Members Armchair Bronco Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Can someone compare the playability of the Mustang (like the '65 Reissue) to the CP Jaguar Special HH? I have the Jag. It has a 9.5" radius and a width of 42mm at the nut. The '65 Stang has a 7.25" radius and is 41.3mm at the nut. I really like the playability of my modern Jaguar, but I have small hands and am mostly a rhythm playing blues chorder, not a shredder/soloist. The rounder fretboard profile is supposed to be better for chording, right? My other nice guitar is an SG Classic. Love the tone and the looks of the SG, but I *HATE* the neck.

Members sc4589 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 The Jaguar feels less like a toy. The Mustang's a bit diddy. The Jaguar also sounds better in my opinion! SGs are my least favourite guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SGs are my least favourite guitars. I did play a Mustang a few years ago very briefly, and it did seem almost like a toy guitar. The body seemed too small and too lightweight. But I didn't really get a chance to bond with the fretboard. If the fretboard feels right, I can forgive just about anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members poolshark Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 I'm a big guy at 6'3", and I really don't understand the 'toy' sentiment toward Mustangs. They're small and light, which makes them a blast to toss around, and a 65RI would still have my preferred floater bridge as opposed to the adjustomatic stuff on the Classic Player series. Regarding radius, I've never really had a preference. I've played chords on an RG550 and lead runs on a Mustang - they're all just guitars to me.

Members joseflovesyou Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 Personally, I wouldn't like either guitar. But If I had to have one, I'd take the HH jag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sc4589 Posted February 13, 2010 Members Share Posted February 13, 2010 ... don't think so. It's a friend's main guitar and my Tele definitely looks bigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
