I am(still) very happy with my CIJ Jaguar HH GBR
Its from all my guitars the best playable one(2 Strats(1 CS) 2 Tele's,1 Comanche)
Quality is good only the Dragster J pickups are a bit soso.This I will fix soon with Split HB's from BG pickups
Now beacuse of this playabilty I bought this to modify
A kind of Jaguar
This how they compare
Beeing critical
Its 900 Euro vs all in all 300 Euro's
Xavier XV-JT90
Very good build quality
unbelievable wood(ASH-->heavy)
Good pickups after resoldering
Action a bit high
Good neck
Medium sustain(expected a bit more from Ash)
Medium quality pickguard
Input jack needed repair
Purely acapela/unplugged the JAG Japan is darker and has longer sustain.Its the best guitar from playabilty point of view(It is better then my CS Strat).
Compared to this the JT is brighter,more pronounced and has less sustain,is a more silent guitar (same like the CS) unplugged.
Played electric I hate to say the Dragster-J pickups are just low average in any setting apart british sounds.
The GFS pickups(no HB's !!) fuller in sound good clean,great cranked,OK distorted.
Just to let you know
Roland
