Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 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.
Great classic tone

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 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.

How was the action out of the box? 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. Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? Top level of quality. Fender makes top shelf ,very best items. Reliability How has it stood up over time? 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. General Your general opinion of this product. Abolutely a stunning and beautiful to behold guitar Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? This is a lightweight feeling guitar but it is solid and it is so easy to play. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? With all the different choices you can have with all these switches, nothing compares. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? Absolutely perfect finish.
