The Breeze Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Does anybody here own or ever played a Jag? Id love to see some pics and info on how they play... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I've had a '62 and a '63. They were okay. I get it in my head I need a Jaguar or Jazzmaster when I go on a surf instrumental kick but that's just in my head; I don't think they're any better suited for that type of music.... except the tremolos are really smooth. The controls are a little over the top. I come from the Tele school (basic beyond basic). Even having said all that, I'd love to have another one someday.

The Breeze Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Have u ever tried one of those thinline tele's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I briefly owned a '69 Tele thinline that was owned by Narvel Felts. It sat in a green '76 Volare for about 10 years. When I got it, the frets were green. It was a good Tele but I paid $500 for it and knew I could quickly flip it. I sold it a few weeks later for $1350. That was in '96 or '97. It would have brought scary money now. Here is a crappy shot of Narvel holding the Tele on a c.1970 album: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbabig Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Tried one out in a shop, not anything too special about the way it plays but imho its the coolest looking thing fender has. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MojoRedFoot Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 1996 MIJ Jaguar. Too much feed back and not enough b@ll$ so I put a Red Lace Sensor in the bridge a few years ago. It has a TOM style bridge as well. I will eventually get mustang saddles and put the old bridge back on. I have loved the way it plays since the day I bought it in the summer of 96.

DanvillRob Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Here's me playin' my '64 or '65 Jag. Sorry, it's in B&W, the photo was taken for a newspaper ad. This was back in 1965. This is a photo of the picture when it was on some TV show. It was a "pinky-orange" color...ugly as heck. Maybe called Persimmon? When I got out of music, I gave it to my brother. Last year, I asked him if he still had it...he said he sold it like 7-8 years ago for $500. I wish I had it back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
