Fender American Professional Jaguar Maple Fingerboard Electric Guitar Sonic Gray

Love this guitar. Always wanted a Jag. Great tone. Fun to play. And I know it just a color but I love the antique olive. Awesome guitar. Only con was the e string broke after just a few days playing, kind of a bummer. I like the tone of an 11-50 set better than the 10s that came on it so I Ordered a new set.

I bought this guitar along with an American Vintage Series '65 Jaguar so that I could play them side by side and compare them. The Vintage is the superior instrument, but at a thousand dollars more it should be. That's taking nothing away from the AmPro, though. It is a finely built American Fender! The 9.5" fretboard radius and the truss rod adjustment at the headstock are nice modern features that the Vintage does not have, and the treble-bleed circuit is a real plus, also. My only complaint is the new circuitry. Gone are the two, independently controlled rhythm and lead circuits of earlier Jaguars. Fender calls the change "streamlining," but I call it limiting. A wider range of tonal possibilities was possible with the original design. While it is true that the phase selector switch and the series/parallel selector switch give you some sounds that the original design does not, I found those tones undesirable anyway, so in my opinion they were not advantages. This new Jag does make some sweet sounds, though, just not as many.
