Should I get one?

theunknown22

Hey guys. Couple questions. I have a Mustang 65 RI that I modded to get how I wanted it. I like the guitar and I'm happy I got it. Eventually though I want to get another guitar. I was looking into vintage Mustangs and than thought maybe the Jag-Stang would be more my style as the Mustang I got is modded anyways. Of course if I got an old Mustang I don't know if I could put myself to modding it. So now to my questions. How are the pickups in the Jag-Stang? I have Lace Sensor in my Mustang 65 RI and they are a lot quieter than the stock pick ups. So my guess in the Jag-Stang would be that the single coil may hum a little but the humbucker should be pretty silent? Also I would like to know how the basswood compares to the alder body? I played one a long time ago but I think it may have been alder not sure, it defiantly felt like it.

TL;DR

How are the pick ups in the Jag-Stang?

What is the differnce between the alder and the basswood?

Alder is better than basewood but i don't really have a problem with it. Maybe the sustain suffers a tad but i for one can live with that.

As for the pick ups, the neck single coil is a strat '59 i believe and is ok i guess dependind on what you want out of it of course but the humbucker is bobar.

The neck is fantastic though, you have a mustang so you know this already, and the guitar itself is very modable.

A Jag-stang is a bit heavier then a Mustang imo. But the body feels really comfortable when sitting down with it.

The neck pickup is quiet good, can't say that for the (Santa Ana) humbucker. Altough some people swear they like the stock humbucker, so it's just a matter of opinion. 😉

The neck feels great and even a bit better then my CIJ Mustang, it's truly one of best necks ever made if i say so myself........ 😀

Good luck with it. 😉

I really enjoy mine. I would see if you can find someone locally who has one or find one used in a guitar shop so you can play it to try it out. You never know on a guitar until you try it. It is very easy to mod since it has switches already. I modded mine a lot. I personally think it is a really fun guitar with a neat look. Like others have said, the neck is nice. It is supposed to be a copy of Kurt's favorite neck.
