hey all
just wanted to write a quick post here on my spanking new jagmaster...boy!

went to the city to have dinner with the girlfriend, came home with another guitar....and yes i know its honeymoon time but, i played the sucker for an hour in the shop and it seriously awesome!! i have 15 guitars and have sold many over the years so not new to the instrument buying process, but dang

i was in the shop and im like, this is too easy to play, just found out its a 24inch neck...jeez why dont more fender have this!?!

everything is just 'there' with the shorter neck! as for build and finish, top notch too, the neck feels like its straight off a usa standard tele, no cheap wood feeling here and the same finish, satin?...plays and sounds amazing, might put the antiquity buckers i have in her just cause i love them and there more single coil sounding, but for now im a very happy dude

heres what she looks like:

love the swithcing & knob positions too, easy to adjust too after the tele!

be good to hear if anyone else has picked up one of these?

unless yours is a squier vista from 1997-98, it's not a shorter scale. the one in the link is the newer 25.5 scale and not made in japan. i bought my squier vista used about 10 years ago and i love it to death. strangely, mine has the bullet trussrod ala 70's while other's have the adjustment at the butt of the neck. no one seems to know why they came both ways.

Squier website says its a 24" scale.

I've been looking at these for a while, know if there are any places that sell pickguards?

Papa Joe · December 7th, 2009, 09:19 PM

I've got one just like yours.Almost picked up another one off CL but couldn't agree on the price.I'm thinkin' of changin' the pups to single coil.Dunno yet..

def 24" of love!

papa joe let me know how you go on the singles, i wouldnt mind doing that either...although the middle position comes pretty close to single coil twang

giginthesky · December 14th, 2009, 05:14 PM

i stand corrected. they switched them back to 24" in 2005. sorry if i confused anybody!

Are all the Jagmasters, the Squire Brand? There's one cheap on my local CL and I'd love to take a crack at one.

as far as i know, yes. i've never seen a fender jagmaster.

bluepill · December 17th, 2009, 07:22 AM

i wouldnt worry about the squire name, this sounds, plays and is as good quialty as any japanese or usa guitar i own...i would say on par, if not better than the cv...thats saying something!
