Excellent. I can honestly say that of the five Fenders I've owned since 1984 this one is exceptionally well made. The fir & finish is top notch, and the feel is spot on.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
I've had it a little under a month, so it really hasn't had time to deteriorate. I truly cannot imagine how it might deteriorate unless something violent and catastrophic occurs!
General
Your general opinion of this product.
I had expected some fit & finish issues, but was very pleasantly surprised. This is one of the best put-together Fender's I have ever owned/played!
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
The alder body is HEAVY, which is how it should be. The neck is fat anf feels just fine in my huge mitts. Controls are what they are, i.e. it's a Jaguar and take some figuring out.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
All of the above. Very versatile, the p'ups are wound hot so they do sparkle nicely. I just love the crisp shimmer on the bridge p'up with the tone cut switched in.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Outstanding. Not a single blemish, and believe me I've looked.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Bang on. More amazingly, the intonation was spot on too. The strings out of the box are Fender 10's, a little thin for me (and the guitar). Re-strunbg to 11's it seems really happy.

I would consider this guitar to made well. Fender has been producing high quality guitars in Mexico for some time now. And it shows in this Jag. I haven't found any issues with it so far.
Reliability
How has it stood up over time?
Great so far. I've only had it for a short time but given that I have owned many Fender Strats over the years, I expect to get the same reliability from this Jaguar.
General
Your general opinion of this product.
I have a 62 "hot rodded" Strat re-issue as well as a 68 Tele (butchered and rescued/repaired) with phenomenal tone and playability, and this Jaguar keeps up with them. I love the switching and pickup tweaking one can do with this guitar. The quality of craftsmanship that Fender is known for in it's vintage instruments is found in this edition of the Jaguar.
Playability and Feel
How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing?
Playability is great and the feel is very sweet.
Tone
Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin?
What more can I say? This is a Jaguar with all the electronics on board. You can certainly get that bright and "snappy" tone out of this baby! Not to mention great crunch and metal too.
Finish
How did the stain or paint job look?
Although I am not usually a sunburst finish kind of guy, this 3 color sunburst is very nice. And different from my other guitars.
Action
How was the action out of the box?
Pretty good. Good enough that I did not even have it setup by my local guitar shop guy. Was just about in tune out of the box too.

This is a fun guitar both the original one and my new one too. You will never be sorry you own a jaguar. My wife has a stratocaster and it is just as great a guitar as my jaguar.

I bought and learned how to play Guitar in 1966 with a new Fender Jaguar guitar. It is a truly fantasitic guitar. In 1966 they came out with the candy apple red. Love that guitar. Love the remakes. Fender make top of the line quality guitar and amps. I now have a G DEC Amp .. Love it love it what fun. You can be a one man band. Incredible.
