Squier Jaguar

[Billyboygretsch]

I have never played or owned Jaguar not even the car ! So I bought a Squier Jaguar - Surf Green with tortoiseshell pickguard, Mustang bridge, fender locking tremolo. Strings a bit heavy for me but first impressions are very favourable. Trying it through my Eccamatic with two Gretsch amps. Sounds a bit Gretchy when playing Rebel Rouser and Riders in the Sky. Anyone else experienced a similar guitar

Here it is I'm off surfing see yawl

It's a lovely guitar.

I know that several of us here have bought it, in various finishes.

Mine is white with tortoiseshell.

[Billyboygretsch]

Was very tempted by white but never had a surf green guitar.

[AlanMcKillop]

Mines is in Sunburst.

I see there is a1962 one on page 148 of Guitarist August issue has been sprayed metallic green sparkle

I have a white one like Jim's, great guitar.

What a cool color, BillyBoy. l imagine Jaguars in white and those period colors. Although the Ventures never used them, that should be great for early Bob Bogle pieces. Probably with heavy tapewounds.

Has come supplied with 12s which I find a bit heavy but will persevere or at least until I start crying haha

That's a very cool looking guitar, congrats.
It's gotta be great for knocking out some surf tunes.

That model has a lot of fans.

It's only the short scale that puts me off getting one.
I prefer the Jazzmaster.
