Members CrystalLake Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 I've wanted something with a bit more bite than my Strat for quite some time w/o just grabbing a Fat Strat, and came across this Pawn Shop Series. Honestly I never heard of these up until 2 weeks ago. Did a lot of research and this guitar was pretty much a 50/50 toss up with the community. First impressions- I've owned a lot of MIM Fenders, and I think this is on par with the Classic/Classic Player series. Nothing really to complain about in the quality control department. The maple Urethane neck is really smooth and comfortable. I've played a few C-shaped necks and have always enjoyed them. The only thing I have to get used to is the positioning of the pickup switching. I've been playing Strats for years, and I kept either hitting the switch, or going towards the knobs to grab it. Overall, it's a sweet guitar. It's extremely comfortable to play (weight and balance), and it really resolves my issue with finding a Strat with some more bite. The Atomic HB through my Blues Junior is exactly what I was looking for. This guitar covers a lot of the bases with it's versatility. Fender did a great job with the Jaguarillo in my opinion.

Members Danhedonia Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 That's really rad. That's new? I know the PS Series, hadn't seen this model (I'm not turned on by pink strats with weird f-holes). That's really nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CrystalLake Posted June 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Not sure if it's one of the newer Pawn Shops or not, but it's the only one I like on a visual standpoint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members triviani Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Happy NGD! The color is sweet. Is it 24" or longer? Kinda looks like a Jaguar-strat mix, but both guitars usually play different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RunJonnyRun Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 Awesome man! HNGD! I literally just had my first go at one of these at GC like 15 minutes ago. They also had a excelsior in. I absolutely loved both. These are pretty awesome guitars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members christianatl Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 What's the street price on those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CrystalLake Posted June 16, 2012 Author Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 8 hundee. I scored mine for about $125 less because there was a 1" crack in the finish where the arm rests. It's so minor, and I don't mind less-than-mint guitars... makes me less worried about babying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yup - that's one of the latest Pawn Shop series models, and I'm really interested in trying one out - they look great IMO. HNGD - it's a beauty! :phil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Yeah, the blue looks less washed out in your picture than in most of the official ones from Fender. Very nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members reverberlayed Posted June 16, 2012 Members Share Posted June 16, 2012 This is high up on my GAS list. HNGD and enjoy it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Reaganomics! Posted June 17, 2012 Members Share Posted June 17, 2012 I got to play one recently and I was definitely impressed with it. It's a good alternative to the classic player Jags if you want less complicated circuitry and more pickup choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
