Open Box Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar Limited Edition Electric Guitar Level 2 Daphne Blue 194744037344
Description
This guitar produces incredible tone courtesy of its dual Fender-designed alnico single-coil pickups, which run through lead and rhythm circuits with an array of switches that let you hone in on your unique sound. Small hands will appreciate the short 24" scale length and slim, comfortable C-shaped neck profile with an easy-playing 9.5"-radius Indian laurel fingerboard. Vintage-style frets are tall and narrow for increased precision.
Staying faithful to the original, this Jaguar offers a vintage-style tremolo system for expressive string-bending effects and floating bridge with individual barrel saddles. The headstock features 1970s-inspired markings, the hardware is nickel-plated and the neck has a tinted gloss finish for an old-school aesthetic vibe.
Choose from two limited-edition throwback finishes: Daphne Blue and Shell Pink.
A case is sold separately.

Outstanding quality and perfect vintage feel
The quality of this guitar is outstanding, but I have found Squier guitars to be very well made now compared to the inexpensive guitars they made thirty or forty years ago. I've been around guitars for a while... This is now my third Squier guitar and it is excellent. The short scale fretboard is 1/2 inch shorter than my two other offsets - a Squier Paranormal Tele and a Fender American Vintage 60s Jazzmaster. I couldn't check how straight the neck is on the CV 70s Jaguar because the tool I use is for regular scale necks. Everything else was in order including the intonation, which almost never happens without a set up of new guitars, even my expensive ones. The Jaguar's pickups definitely have more punch than the Paranormal Tele's pickups, and are brighter than the pick ups on the Jazzmaster. This Squier Jaguar is more than adequate to get that vintage offset feel. Unless you can and want to spend five times as much on the Fender brand, you are getting a quality guitar that plays just as well for a few hundred dollars. Don't get me wrong about Fender... the American and Japanese Fenders are works of art IMHO that play and sound like masterpieces and are well worth the high sticker price. I really like the large headstocks, and only wish the color of the headstock matched the body. As I mentioned, the intonation was already good and I didn't have to make any adjustments. The fretboard needs oiling, but the tuners are working well at keeping the guitar in tune. With all the added electronic components, this Classic Vibe 70s Jaguar is heavier than each of the other offsets, and like the Jazzmaster, this Jaguar has nice binding around the fretboard. The classic vibe / American vintage guitars are meant to be more old-school. The string action is higher and the sound is very twangy. The more modern sounding guitars have a more refined feel to them, unlike the rawness of these early style guitars of the 60s and 70s. The Jazzmaster and Jaguar controls allow for a variety of sounds but within the range of the soft, darker jazz/rhythm settings to the brighter and crunchier lead settings. This CV 70s Jaguar is brighter overall than my AV 60s Jazzmaster, so I get a good range of sounds to play with. If you like the vintage feel and sound and playability of a more classic feeling rock guitar, you must get this Squier Jaguar before it's gone.

Quality Issues
I'm giving this a solid 2 star rating out of the box. I would like to say that after a proper setup, this guitar plays and feels absolutely great. I don't know what Fender/Squire is doing with their QC department. Sure, this isn't a high end guitar, but the price on the CV series is Squire's top end, and should at least come somewhat playable out of the box. I got this brand new in a box, this was not a wall hanger. First off, the guitar was absolutely filthy. Grime all over it. I couldn't believe how dirty this thing was. The fret work was some of the worst I've seen. They were sharp, dirty, and uneven. Like most new guitars, the fretboard was extremely dry. The neck shim was a small piece of sandpaper, which gave zero pitchback. The bridge screws were lose, and would not stay raised. The tuners were covered in dirt/grime. When you try to tune up, the A/D/B tuners feel extremely tight. I wonder if they're full of dirt/filth? The electronics came in extreme poor condition. When I plugged it in, the lead pickups wouldn't work unless I jiggled the mid tone cut back and forth. I had to remove the lead circuit switch cover and clean everything. Shockingly there was dirt covered on the bottom of the switch. The wiring looked extremely poor as well. After cleaning it did work properly. Next string change I plan on checking the rest of the wiring, as I'm sure it needs to be cleaned up. I did not have any issue with the vibrato making noise like a lot of people complain about. The bone nut is nice, but the cut on it is absolutely horrible. Bottom line - For Squire's top end pricing, I feel that this guitar was not worth the price tag. If you don't have the tools to do a proper setup, plan on spending a few hundred to have someone do it. At that price range, you might be better off just spending a few $$$ more and buying a MIM version.

Thanks to Guitar Centers minimum character review I cannot leave a proper review on how horrible this guitar is. They seemed to not post my first review either. This guitar arrived with broken volume and tone pots and terrible grounding. The body is the only thing salvageable!

Tone and Volume pots broken on arrival and just spinning, replaced with full size CTS. Bridge sucks and replaced with a Benzonite. Trem sucks and replaced with Japan fender trem. Tuners suck and replaced with Gotoh locking ovals. Neck playability is a downer. Poor quality guitar!
My favorite guitar for jamming & practicing

Great guitar for jamming at home. The short scale & fret board gives it more of a punk sound, but it's so much lighter than my Gibson that I prefer it for long sessions. Plus, I have skinny fingers, which means the short fretboard doesn't bother me, & I can use my ring finger to reach cords I'd usually have to use my pinky finger to reach. The combination makes it's my favorite guitar to play. It's just a fun guitar with great sound for the price.
