squier Jagmaster II?

[voodoo_boy]

what do you think of it?

click me

[legend]

I prefer the older ones with the bigger scale length, but that's just me. A studio i was in a few months ago had a really nice Vista one and it was a lovely player.

A lot of people really like them.

does anyone know if theres any space under the pick guard for differnt electrics and random stuff?

Holy crap, the changed the scale length!

It seems like the Jagmaster is made for heavier rock and hard playing, and to me a 25.5" scale works much better for that kind of playing. I have a jag, and I love it, but it's never fely right for agressive picking and abuse to me.

Cheers.

im thinking about getting it

[albino]

id play one, ill probably pick one up used some day



it would be cool to see one with hard edges and binding, and a maple fretboard

I have one, it plays wonderful. Came with perfect action and intonation, but that was probably the shop. Neck feels real nice, tuners are enough to get by on, only complaint is the tremelo, it SUCKS. Simply put, buy a new tremelo.

i was actually looking at that. when i can get together some money i may pick one up. for some reason i can't resist a cheap, odd shaped (but not bc rich or any other "metal" shapes) guitars.

Don't buy it, they are like made in China or something.

The Vista series is where it's at. They cost a bit, but i heard they were wonderful guitars. I believe they were made in Japan.

i swear im never buying made in wherever guitars again...


i have a squier strat, the action is so damn hi even the most experienced players had it buzz on them... im buying a parker p38 next week or so and i hope it works problemless because after that, made in somewhere competent all the way (europe doesnt really make electrics i think... or am i wrong?)

Actually, low action and wrong truss rod settins are what cause buzz. Generally, raising the action (with an appropriately adjusted truss rod) is a way to get rid of buzz.

Sounds like you just need to take the time to set it up better. Necks have trussrods and bridges are adjustable for that reason. I wouldn't blame it on the country of manufacture.

Ben, it looks like we're on the same wavelength here :O) (simultaneous post)

that's a very prejudice and assholey comment...if it were somebody else, i'd give them a verbal thrashing unmatched in history.

i have one and, yes, the trem sucks ass. but i don't use it so there's no big f*cking deal...i just bend the neck and since the guitar withstands my primitive neanderthal like abuse and still plays quite nicely, it's pure roughneck.

and +1 to justin.

try telling them something they know, and you'll be at a true loss for words.
