Fender Player Series Jaguar Review 

Krist just chilling in the corner

Wow I didn’t expect to hear Sappy by Nivana!

I have the sunburst version. Great guitar with loads of tones. 15 mins to sort out the fret ends and oil the board, another 30 minutes to swap the bridge for a Staytrem one and to change the tuners to my favourite split-post vintage style ones and it's the most fun guitar I've had in 45+ years of playing. Love it.

Great rundown - you're a gentleman and a scholar.

Best review of Jag I've seen

Looks good and sounds good but I think the difference in higher priced v's lower priced guitars is becoming more and more blurred. Some of the Squiers and other guitars are cheaper and sound just as good. Just my two cents.

Im getting one of these for sure. Played one at the music store last week not plugged in. Im a Tele guy but I NEED one of these after just playing a few chords feels great in the hands and fingers.

This is probably my favorite demo I’ve seen you do.

WOW this sounds AMAZING!!!!! Sounds like the best guitar I’ve watched in a demo (out of all channels)

This looks pretty cool. I’m not in the market for a guitar currently, and probably won’t be for a while. I do think this looks better than some squiers I see. The coil tap is a welcome addition.

Dig the way Jaguars sound. I've never owned one. Now I really want one!

A Jag shaped Strat? I think it is weird that it has less Jag options than the Squier CV. It is like Fender is either pushing you down to Squier or up to the VIntera range.

I dig the guitar, I like there newer strat pick ups for the series aswel. ive heard some that sound rad and some that just sound so out of wack. I like this jag a lot... I do need to get one. the whole series I think is a bit of an upgrade to the regular mexico line. cool to see you buying a lot of fender

the colour and the sound are very good, im thinking about that guitar

There's something about a Jaguar that always takes to the 90's grunge scene. Awesome guitars. Do you still own this? I'd love one, I have the player Jazzmaster (J Mascis made me do it haha) and I think it's awesome. Have always wanted a Jag after seeing Kurt use one back in my youth.

Nice guitar rob love this youtube Channel

Greta guitar ! thanks Rob, like always your reviews are great and show the product in a good way for us to see it! think the price is excellent for all you get in this guitar!!

I've been checking out this player series for some time but still not sure if should pull the trigger on them (jazzmaster). Awesome video and a sick guitar. P.s. love the new man-cave :)

What amp are you running????? Loved your video and input on the Jag

Looks like a pretty versatile guitar - nice colour too.

Very nice guitar dude!! Video is as nice as expected! The guitar looks kinda like a Squier. I don't know why, but I think it looks cheap. But it sounds good!

I think you have sold me on buying this guitar just by playing Sappy!

I know i have the Squier Affinity , not quite a "jazzmaster" but the body shape i just love ...and i quite like the Strat scale neck , ultra skinny , its a joy to play :)

Just got this guitar for Christmas

Nice playing. I just picked up an American Performer Mustang. I am loving it.

Might be a dumb question, but why does the Jazzmaster have two humbuckers and the Jag one? Played a Jazzmaster Player series and loved it from the get go, want to try this Jag at some point.

Nice one Rob! Sounds good, I’d like one in black 😎

That guitar weighs 600 pounds? Dude you are fucking strong as hell

Love me some Cult...nice work!

I just bought the blue one of these. It’s not bad. More of a back up on stage. I’ve got it tuned to open G. We do a bit of Black Crowes. Should do the job. You think the sonic sounds better??

Digging the She Sells Sanctuary - haven't heard that tune in a hot minute!

Awesome thank you

Hey Rob, is this guitar much heavier than a mustang? Now you got me thinking this guitar might be a good addition to my guitar setup haha

This sounds killer. How do you think this compares to a squier j mascis jazzmaster?

fender should give you money for this kind of video haha thx you for playing nirvana..a lot of player use this as ref for exemple. i'll buy the black one for the end of the year...if santa is ok with that :) do you know if we can just replace the bridge with tune o matic ?

I do like it. Doesn't really have anything apart from the occasional sharp frets, though it does seem like it's treading rather close with Squier QC on that point. I'll be sure to go see one for myself soon, if I can find them in guitar shops around here. ☺

What about your opinion between the player series Jag vs. the Jazzmaster? Which do you prefer? Thanks

I just got one in 3-tone sunburst. Only thing that bothers me is bridge. The screws are overlong so it is impossible to get right intonation.

I feel strangley frustrated that the 'jaguar' decal is so small you can hardly see it. Beautiful guitar other than that and a great guitar for the money.

Have you tried playing the Fender 60s Jaguar Lacquer? I’m looking to get a Jag, and there’s a clear difference in price between the Player Series and the 60s Lacquer. I’m not TOO concerned with price, but if the difference in quality is minimal then I’ll vie for the Player. I do prefer the look of the 60s Lacquer to be honest, but I’m not sure if that alone is worth an extra $400. I will probably also be able to afford a $400ish dollar Mustang if I buy this guitar. I’m mostly interested in a good Jaguar though. So, what’s your opinion on both? If you had to pick one to play alternative rock/grunge music, which would it be?

Hi would you recommend this or player strat hss for alterne-grunge-hard rock :)

that color combo brahhhhhhhhhh

Would you choose this or a duo sonic hs? I've played this duo sonic several times and really like it. However both that I played had issues with the pickup selector. I haven't played the jaguar yet and never have played a jag but I LOVE the blue colour and am really torn between the two. What would you go for? Quite a price difference but I just love both and can't decide. I can't afford both as I'm just a teen but oh well. I'm in an indie rock band and also play blues, rock, alternative and punk at home. Thanks in advance :)

hey Rob, your toughts on jaguar Kurt cobain version vs this player series?

So I have a question. I'm starting out playing again and I've been considering getting a Kurt Cobain Fender Jaguar because of the better pickups, but considering how expensive it is I've been thinking of getting a Squier jaguar but can't find a happy medium. What would you recommend? Forgive my appalling punctuation, my iPhone is a piece of shit.

Definitely spilt the humbucker off and on from split to full body, regularly use both. Split the humbucker. There's your single. Simple. Tape the switch for the humbucker. Doesn't need to move 🤣

Does the sonic red have a hint of orange? It looks that way from the video.

Hi Rob, playing some The Cult 👍. Nice demo.

What you think? Fender jaguar player series or Squier jaguar Classic vide 70’s?

Thank god someone who gives a fuck about the ppl actually buying this damn thing. Great work.

Squier jagmaster and this guitar, which is better?

Is there any difference pickups wise with the jazzmaster player model other than the single coil in the neck?

Is there any difference pickup wise between this model and the jazzmaster player model, other than the single coil in the neck?

4:30 Sappy from Nirvana 😀

Hey man how do you compare this color against the fiesta red HH VM squier?

Cant make my mind up between the jaguar or the jazzmaster both sound good which would you get.

What’s the quality like compared to the black top or a vintera jaguar

Would look sick with a normal jag pickguard

Superb guitar.

Is there an American made series of Jaguars? Thanks man!

Daym whats that first riff you were playing in this??

Is it still a rather heavy guitar, in terms of weight?

i still prefer the look of the Squier Rob...which i will get as soon as i've got the cash :)

Why are they replacing the Standards? is it temporary?

Which gauge strings do you use on Jaguars? 10's? 11's?

imagine buying a laptop and the hinges didn't fully close, so you hadto replace them if you wanted the thing to close fully. Or that you had go into the motherboard and solder out parts just so it wouldn't overheat after an hour. This is Fender.

Would you say this is basically a deep orange?

Ah the hi gloss neck , i think i've commented on the Epiphone SG , they always feel a bit "sticky"

What about vibrato? Does it stay in tune? Thank you.

How dark looks pau ferro with lemon oil?

What is the first song played?

I sold mine, honestly I regret it because that guitar played great and had a comfortable feel, and the tuners worked great. I’d just gotten an MIJ Jag and MIJ Mustang so I figured I’d drop one.

I want one in blue but I'm poor

Does it have enough sustain for blues?

Short scale ?

Offset goodness! 👍

What is the name of the first Riff?

Songs you used?

4:26 "a BIT of distorsion"

Sappy!

Would u prefer Classic Player Series or Player Series?

It is definitely a good guitar! You just have to replace the humbucker and you can rock on it!

Ah is this "Classical Gas" ? sure it is , the intro ?

I have this guitar in Blue. It is absolute rubbish. Stay away if you are considering it. It does not stay in tune to save its live (after a pro setup and Shim, loctite on saddles) and the pickups sound bad.

I like the hum bucker option, and the fact you can split the coil and go for a more traditional Jaguar feel. I also like doing away with some of that redundant Jaguar switching, and making it more straight - forward, like the Cobain, Marr, and American Player series Jags. Aesthetically I wish they had kept the chrome switch covers, so I had the top one added - you just have to precision cut the pick guard and an American pro top switch cover fits. It looks more traditional but also one of a kind because you don't have the bottom cover.
