Advantages: looks amazing, sounds amazing. Disadvantages: hard to find
The Fender Jaguar has to be one of the sexiest guitars on the planet. From the surf sounds of Dick Dale to the screams of Nirvana, the Jaguar has been a staple of cool for decades.
However, this cool came with a price - the bridge is such that the strings didnt have a rut to sit in causing them to slip. Another Jaguar trait was the string buzz.
People put up with these minor issues as the wow factor of actually owning one of these beauties certainly ... ...direct from Tokyo a Fender Jaguar Made in Japan Special Edition. What makes this guitar so much better than the standard reissues?
Well , for a start a new tune-o-matic bridge has been fitted and the strings now fit perfectly in the saddle and simply do not slip anymore.
The special edition doesn't have a trem arm, but it is something i can easily live without.
Perhaps the most important new feature though is the removal of the single coil pickups ...

... ...supplied with the Bass were pretty low quality and lacked a roundness in sound. I know you can get the odd set that is not right and I'm putting it down to this. But once changed the axe played fine.
I would recommend this guitar to anyone and for the £650 I paid its a hell of a lot of wood for your money.. ...
