Members Fenderman1991 Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm gassing bad for a Fender off set, a Mustang, Jaguar, or Cyclone. But they're a bit expensive, and eBay yields nothing fab, so doesn anyone know of any copies? I've seen the Stagg M350, but its' basically a strat with an offset shape. Anyone played one? Or know any other brands? Thasnks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Liberty Belle Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 i have a 1966 mustang, 05 jaguar and a ?? jagmaster. the jagmaster is ok for a cheap guitar but it dont compare to either of the others,no where {censored}ing near it. it is made in china so go figure. you CAN get excellent jagmasters,the vista series ones are equal to fenders quality.look for one off those.

Members Turd Furgison Posted March 4, 2008 Members Share Posted March 4, 2008 +1 for the jagmaster (mic or mij) and double plus good for any of the vista line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members MuffFuzz Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 What about the HH Jaguar with dragster Humbuckers? I think those are fairly cheap as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it depends on what you call cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty Belle Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 i reckon squier has gotten so {censored}ing crap these days,they used to be good but now they seem real cheap. the workmanship is fine but the materials are too cheap imo.

Members Loobster Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 What's playing a Jag like? Is the short scale length dramatically different to play than a standard 25.5" Fender? Believe it or not the Jaguar is the only Fender I've never played... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not the Jaguar is the only Fender I've never played... I like it, but I know people that don't.....it isn't a massive difference to me, but I guess if you had big hands you might notice it more. past the 12th fret I think it feels a little more cramped, but I'm not one for noodling up there anyway!!

Members homestar_kevin Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 Squier also had the cyclone in production for awhile for like 230 new. If you can find one, they can be had quite cheap edit: it wasn't vista or anything, it was like 04 ish there's one http://cgi.ebay.com/Fender-Cyclone-guitar_W0QQitemZ260216600756QQihZ016QQcategoryZ33039QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fenderman1991 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 Yeah I know of the HH Jag and the Squier Jag. I've heard bad things about the HH Jag, and the Squier...maybe... I'm not one for HH when it comes down to it... The HH Jag only comes in black too, iirc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members hangwire Posted March 5, 2008 Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 actually, just looked at jagmaster on wikipedia... there were 3 lines... vista which was 24", 2002 ish which was 25.5", and current jagmaster II which is 24" again... for me... i would only want a 2002 era 25.5 one :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Fenderman1991 Posted March 5, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 5, 2008 But is the jagmaster any good?? I mean, being a Squier I have some doubts. I'd never count it out because of that, but if it doesn't match up, I don't want to spend the money. I'm talking with pup replacement/customization, can it be a great guitar?
