Part of the tuning issues may be due to the bridge saddle screws backing out/moving. A drop of Loc-Tite on each will help with that. Great demo of a really cool guitar, thank you.
Hey I have a really rare guitar and I was wondering if you could maybe try to do a deep dive about it to maybe educate me and others about it. I have a 1996 Jackson Surfcaster SC4. I don't feel comfortable sending it (because there are only about 5 that I know of in the world right now and the one I have I only know of 1 in the finish it in [its a red tiger stripe flame top]) but I can maybe send you pictures if you tell me where to send them to.
Davie is fun to watch. He's always got some curse or schtick going. Between him and TheDooo... only reason I picked up trying to play and buying guitars.
@@xX_Franklin_T_Turtle_Xxa cult following means a small but fervent group of fans. The dude has almost 9m subscribers, so not really a cult following he’s legitimately popular.
Davie's fame is weird to me - I don't get it. I personally think he's grossly overrated* but I'd never knock him his success. Maybe his fans just get something I don't. *Charles B is leaps and bounds ahead of Davie504 both in terms of technical and compositional ability
I've always wanted to try a Jaguar style, I really like the look of this. I didn't really think much of it when I saw Davie's latest video, but seeing it up close was really cool. Also, I appreciate hearing how you pronounce "Jaguar", I cringe whenever I hear people say "Jag-wire".
Called it !! LOL His was fretting out a little though...needed a setup. He needs his basses back before he does something drastic to himself with shotgun LOL
Since you have been reviewing Fender's I have way more respect for your Channel, not the biggest Gibby Fan, but you have helped me gain an appreciation for them, very cool...
The switch knob falls off on my MIM tele all the time. I wrapped a tiny amount of duck tape around the switch itself, then slid the knob over it. Works like a charm!
Thanks for the review of this model! I have been looking at these for a while now, and there aren't many reviews of it. I will definitely keep it on my list. It seems like a versatile guitar and I like the offset shape.
I think Balky should take cousin Larry and run on back to Mepose while they still can. It doesnt stay in tune, but I mean come on, what do you want? Everything?
Fuck yes Trogly! Davie rules, I’m a bass player and I watch your videos all the time. I sure wish you’d do more bass stuff but I know it doesn’t really do well for ya. We are out here, we are watching.
Got the same exact model and color and are in the process of converting it to what a traditional Jaguar should be. The pickups sound decent for rock but for the clean stuff we were rather unimpressed so going third party for those. May post a video once the upgrades are performed and might link to your video which has good examples of what the guitar does out of the box. Oh, and the switch tip fell off on ours too. :-P keep up the great work.
Bought this guitar in august (a limited shell pink edition) and it's funny that some people consider this cheap. I have saved up for months to buy it and am still excited to finally own a real Fender. Guitar sounds great by the way, especially the neck pickup! Though I had to upgrade it a bit. Installed a Staytrem bridge and got a real bone nut fitted.
When you compare the price to a 2,000 American Pro Jaguar, it is a lot cheaper. When you compare it to a Squire it's not cheap. It's all relative Jeff.
To keep the trem in tune try the trem training technique. It worked for me. You pull all the way up on the trem arm until it hits the stops. Then tune the strings. Then play and whammy lightishly on the trem bar followed by pulling up again to the stops. Check tuning and adjust. Whammy lightly again and pull up. Retune. Repeat until it is in tune after pulling up. At this point l am able to do a lot more whammying than I was able to do before using the trem training method, before the guitar goes out of tune. Trem training works pretty good for sure.
Had this model earlier this year for a couple of weeks. I like Mexican Fenders and I also like their offset models but this Jag felt just cheap, more like an average Squier than a Fender. The pickuard was super noisy, no matter where you touched it, the static noise just wouldn't go away, even after I had shielded and grounded everything. The neck had sharp fret ends and the tremolo system was a cheaper version of the original, with no spring lock. Like I said - Fender Mexico makes good stuff, that's why I was disappointed. What liked about this Jag were pickups, which sounded good, even the split humbucker.
As an actual bassist who doesn’t take himself seriously and meme enthusiast, I genuinely love his content and really like when he leans on the memes and pisses off the nerds.
The switch tip like that always fall off on the MIM. Put a tiny drop of super glue. It’ll break free if u need to take it off. Idk if I missed it but Jaguars have a 24” scale also
11:53 The bridges on Jaguars and Jazzmasters are notorious for their design issues. They tend to sink and lower themselves into the body ruining the action, even on newer models. But I have never seen what Trogly is showing here, so I guess that’s yet another design problem. This is why I’m only interested in Jaguar and Jazzmaster models with stoptail bridges or Strat style tremolo bridges (like the American Performer Jazzmaster).
Because we are hillbillies. And don’t wanna sound to pretentious. Jag-you-ahr just don’t sound American. We have been defying the Brits for couple hundred years. No sense in changing now.
To me, it sort of just looks like a jazzmaster with some different pickups. Because the jaguar is the jaguar due to the pickups and all the switch choices. Because the body shape is the same on both guitars. Still looks like a nice guitar though. I just bought a player plus in Olympic pearl. It's freaking awesome
Part of the problem with the Jazzmaster/Jaguar tremolo system is that because the Jazzmaster was originally intended to be a jazz guitar, it was designed for use with jazz gauge 12's and 13's, and if those are used it will apparently stay in tune better.
Lubricating the saddles is 100% the wrong thing to do on offsets with the rocking bridge. That will make the tuning LESS stable. Look to the nut slots, neck angle and sufficient bridge height for tuning stability.
I know this is an old video, but if you take a pair of needle nose pliers and just slightly bend the tip of that three way switch the tip will stay on snugly.
2 HUGE issues: 1. non-locking Floating trem?!?!? Why does fender always cheap out on components?!!! It ain't a Squier! 2. Where's the "Strangle" switch?!?!?! It's supposed to be a Jag! Seriously, they should've given it a 5-way and run it like three p-ups (neck, neck/split, neck/buck, buck, split) and used that top toggle for "strangle" Aside from that, DAMN she's purdy!
@@joermnyc yup, standard Strat/Strat clone wiring (except for the strangle circuit)....just can't imagine fudging with the wiring of a $700 guitar....but then again it is reversible and wouldn't cosmetically alter the guitar in any way.......
A lot of people have had problems keeping those Jazzmaster trems in tune over the years and according to some who have played them way more than i ; its because Leo designed it to be strung with 13s on the high E and the lower string tension of modern light gauge sets throws off the balance of the bridge. (i prefer hardtails myself) If you want to check out a dual humbucker version check out the Lee Renaldo & Thurston Moore signature models.
I don't know if this was mentioned, I didn't hear it, but the scale length is 24", so it good for people with small hands, not so desirably for regular guys.
