When I was a kid in the 60s the Jaguar was my dream guitar but we couldn't afford one. My friend had one and I was so jealous. A few years ago I bought a new red Squire VM Jaguar, replaced the bridge with the Mustang one, and for the money it's amazing and gorgeousl. At this time in my life I couldn't justify the cost of a Fender one. The Squire is pretty darm close, and I only paid $299. Thanks for showcasing the Jag.

Johnny Marr never played a Jaguar during the Smith. It came much later, with modest mouse. It´s a funny myth, when everybody grabs a JM Signature they play some smith-tunes, which where often done by a Gibson Les Paul, ES 335 or a Rickenbacker.

A few years back circa 2016 I worked a job around Southern Pines where I found Casino guitars. Every day off for the two months I was there I'd pop round and pick a guitar off the wall and jam around on them. Baxter, ever so inviting, encouraged me to try whatever guitar I wanted. Even the $4000 Strats - "especially the $4000 Strat". Eventually I circled around a semi-hollow Gretsch and a Jaguar. The Jaguar won the day due to it's versatility and how bloody cool it looks. And Bax gave me a nice discount. I've been all over now but the Jag remains with me, as versatile as ever. I hope one day I'll get the time to swing back round Casino. Much love.

Sunny day in the park on the monkey bars with my dog Poco and Sony box, (circa '78) a Mayflower Movingman asked me to help with a couch. As we moved it, a guitar case was stored. "I gotta check this out", I thought, and a '67 Sunburst Jaguar was revealed. Brought my '67 Princeton over and left after the nice couple sold it to me for a about a Benjamin.....Got me through a few gigs, the action like butter with 10s. As a lead player, I still like the "rhythm" controls, tone up through a Marshall with natural dirt. Still have guitar and amp. Enjoyed the vid and thanks for letting me share 🎸

Excellent point about the unique attack on a Jag. It’s difficult to describe, but that constant loop of tactile feedback between the player, the Jag, and the amp is part of what makes it special. As you said when talking about the scale, it just inspires you to play differently. Leo’s greatest design, in my book. The JM was obviously a huge step forward, but to me the Jag was Leo taking that idea and perfecting it.

I work at Gibson Custom and even I love the very unique sound of this guitar, and of course Baxters playing. Great video.

This was a great direction for showcasing guitars. Loved it

Baxter and Jonathan are the guitar player uncles I never had. Nice reveiw as usual!

Love Jags! The most underrated and maybe the most graceful body design of Leo’s because even though it is offset it is beautifully proportioned. And of course the sounds! With a good drippy spring reverb there is an a great scooped atmospheric shimmer that makes for a great lead tone to cut through a mix. Highly recommend.

Oh man that neck pickup! And the bridge pickup! And the middle pickup!😂 For those who are Fender fan boys (like me) but haven’t had you’re hands on a Jaguar, it really is something. As the presenter said, in your hands the feel when you hear those pickups... wow! And a far better tremolo than a strat. Love the Jag!

Just bought the 60th anniversary jaguar..I absolutely love it

Nice video Baxter! I tried a early 60’s Jag and great vibe! Best one I’ve tried! No offsets in squad so no brainer BUT spending that much $$ I thought ‘ what if something I really want pops up and all $$ spent on Jag?’ Decided to hold off and see and that night found a 14 Rich Robinson Es in next state when you couldn’t even find on Reverb or for sale often. 5 yr search OVER! Ironically, that Jag still available 2 yrs later but a USA White Falcon now competing lol! It NEVER ends!!!! Cheers!! Love your content and discussions off topic!!!

I've always been a Strat man! But I've always loved the Jag! I only played one once in my life and had the wonderful opportunity of owning my childhood guitar hero's signature Jag, Johnny Marr. It's not exactly the same as a Jag due to JM's redesign, but it's by far the best feeling and sounding guitar I've ever owned, especially with the custom wound Bareknuckle Johnny Marr pickups... It is absolutely stellar! Thank you for the killer vid.

Oh, Baxter...I love watching and listening to you play. And yes, I do need a Jaguar. Pink w/tortoise pick guard.

. I have a Johnny Marr Jaguar and it does influence the way I play over a Strat. Different but different in a good way. Great video as always, Casino guys!

Love the sound and scale!

Nice licks Baxter, perfect for that new old Jag!!

Although I miss Jonathan in these, these are super well-done videos production wise and the way Baxter speaks about guitars I could listen to for almost as long as I could his playing, which I love. I seem to remember Baxter saying something about playing in one of those CBGBs type bands back in the day (Richard Hell maybe?) so I can totally see him on stage with one of these. The Marr sig Jaguar is my bucket list guitar for sure, Jaguars just look cooler than any other guitar out there.

Predominantly a bass player here, but a friend had a Squier CV 70's surf green jaguar in pretty much new condition that he wasn't playing so he sold it to me for cheap. I took a couple of lessons from a guy who played in a surf band and I was hooked. I'm not good enough to warrant investing in a Fender, but I'm happy to be learning on my Squier.
