Fender Jag-Stang

1996, Japan original version
22 frets
its just a normal Jag-Stang,I think laminated its glossy..., 2 black knobs. no idea.. they are just good pickups, active I think.Basswood body.. Its a Fiesta red body. Tune o matic bridge Ive heard. but has a dynamic vibrato system, Gotoh tuners. Thin dark brown neck, great neck! Nothing included I bought a 70.00 hard case for it and they have me free new strings.

The guitar sounds really "radical". When they say this thing can pack a punch they mean it. Its definately a grunge/punk guitar.. You play it without an amp and it still sounds good, but when you put it onto an amp it plays with this tone that has the bass already in it. Nothing needed for this guitar... Rich sound, alot of variety yes.. Kurt did an amazing job at designing this guitar, as genius he was! I like it so much, but the reason I like it alot is because I went from playing an Affinity Squier strat and it made the humming sound, this one doesn't. I got it in top condition used so...

I did not get it new, so I have no idea... But I got it in top condition as I said and it had a few dings but not very noticible.. I got it and the action had to be raised or something. because the Low E string kept hitting against the pickups when I tryed playing Nirvana's "School". But Guitar Center gladly fixed it, so its fine..

I think it will, I think this guitar is great and has the "Fender quality" with it.. I trust it.. The strap buttons are fine, one was loose but its fine now they fixed it.

I get a 30 day guarantee, but I work with some guitar shops in my area and they will probably fix her if needed.. It is fine.. Guitar Center was extremely helpful and nice, they always are. And the place I get lessons, a national known shop are the same way.

The first guitar instrument I got was a Kingston white cream colored small bass, its a piece of junk. I then got a Squier Affinity,which for being a Fender Squier is a great guitar in some ways, but in others its just "ok". I then got a Squier P bass which is an excellent piece of equipment.. Then yesterday I got this Jag-Stang. I used to play bass for a band then recently changed to playing lead-guitar. I got a Fender Princeton amp last Friday but its on layaway now.. I wish that I could fine Courtney Love's signature Venus guitar, I chose this one because I liked the weird body it has, and that one of the greatest guitarists designed it, (kurt cobain), I knew he would not make a piece of junk so, and if it got stolen I would try to get another one but these originals are hard to come by. Im going to get my name engraved in the chrome plate in the back.

i have a 95 jag-stang, the first year it was mass produced. when i got this guitar i thought it sounded pretty good, of course i was 16 at the time. it looks really cool, but thats about it.

the original pickups that came with it, were weak as all hell. the single coil in the neck position sounded like a pile of dog poo. and the humbucker they threw in it was a cheap piece of crap.

when i got the guitar it buzzed like crazy. the neck didnt really feel that bad, but the set up was just bad all together.

after a few months of serious playing, some of the knobs began to go, and if you would touch the volume knob at all, it would crackel and kill the guitar completely. no sound came out. horrable durability.

never dealt with fender

this would be a great guitar had fender left it the way kurt cobain designed it, they stuck cheap pickups in it when they mass produced it, and used really cheap pots and it seems like left over bridges and necks on the guitars. I personally gave the guitar a make over and replaced the pickups with a p-90 and a vintage strat pickup, and bought a new pickguard and routed the body so the pickups were straight. gave it a new tune-o-matic bridge, and replaced the neck with a hagstrom neck. so nothing is original anymore. I now LOVE this guitar after all the modifications i've done to it. if you want to sink some money into it, you'll have a great axe, otherwise dont bother with this. the original model kurdt cobain designed was much different.

I bought this online for around $380 with a case and strap. Its a 1997 american stang and it rules. Truely one of the best guitars i have ever played. A long and beautifully thin neck easy for playing fast. Not as good as it could be, but still very good.

This works better with an amp. It suits my style well, Rock and metal. The sound is full and very rich. I don''t really like the soft sounds it makes but that is easily fixed by changing the switches. The sounds is not very varied and can pretty much only make one type of music.

When i first got the guitar the controls were very secure but after a few months of playing it, they started to come loose which sucked

Yep this guitar can do live performances. I play with my band almost every month for 2 years and the guitar has still held up. Some drunk dude tried to steal it form me on stage but thats not the guitars fault. I always take backups to gigs but am not sure if i need it as the guitar has on;y failed me once.

Nope never dealt with the company. I don't really know who i bought it from!

I ahve ben playing for 6 years.I own an Acostic guitar.

Bought in 1997, made in Japan. 22 Frets. Basswood body, Maple neck, Rosewood fretboard. Volume, tone, and a three-way selector for both pickups. Single coil at the neck and a humbucker at the bridge. Body is (obviously) a cross between a Jaguar and a Mustang, though it looks more like a Mustang than it does a Jaguar. Dynamic Vibrato bridge. Vintage tuners. Thin neck.

I mostly play indie-rock in the vein of Braid/Hey Mercedes, some hardcore and a little metal. I'm playing this out of a Peavey 100 head, with a couple pedals (Delay, Tremolo, Phaser).

I love this guitar...I have had it for years, and it's my (severely beaten) baby. It's mostly capable of warm, mid-range and bassy tones. Since the humbucker is at the bridge, the treble doesn't have too much bite to it, but it's nice. It sounds perfect for what I play. It's not noisy at all.

Well, it wasn't very well set up when I got it, I had to adjust both the action (I like my action high) and the pickups, but it was nothing too bothersom. Some of the bridge hardware is rusting a bit, but again, I've had this for quite a while, and the B string tuner is getting a bit loose.

Well, I'm in a band that plays out very frequently, and I've been using this guitar without a backup for all four and a half years that we've been together. I'm not gentle with this guitar at all, it has more than it's fair share of gashed, dings, and dents, but this thing has held up like a rock. I throw this thing around, it's been jumped on, stomped on, kicked, and overall just beaten, and it's been holding up great. I've had straplocks on this thing for years, so I don't even really remember how solid or good the original buttons were. The one flaw this guitar has, is the selectors are right in the way of your strumming (if you play fairly aggressively) and the bridge selector has broken once, and was replaced, but unless you duct tape it, the bridge selector turns all sound off when it's in the center position...which is frustrating, but easily remedied.

Had the bridge tone selector repaired once, but it wasn't under warranty, and I didn't get it done through the company, so I can't really give an opinion.

I've been playing for nine years, and I own several other guitars, and this one is my favorite. If it were lost or stolen, I would most definitely buy another. The neck is nice and thin, and very fast, and it gets beautiful warm tones. The one flaw, like I said is the placement of the pickup tone selectors. For the price, this thing is more than worth it. I highly recommend this guitar...

2 awsome pickups , both great sounding , the dimarzio h-3 humbucker is designed for distortion , does alright on clean channel , the vintage strat pickup is not designed for heavy distortion - best used on clean channel , overall both pickups are great , the neck plays great and fast , the fret spacing is perfect , the tuners are awsome and everything else about the guitar is great ( including the bridge ) , i own a fender sonic blue jag-stang 2003 reissue guitar .

the sound is perfect .

the neck plays great and very fast .

the guitar can do anything you want it to , take it to the limit !!!!

i've sent a s*** load of e-mails to fender , great service .

IT F***ING rules !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You know the features, the bridge is poor, the floating trem is terrible for tuning stability, the switches are in the wrong place. no cutaways on the small body. The pickups are really weak and have too much treble. The finish is poor but does that matter? the one i own is a 50th anniversary fender jagstang

i play hard hair rock and the pickups on this guitar are terrible. Quiet and too much treble. Just stock this guitar sucks.

The set up was non existent. the slanted pickups dont help the guitars sound at all.

This guitar plays like a toy.

The neck is nice and small, I dont have large hands but even I prefer playing Les Pauls and Telecasters to this guitar. I thought this guitar was good when i first bought it when i was 15, but my friend bought a Yamaha pacifica for half the price and that guitar is better than this one!

It plays like a replica of a guitar.

Minha Jag-Stang e uma 2003 Japonesa ... cor Red Fiesta
adorei o kurt juntou as duas melhores guitarras dos anos 60 e 80
pegou o melhor delas e voalah os controles a madera tudo 100% n?o tive nehum problema ate agora a guitarra veio num case muito bonito uso um Marchal e pedaleira ZooM 707 II so senti a falta de pegada
no Estilo jazz ... mas que dera essa e uma guitarra grunge n?o de jazz

Sem chiados , Sons Ricos e Bem incoparpados e com muita Variedade
adorei a variedade que ela oferece

O acabamento esta medio deveria ter mais cores , a guitarra veio perfeita

ate agora n?o presisei arrumar nada esta otima

n?o presisei utilisar a garantia

Garantido e uma exelente compra .... se N?o intendeu o que falei use o google.com

Great Features....I mean come'on....Mustang switches with a humbucker instead of the twangy sounding Startocaster single coils...Yeah you cant beat that...Have to switch in a Duncan JB though...thats the way to go...YEHA....

Great for all alternative music...Of course NIrvana...but what do you expect from a guitar designed and inspired by the greatest grunge legend fo all time...Kurt Cobain...Incredable...Ive even managed to pull off some SLIPKNOT with this guitar...Amazing...My band does original songs as well as some covers of Nirvana...like "About a Girl", "Rape ME", "Aneurism", "IN Bloom", "Radio Freindly unit Shifter", "Territorial Pissings (true punk) and the occasional-feared-overplayed-disgrace-to-nirvana-bad-rep-to-nirvana-poster-boy-for-screaming-and-such "Smells Like Teen Spirit"...OH WELL WHATEVER NEVERMIND......

Actions tight...Only problem the low E buzz which is easily fixable....

THis thing holds up like an OX...I mean you could throw it into the drumset at a show and itd hold up..If its made by Mr. Cobain i think its made to handle a lot of stressful situations that involved being thrown and or played extremely hard.. I think the latter is a little better explanation consider Kurt would never smash a mustang, jaguar, or jag-stang...only cheap-ass stratocasters...then theyd put a new cheapy neck on it and do it again the next night...waht a way to save money...he knows where its at...

couldnt tell you....All i know is that DANNY doesnt know crap about Cobain.. I mean "havent seen a picture of Cobain with one"?!?!?@?@#? Open your eyes....type "Kurt Cobain Jag Stang pictures" into a search engine and i think it will come up...well better yet, because im not sure you can type....jsut copy and paste what i jsut typed....whatever...i cant believe this...yeah he doesnt know crap about Kurt Cobain...its called he used tehm on his last tour....

THis thing is amazing...throw a JB in the bridge and a Hot Rails in the neck and you have one mean guitar...Better yet get it in Sonic Blue and purcahse a red pickguard for it...then flip the vibrato bridge around and bolt that down so it doesnt move...then buy a Stew-Mac tune-o-matic bridge for it...yeah im in heaven right now..tahts hte way to go on this thing...Perfect score...cant get better...oh wait a jaguar...heavily modified..but yeah tahts two tiems teh price and half the good looks of this badboy.....Hells yeah...KC for life...

The jagstang has no great features to speak of. It was not a very well thought out or designed guitar. If a real guitar of this type is wanted a person should consider a Jaguar

There are no tonal qualities to this guitar, as far as sound goes all I can say is crap crap crap

The factory setup on these suck as do any new guitar you get from fender, when it comes to setups fender wouldn't know a good setup job if it hit them in the face!!! From what I can tell the finish on these really suck, I guess Fender was using the left over shit from there other guitars to finish these

This guitar has as much chance withstanding a night of been gigged with as a dog without any legs has running

Fender used to be really great to deal with, but anymore it seems they are to busy raping the working musician with there high prices and inferior products. I have a 1964 Jaguar that has never once given me an ounce of trouble, but it seems that every new Fender I have ever bought has always managed to fall on its face and Fender is too busy pumping the neighbors dog to do any thing to help. I will never buy a post Leo Fender product again as long as I live

I have been playing for 12 years and have been a professional musician for 4 years, I have a 1964 jaguar as mentioned above, a 1961 strat, 1951 tele, 1958 Les paul standard, 2003 ovation celebrity, 1996 Gibson J-185 custom shop, 1941 d-45 martin, and of course the jagstang (the worst guitar in my collection) If this guitar was stolen and I found the person who stole it I probably would laugh at them because all they would doing is me a favor. the only thing this guitar is good for is a great piece fire wood, but knowing this guitar it would probably mess that up to. The only reason I still have this guitar is the fact that all of the muscians I know are professonals and would rather be caught playing plastic Mickey Mouse guitar than this one. So basically what I am saying is I can't find anyone dumb enough to buy this turd. Also as far as the guitar goes Kurt Cobain must have been on some really powerful mind altering drugs to think up something as hideous as this. Why I bought it I will never know, maybe I had some of those same drugs Kurt was using when i bought It. BUYERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!

i got my jagstang off of ebay. its a 96 fiesta red with stock single coil and humbucker pickups. for the pickups theres 2 phasing switches for on, off, and phased. it has a nice slim neck and the frets arent too close together, but not too spaced out either.

nirvana has always been my favorite band, so, being designed by cobain himself, it sounded awesome. on my settings, it sounds nice and twangy. i usually have the single coil on, and the humbucker phased out, and the resulting sound is like the opening notes to "Heart Shaped Box" by Nirvana. Its also awesome for Chili Peppers stuff, too. however, if a bunch of noise and feedback isnt your thing, you might want to turn off the single coil.

when i got it, there was some low E buzz, but i fixed it by raising the bridge a tad, and everything else was perfect. the neck was really easy to play, too

ive only had this guitar for a few months, but so far its hung in there. the pickguard prevents any scratches to the body, so the finish isnt hurt. i replaced the strap buttons with dunlop strap locks, so the strap isnt going anywhere. as you may know, kurt cobain, the guitars designer, beat the hell out of his guitars live, so i trust he wouldnt make a flimsy guitar

havent used any customer support

before i played this, i had a gibson les paul, which is beautiful , but for 2000 dollars less i found a guitar with the perfect sound for me.
