's in Premier Guitar by offset wizard Michael Adams which have some great diagrams that I couldn't hope to replicate well, that demonstrate how the vibrato should be setup:

Also as always I don't own all the music that I played in this video, all rights go to their respective owners.
Good job I just picked one of these up. I would have taken the neck off and removed the Fender 'shim' often a tiny piece of sandpaper, and replaced it with a 1 degree full pocket wood shim. Personal preference I would put a Dimarzio Super Distortion S in the bridge. You can buy them without the flange. Thanks again!
Thanks, short and clear! I'll try to replicate this on my guitar.
Thanks, this will definitely help with some of the setup issues on my am pro jag. good thorough work!
No problem, glad it will be useful! Happy playing!
Bonza mate ✌
Hey mate, very interesting video. I"ve had a Johnny Marr Jag for a few years now and I love it to bits. One thing about it though is that I can't do more than a semi tone bend on the first string without the sound cutting out. The fret board is that very curved style modelled off Johnny's '65 Jag I believe, and I do love the feel of it. But I heard somewhere that fretboards with a very curved radius are not so good for bending strings on. Is it possible to fix this with the right setup or is that just the way it is on a jag with an old school neck like that? I've learned to live with it and just use the 2nd string for bigger bends, but more and more I've been wondering if there is a solution.
Another great video! I learn so much from these videos! Thanks so much!
No problem Greg! Glad to help!
Fantastic!! Great work as usual!
Great video brother. Subscribed.
Loved this video. Wish I could bring you my Mustang for a setup!
Derek Gentry if you ever find yourself in Melbourne with your mustang feel free to bring it round! Haha! 😁
what do American Pro Jags have underneath the pickguard? channels or tunnels?
How do you get the tremolo arm to stay in place?
Nice video! Which pickups do you recommend for this guitar?Seymour Duncan quarter pound? thanks!!
Depends what you're going for! For traditional sounds I'd go with Duncan antiquitie II's for Jaguar. For hotter Jag tones I generally prefer humbuckers or single coil-sized humbuckers
what type of tape do you use to cover the neck for fret polishing?
Pedro Marques I use painters tape. You can use other tapes as long as they are low tack and don’t react with finishes
@@alexrcowan thanks. That was exactly what was thinking. Thanks
what size allen key for the bridge?
Did you figure it out?
I just got one and need to take a trip to the store tomorrow. I’ll take the bridge with me but if somebody knows that’ll be real helpful
@@nicholaschavira1743 take your time finding a fit. These bridge screws are very easy to strip. Good luck!
Seems though im only located in adl i think ill have to bring my guitars down one day!
Yep bring them round Riley!
