Completely forgot to mention in the video, but this guitar came with 9s and they just felt so stupidly slinky and unstable. Kinda played like shit. First thing I did was put on a set of D’Addario XS 11-49s, and the increased tension made this guitar play beautifully. I’d highly recommend higher gauge strings than you may be used to for shorter scale guitars like jags and mustangs. I’ve heard that Fender offsets in general are actually designed to be used with higher gauge strings, and I’ve heard/watched/had many occurrences of just going up 2-3 gauges in string size fixing a majority of “out of the box” problems. IMO kinda ridiculous Fender just puts 9s on everything, regardless of whether it serves the guitars function or not.
I agree that 9s on everything is ridiculous, for Strats and Teles I can understand it, but Offsets with the proper vibrato should come with 11-49s at the very least.
Guild puts 11-49s on their guitars stock and the ones with JM style vibratos stay in tune beautifully right out of the box.
Putting 9’s on a short scale guitar should be a crime.
@@thekipinator7660 absolutely. Mine also came with 9s. Immediately swapped out for 11s.
Yeah, that's ridiculous. The lightest set I'd use would be a 10-52, but usually I use 11-54s.
You'd think Fender would take the minute to throw some decent gauge strings on their offsets so they actually feel and sound decent out of the box or off the wall.
I actually use 9’s on my mustang, but I also have years of experience setting guitars up. It is a unique little beast. Mine has the jazzmaster tremolo, roller bridge, and dual p90’s (yes actual p90’s, not jazzmaster pickups) but I did all the mods myself. In most cases though I agree, short scales often need thicker strings. The middle position is absolutely golden on it, a beautiful clean tone there
Great video and review. I was about to hit the purchase button and then came here. Still hitting the purchase button. It’s a beautiful guitar.
The most unhinged but honest review, thanks dude
I took advantage of my switches and rhythm circuit. The rhythm circuit "hears" all pickup combinations, and it gives me the choice of brighter or darker tones for my selection. The pickup selector switches are changed to double-throw switches and put the pickups in series when they're both in the down position. the "choke' switch is a phase switch for the bridge pickup, now. Lotsa tones.
That sounds pretty sweet. Did you mod those in or are they native features?
Hitting us with the cumbia sicodelica!
More people need to hear it man, that stuff’s the shit!
I honestly loved how messy and incontrollable the distortion tones sounded. Sure, needs a lot eq to remove some of the annoying frequencies that. But i love the raw vibe it brings
Me too i like that sound
Always a pleasant surprise whenever you drop guitar reviews/demos. Also great intro demo, probably the best I've heard of your solo stuff from your vids tbh
Bet you didn’t expect to hear that shit as the intro
what song was that? your band? it sounded so cool

@@thekipinator7660ha! Saw LA LOM live this year and heard the intro and thought “man, that’s giving LA LOM vibes big time….” So this was satisfying comment to see!
Amazing intro brother, would love to hear some Caifanes soon!! Cheers from Texas hermano :)
Caifanes is da best
just remind that Sonic Youth usually stripped down most of their off sets, just to simplify
Really solid review man, really appreciate it. Also as a funk player I'm really grateful for you throwing in some funk tones 🤘
“don’t be a dick.” Words to live by. Good message, bro (not being sarcastic either).
Marc Ribot gets some lovely distorted tones out of his jag 👌
Jaguars have FANGS
The fact that your played Freaking Me Out by the Frights makes this the best demo out right now 🏄🏼♂️
Having watched your vids before this calmer approach is much better. Have seen purists drag this guitar but props for actually buying it and giving a fair review. I dare say most jazz/jag players don’t use the rhythm switch. I personally really like it but don’t care if someone likes this style instead, more offset styles the better.
Agreed. This is a good thing if it means more people pick up offset guitars. The extra switches on Jazzmasters/Jaguars/Mustangs can be pretty intimidating for people.
@@silverman169agreed with this. My CME jazzmaster is perfect because I don’t like the rhythm circuit. The only “quirky” offset switching I like is the mustang. The out of phase is cool.
Can confirm I have a jazzmaster and never use the rhythm switch
I love my squire jaguar 70s classic vibe. I love it for it's rhythm/lead to get a jazzy bass and it's strangle switch to get sweet crisp highs like a Spanish classical. I'm struggling to like those guitars. I feel Ike they should have named them something else? Not that they are bad, they just are not really a jaguar. Maybe they should call them panthers or cheetahs
How does the neck feel? I need a Jaguar but tend to prefer the satin modern C. I’m not opposed to adding a rhythm circuit to a Player II but would rather it come stock.
i have one too. the neck got sticky on me after a year so i ended up using a green 3m dish sponge to make it faster. i love the shape and i have a disability that makes playing super painful. this is the only guitar i can play for more than an hour without pain.
after a shim and setup it has the lowest action ive ever played in my life. flatter than you think it would be though!
@@denyel_ thanks for the tips. I prefer a chunky neck to the modern super thin ones. I think over time I'm going to try to get a bit of gloss off that neck and shim it up. It's perfectly playable now, just a basic glance. I can get the whammy spring to buzz a tiny bit playing bass e or f in rhythm going for super bass. I'm learning toward adding the bridge palm muting hardware to the bridge later too, and a bit of locktight to the bridge screws to be safe.
@@CJ-jh9ri The classic vibe necks are definitely not satin finish. And they can feel a bit sticky, especially in hot / humid weather. So if you don't like gloss necks, the Squier CV neck might not suit you. You might be better off with the Squier J Mascis Jazzmaster has a more of a satin neck C shaped neck, with jumbo frets, and that neck plays great. There's a bit less issues with the trem/tuning on that, that the Squier CV Jaguar. You could look at the previous Vintera Jaguars too. Can get them on sale, now the Vintera II are out, but I prefer the Vintera I Jaguars.
A Jag without all the appointments is like a woman without lipstick, eyeliner and eyelashes.
I like that you chose the yellow. I like that you cuss because the music community on UA-cam has become too corporate and sterile. I would go with the Jazzmaster over the jag, but good vid man man. Well done.
That intro song is so fire
Anybody knows the name of the song?
If they added the additional plate and had a three way that did warm, normal, and bright it would have all of the basic jaguar tones without the messy switching.
I understand removing the rhythm circuit. The tone knob achieves the same sound. I do not understand removing the strangle switch. You need that one for sure, and at that point you might as well add the second parallel/series switch like the Marr Jaguar.
Sadly the Squier CV Jaguars seem to have it right - Even if you want a "modern high performance" one! The Contemporary Jaguar is awesome.
I actually like the Player II otherwise, I don't mind it looking like a Jazzmaster, but... I'd need the strangle added as a push/pull knob.
Jazzmasters also have a rhythm circuit
@@TheloniousBosch The chrome
Get a CV Squier and upgrade the pups. I know nobody out there wants to show up with ‘Squier’ on the headstock, but i use my guitar for making music, so Idgaf 😂
Have a Jaguar with humbuckers on my wish list. I have a 70’s Classic Vibe currently.
Best review I’ve seen in ages. Thanks for your honesty and input.
Honestly those distorted tones are excellent. Some people don’t like jazzmaster/jag sound. I love it for its percussive intensity the harder you play really comes out great.
Thanks for playing some nice clean tones. I'm a jazz player, no pedals. So, clean tones are what I'm looking for. Most guys are showing how they can riff through all their pedals and I can't tell a thing about the guitar. Very nice video. I think I'm gonna spend my money on one of these. It will be nice to play jazz on a guitar clear enough to heat all the notes.
sick playing in the beginning!
Nice job maestro! I also join the group that really enjoyed the “distorted“ sounds (VERY “Sorry Ma…” era Replacements noises - which I think were mostly P90 Les Paul noises) For my money, that thing could almost go into the paranormal phylum considering how they’ve configured it.
Also, kudos on your choice of string gauge. I tend to use the scale length to choose how thick the wires are going to be. That’s what I have on my jag. Sadly, even though it doesn’t have the rhythm circuit, I feel any jag missing the “strangle switch” is missing out on the whole jag deal (high pass filter). For example, if you have say a Pog, a compressor, and some delay/verb seasoned to taste, you get a free Rickenbacker 12 string!
Again, nice job !
Cool review. Great color. I prefer the simplified specs. Time to jump on a Jag & JM for me.
Nice review/demo. "We Are Sex Bob-omb" was a nice surprise. I'm honestly pretty impressed with the clean/overdriven tones. They have that classic jangle, but sound like they'd cut through a mix really easily.
I feel you on the aesthetics and "unnecessary" features, though. I picked up a used Kurt Cobain model like 10 years ago, and like how it retains more of the classic Jaguar look while swapping out the lower switches for a 3-way Gibson toggle. I just use that to flip between pickups, then keep my rhythm circuit dialed all the way down and use it as a kill switch. It's the best "Fender with humbuckers" guitar I've ever owned, but I still tend to prefer a Telecaster for clean single-coil sounds.
Nice playing, too, btw.
I agree, I think the Kurt Cobain Jaguar is the perfect blending of modern appointments and vintage looks for a Jaguar. I just really really really wish it came in at LEAST one other color option. Would be a day one purchase for me if it came in another color, even a simple one like white.
Nice review, and examples.
I have a modded 70s classic vibe.
Q pickups, locking tuners, tremolo. It’s my favorite guitar right now.
And yes the 9 gauge was ridiculous. 11s for me too
Don’t use the rhythm circuit either
Jags are known for being super bright and thin, the classic player special from the 2010s had super hot pick ups that were great with distortion, I guess these guitars are trying to pick up where those left off. Even the jazzmaster pick ups from that line were awesome, bands like whirr, superheaven, movements used those special classic players
Great playing. Right up my street! This is much more like your trad Jaguar than anything that Fender have been putting out for the same price point up until now. As you say, it lacks the extra switching and cool chrome stuff, but at least it's recognisably a Jaguar!
I bought my jaguar and I absolutely love it
Wonderful clean tones.
I agree with the pick ups .Wish they had the rhythm circuit ,It`s what Jaguars are ,You play amazing young man,Most honest review on Player II Jags.
I like my Player II Jaguar. I don't need the fancy doohickies, I need it to have Jaguar sound and the shorter radius!
Excellent review. Straight forward and balls honest.
I think I'm gonna pick up a coral red one.
And I'll probably do what I always do to Tele's..........swap in a 4 way switch for the in-series tone in the 4th position (very useful at gigs)
WTF.
It may even allay your concerns about the distortion sounds in that position.
BTW, yeah on the 11s. Already use the DAddario XS 11-49 ones on all my electric guitars (hell, XS's on my mando and acoustics too)
I kinda like using the rhythm circuit on my Jazzmaster. I don't get why Fender would leave out a feature that makes Jags and JMs unique in that way.
a 3 way toggle is so limiting for a jag. I love the rhythm circuit and i use the strangle switch regularly to sit in the mix better in jams. I also modded the wiring so when both PU switches are down they are put in series instead of off. Really thickens up the tone and gets a good volume boost to hit my overdrive harder.
All that said, i really love the tones you are getting out of this one. Seems like its a great guitar. I can understand the appeal of having a streamlined Jag with more focus on build quality and comfortable playing.
I have Fender Player 1 jaguar from a few years ago and seems to be more universal with Bridge Humbucker pick up so it can fit to those grunge, punk and dirty fuzzy tones too with great sound evenly with melodic indie or soft sounds. This one player 2 I wouldn’t buy, I like to have more universal sound to easily switch to more heavy sounds.
Spot on!!!! The Jazzmaster is also best for clean tones.
I also like how minimalistic Jaguar looks without all metal parts and switches
Psychedelic Cumbia in the intro is INSANE
Man, your clean tones are sweet! Maybe try backing the tone off on the distorted tones to get it a little more "meaty?"
Hialeleahma-lelalalealealeah yellow
I call it Banana Cream
playing is top notche!
im so fucking bummed this doesnt sound good distorted. it checks all my other boxes, plus it looks gorgeous.
I agree 100% re the switching: I don’t really use it, but I want it there. Having said that, I’d take that fretboard and no switching over traditional switching and the awful fretboards they’ve been putting on Mexicans and Squiers any day.
I've been playing offset fenders for over 30 years and gotta say, Jaguars are stellar guitars for fuzz tone...
I wound up making a Jaguar from parts, finishing it myself, as a lockdown project because I'd had so many bad experiences with bad fretwork on Squier Jags - but at the time, it was so hard to get a legit single coil Fender Jag for under a grand.
If the Player II had been around a few years earlier, I wouldn't have bothered making my Jag. If I had to choose between vintage control plates + humbuckers, or the Player II without the plates but keeping the single coils...I'd go Player II all day, because the Player II has the essential pieces I care about: the single coil Jag pickups, the scale length, the trem. That's the core of the sound and feel I get when playing my Jag.
That being said, personally, I *do* use the rhythm circuit and the strangle switch extensively in my playing, because I like having the onboard ability to change how my guitar is sitting in the mix. But based on my experience and the conversations I've had with other players, I think I'm in the minority - a number of Jag players never use those switches, or in some cases even tape them off. So I find it kinda funny hearing other folks (not you) complain about the missing switches on the Player II Jag, when the control setup on this model is what probably 95% of guitarists are used to using.
Any idea on how the pickups in this Jag compare to the Pure Vintage '65 set? I've got the '65s in my Jag, and like you, I find that a number of higher-gain, more aggressive classic distortions don't play particularly well with this guitar. However, I can get a lovely, airy, even heavy crunch with Tubescreamer-style overdrives; I'm mostly using the Hardwire CM-2 with more mid-hump-y settings.
@@iankinzel the jag you can see me playing at 1:08 had pure vintage 65s in it, and while I sold it and can’t compare them side to side I would say these pickups are very very different. A lot warmer and kinda fat sounding. I eventually sold that other jag bc I just wasn’t happy with the sound, not to knock the 65s but they just weren’t for me, and just did not work with the sounds I needed for my band. I personally prefer these way better…but I prefer the look and feel of that other jag lol I mean it’s just so fucking badass looking, was just too expensive itself to be worth changing the pickups in. In my dream world I’d have that jag but with these player ii pickups in it instead.
@thekipinator7660 Yeah, my Jaguar with the 65s felt way too bright and way too low-output until (a) I got more comfortable using the controls, which a Jaguar really demands in a way other guitars don't; and (b) I built a couple make-shift wooden pickup mounts out of popsicle sticks so that I could set the pickups higher.
That's really interesting to hear the difference on the Player II. Truth be told, I'm not too picky about tone - as long as something is well-built and reasonably articulate, I'll figure out how to play with what I've got. So by now, the way I play my Jag is based on the sound and feel of those 65s. But I would have been perfectly happy with a Player II like yours - and the sound is light years ahead of my experience with the Squier Jags.
@@iankinzel out of all of the Squier classic vibe models, the Jaguar has been consistently the weakest option as it tends have the worst qc, at least in my experience/opinion. I’ve personally never liked the pickups, and almost every example I’ve tried in stores
desperately needed shimming, as the factory seems to have a hard time getting the neck pocket angle correct consistently. This comment section is filled with people telling me that the Squier classic vibe is better, and I just don’t agree. Sure it has the looks. But I don’t feel right recommending a product that requires work/fixing right out of the box. Easy work or not, I feel better off recommending someone a quality product rather than a project. And I’m sure some people get lucky with a good one and I’m glad, but I just wish there was a larger variety of options for jags in general compared to strats and teles, and right now I just personally feel this is the strongest option price/quality wise.
Also I applaud you for having that mindset, of learning to work with what you have. Sometimes I feel like I get a new piece of gear and expect it to write songs for me, or just pump out the exact tones I want for me without really learning the piece of gear first, and I know a lot of musicians/gearheads fall into that often without really thinking about it. I’m sure your jag build is killer, and best of all it’s a one of a kind with an owner that took the time to get to know it and adapted to it. You sound like you have a great relationship with your instrument, which is more than most people make effort at doing
Break out a router and route the body so you can "upgrade" the controls to old school ones. Buy the chrome plates, etc., modify the pickguard to accomodate, and solder all the correct electronic parts into it and make it your own.
Great review!!!
I really like the yellow. Some extra chrome would look better though. I wonder how it compares with the Vintera model or the Professional model?
love yo vids btw keep it up
I subscribed because you said, ‘I bought the guitar with my own money and I’ll say whatever the fuck I want’. Legend ✌️ from Australia 🇦🇺
I bought one and love it. Did you notice Fender moved the tremolo closer to the bridge for better string angle? Mustang bridge is also much nicer than the traditional Jag bridge. I miss the chrome on the upper pickguard, but oh well. Pick-ups are detailed and modern sounding, really like everything about this guitar.
Yo is that Scott Pilgrim music in the distorted tones
@@sanfran216 yes
I got a Squier Jaguar, because it is a Jaguar - would not buy one of these. The Squier has a real bone nut.
My man just pulled out the frights and mt eddy for the demos… nice
@@rokomouth A+ for catching that
The Player line is basically Fender's equivalent of like, Squier's Affinity line or something (and Vintera/VII being like, the equivalent of the Classic Vibe). Stuff that's a bit more simplified down so that new players can jump in. I guess my real issue is that spending like, $300 for a decent but dumbed-down guitar for a beginner is fine; spending almost three times that for the same concept doesn't make much sense to me, but I'm not in marketing or brand strategy or any of that nonsense, so what do I know. I decided to just save up a bit more money and imported a Japanese Jaguar and got everything I wanted out of a Jaguar. That being said, that yellow is pretty rad, and the pickups don't sound all that bad.
I'd give a jaguar a 25,5" scale length before removing the control plates. Those are 90% of why Jags are cool in the first place IMO
What are you playing for clean tones
Look into swapping the 3way to a 4way switch and you can put both pickups in series humbucking mode for a Les Paul Junior kind of vibe. Johnny Marr signature model has the 4-way switch and Telecasters use them a lot so you can find schematics either place.
Lovely demo
Almost nobody does point-blank distortion nowadays because hard clipping distortion on most circuits kill your mids (save for certain genres). High gain applications now typically involve stacking a bunch of low gain pedals with a Tube Screamer in between.
Was torn between the yellow and the red (got the red). Miss the extra chrome but it's such a fun and likable instrument. I threw on some 10-52s and it feels better than the strings it shipped with. Thanks!
@@baodo_cake I’m debating switching this one for the red one! Can’t decide 😭
@ Tortoise shell pick guard? I like how they resemble 60s custom color guitars that were left out in the sun.
to me it sounds more like a jazzmaster, it lacks the agresiveness and sharpness of other jaguars but still sound great just different to the other jaguars
Better than the last player offsets, it actually has the correct pickups this time
Great review. As you prove here these things sound and play really great. Have to be played to be believed. In person they’re way better than on paper. Head and shoulders better than the prior player. If I didn’t already have a classic vibe I’d very likely pick one of these up.
Compared to the CV I think the Player 2 has better pickups and real rosewood neck and smoother trem. CV has all the switching on board though so in my book it gets the edge
I can definitely see a lot of folks going for the player over the Vintera 2 though - imo the maple boards just don’t work and a lot of people would prefer the simpler switching of the P2
@@jessethetodd was super disappointed with the look of the new vintera ones, I agree the maple boards just do not work at all. I hope they do the Vintera Modified thing again, and offer an alternative Jaguar in some way
That would be a great guitar if they put stacked humbuckers and coil split for each pick up.
I find your funky tone great. You get it only with the amp set up?
If you used a bright switch with old fuzz like a Dallas Arbiter it turns the fuzz into an overdrive tone. Save money for a two for one.
I would like a Jag with the classic setup but NO chrome. Like this, but still a full Jag.
kickass intro!
Hypothetically I wonder if you could save money by starting with the Player II as your base model and swapping in some of the electronics it’s missing. Because it looks pretty sharp and clearly plays and sounds pretty good.
I love hot single coils I think it’s great there’s no humbuckers on there.
You save money on it by going with the color you got, too. Weird it’s more expensive for red or burst.
@@josephabrams3051 unfortunately the body isn’t routed for those missing electronics. I actually considered doing this, and the routing job by a pro would’ve been about $200, plus the costs of the new hardware and parts, and then the work of perfectly matching everything up. It’s definitely a doable project, but just a little too much for me to want to do with a new guitar. Doing modifications like these significantly plummet a product’s resale value too, which I rely on in order to try all the gear I try. Waiting for someone else on UA-cam to do it so I can watch tho!

great video, your guitar looks Beautifull, the tones are pretty great..... the playability should be really good, 24 inches scale is so fun (I have a Duo sonic), probably istalling a dmazio hot rail on the bridge will help to convert that guitar into a perfect tool for giging, cheers bro!!

I Kinda want this thing just for that colour, and then I want to mod the heck out of it.
bad ass intro dude
Pro tip! Buy the chrome plate for the jaguar rhythm switch without the ciruitry, just for the looks. And then use a chrome plate from the johnny marr switchable pickups selector chrome plate. This way you could change the look to the vintage original jaguar
That's a sick idea actually. Could probably get away with buying a johnny Marr pick guard replacement and adding the chrome
This body doesn't have any routing on the upper bout so you wouldn't be able to put the switch or wheels in.
Would be an awesome mod project! Unfortunately after disassembling this guitar, converting it to a traditional Jaguar requires an extensive amount of routing. Even the area where the current pickup selector switch is requires some additional routing to accommodate a Johnny Marr style switch. Would be a cool project tho! Just a little more work than I would want to do on a brand new guitar personally, hope to see if someone else does that on UA-cam sometime, I’d love to see the results.
great video as always
Quite confused by this Jag. I'm a Strat and Tele owner and some of the reasons I'd pick one of these up is, the shorter scale and rhythm circuit. Basically just having 2 strat pickups with a Tele three way switch seems like worst of all worlds. Is it just the offset vibe and shorter scale?
@@DanCThorpe it’s the shorter scale and offset body shape, and the vibrato unit, which has a very unique feel and smoothness, and because of its design it’s easy hold the whammy bar while you strum and play the entire time while staying very smooth, which opens a lot of doors for full chord vibrato embellishments in your playing
Wow what song is that? 0:28
It’s a mistake to pair the stripped Jag with a DS. A Fuzzface would be way better.
@@claesvanoldenphatt9972 my non-copyright take on “Danza Del Petrolero” by Los Mirlos! My cover is very similar to the cover by La Lom: ua-cam.com/video/CCVvkWhV_zE/v-deo.html
I like it but I’m not someone that cares too much if a guitar deviates from the traditional formula as long as it retains the essence of what it is. For a Jag that essence is primarily the pickups and the trem. That said, if given the choice I almost always opt for the traditional configuration first. Same here. Would have liked to have the rhythm circuit, strangle switch, and button pick-up switches but this looks good and sounds great. Has almost a Jazzmaster Jr. vibe in the looks department.
Yeah, Jags look best with all the chrome plates and weird switches and rollers, but gotta say this looks and sounds pretty great.
It sounds pretty good. As cool as the OG style jag is, fender knows all those switches are not popular. I personally think they should have went with an LP style switch on the upper horn so it’s more out of the way though.
ok, but i want a tom-style bridge hardtail jag with hbs and with the easy controls please. it would be sick if fender made this.
@@chainsawenthusiast you can find a Fender Blacktop Jaguar used pretty easily online which is exactly that, both on reverb and guitar center, usually between $400-600 used, and there’s also a limited edition Player Jaguar HH that was just discontinued this summer but can be found on reverb and sometimes guitar center used and brand new usually between $600-850ish
nice song for the clean demo. what song was that?
@@badcatz at 4:36 it’s a song my band and I are working on called Soft Drinks, unreleased at the moment!
I don't know man the indie tones part sounds really good with some dirt on it. I don't know if it's your playing or what but your dirt sounds great dude.
Someday i will buy a jaguar and switch the rithm circuit to a tremolo pedal
“Pretty hard to make the ds-1 sound like shit” bro what?! It’s pretty hard to not make the ds-1 sound like shit unless it’s driving something else.
As someone who played a Jaguar and rarely use the rhythm circuit. I don’t really care about this guitar not having having the rhythm circuit I mean I know this kinda is a controversial take but who really uses the rhythm circuit? I don’t really see many people use the rhythm circuit. I taped up my rhythm circuit on my jazzmaster cause I accidentally would keep bumping into the rhythm circuit switch. It got annoying to me so I just taped it off.
kurt cobraine used jaguars for distorted tones but he used seymour duncan pickups
Maybe this is not the right vid. I am looking for a comparison between 1960's and the current Fender Jaguar. So what's the differences between the 2 types of Jaguars
Huge thnx
bros body makes the jaguar look massive lol
shit i might have to pick either this or the jazzmaster up now. thanks a lot man, my wallet will never recover (not that i'm complaining).
I love my squier CV jag. Rhythm circuit is my happy place, I rarely use the lead circuit tbh. I'm used to being the heyoka guy. This new Jag sounds good, but it's not for me. Nice demo!
It’s so weird that Squier CV is a better option than any available non-Japan Fender besides a custom shop. Wtf. I bought one and replaced the pickups/electrics and tuners, and it’s freakin great. 🤷♂️
@@sub-jec-tiv yeah I'm swapping the bridge for a staytrem and the nut needed a little adjustment for 11s, but after that I'm happy as hell with it. A really comfortable fun guitar.
