I like your style, I spent all my money plus a loan from someone else to get a good guitar way before a crap car, it was the guitar or the car - no contest the guitar won - anyhow all the crap cars have broke, the guitar's still going.

Cars lose value as soon as they leave the forecourt, a vintage guitar will only gain value.

When i buy a car i look for something cheap and reliable, it is purely to get from A to B and i have no interest in them at all to be honest.

In my experience, vans are better & more reliable, Iv'e got a small van that lugs our PA & my gear around, I just abuse it, never clean it, it just gets me to work, from A to B & does 45 - 50 to the gallon.

On the other hand I have a lot of guitars that I cherish & clean & service a lot, I become attached & find it hard to get rid of them, my other half does not understand - she say's I can't play all of them at once, so theres no point !

What are the re-issue jazzies & jags like ? I love the look of the Jazzmasters with the matching headstocks.

I have no interest in cars either, except one, my grandma has it sittin in her yard, it's from the 50's - one of those spaceship lookin' cars, I'd love to have that thing put back together.

45-50 a gallon?? A van, are you sure?

I'd just pitch in on like a minibus to go on a tour with. I dunno about the re-issue Jazzies n Jags, of course they're not as good as the original, but something I'd like to know myself.

JAZZMASTER, FTW. 😁

I'm sure, I am talking miles to the gallon of diesel in the UK, diesel is quite expensive here, its a small van, a Peugeot Partner 800 kg payload, we only have a small PA - an HK Actor 1600 watt & my marshall TSL 122 & 2 X12 cab + guitars,effects, bags & stands.

It would struggle to do that mileage loaded !!!!

SmutVendetta

Ah diesel yeah, forgot you were over in the UK. Yeah, sounds like a tight fit.

Gotta love those Start o casters.

um.. Mine would be a Jazzmaster

Jag-stangs are ok. They sound some what decent but the body is so #### tweaked. I think it looks dumb. My favorite fender is a mustang but thats just because of the look. If I had to choose from sound it would have to be some along the line of a tele, strat, or a jazzmaster.

Another Tool said: I went for the mustang. I like the slim neck, but i don't really dig the 24" scale or the basswood they used in the jap reissues. If they had a 25" or 25.5" mustang i'd snap that bitch right up.

get a warmoth neck, supposedly itll go right in without any mods to the guitar

nietz

Fender Mustang FO SHO.

I haven't tried too many of Fender guitars, but out of the ones that I did play I'd split my vote between telecaster and a mustang. Telecaster is some really nice looking and sounding design, very original, and a mustang is a really small, lightweight, and fast guitar with a unique sound, and also it looks like a strat that went through a black hole 😀 I havent tried Jaguars or Jazzmasters, I just cant afford them, but a Squier Jagmaster felt pretty nice. Strat is cool too, but I dont like the feel of it, plus come on, everyone plays them 😁 As for the jag-stang, even though I dig Nirvana, I think js is plain ugly. Oh, and I would really love to get my hands on a Squier Cyclone to do some interesting mods, perhaps, put a floyd rose in it.

PS Les Pauls RULE 😉

keep your blasphemy to yourself.

ironic how on jag-stang.com, the jag-stang has one vote... but jag, definitely

jaguar hands down

I love most Fenders but I voted for Jazzmaster. I just love the sound you get out of them especially since a lot of my favorite bands use them. Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr, Sonic Youth, and The Distillers. Especially moded with the Quater Pounders for that extra kick. I wouldn't mod a vintage one of course but if I could get my hands on a japan model or reissue I would.

One a side note the Squire Jagmaster is probably my favorite starter guitar that I've played. I mean I used to think all guitars under $300 sucked until I played one of those, very nice for the price.

tragictravisty

ill second that on the jagmaster

grunge-fan

is there a huge difference between the jag HH, and a a regular jag, because a lot of you guys picked the jaguar, and as far as the HH its just not thatt impressive.
