Members 6down1togo Posted February 20, 2013 Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have not owned a Fender offset and thought I might try one (or two?)GC has a nice used Classic Player Jaguar. I liked it well enough to consider buying it.With discounting, MF will sell me a new Squier VM Jaguar and a Jazzmaster plus 2 hard cases for the same money. GC had no Squier VM's and only a P90 Squier Modern Player Jazzmaster to try out so I cannot really compare the Jaguars. The Modern Player had 10's (9's maybe) and the CP had some really heavy strings (at least 12's) so they felt completely different.Can I assume the CP is 2x the guitar or should I try the Squiers out? Anyone out there played a VM Jaguar? How does it compare with the Fender Classic Player Jaguar? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Verne Andru Posted February 20, 2013 Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 Two things set the Jaguar classic player apart from ALL others - 1] the tremolo is mounted closer to the bridge providing more/better string break-angle and 2] better/hotter pickups. If neither of those matter to you then the Squier is one hell of a guitar for $299 NIB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members kayd_mon Posted February 20, 2013 Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 I have the CP Jazzmaster, and it's a great guitar. I'd go for the CP Jaguar over two lesser guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slvrsrpnt Posted February 20, 2013 Members Share Posted February 20, 2013 I think the vintage squier jazzmaster in blonde with the maple board is just amazing looking. If I were hunting for more guitars, I'd grab one of those! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PurpleTrails Posted February 21, 2013 Members Share Posted February 21, 2013 Try out a J. Mascis Squier Jazzmaster. Pretty sweet for I think $399 new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
