I didn’t expect this Jaguar to sound like this..

- The Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar is an interesting guitar that I've seen a bunch on social media lately (or variants of it... even just jaguar shaped guitars from other manufacturers). Maybe it's just me, but I've never really thought of it as a metal guitar.. But that begs the question, is it? Will it chug? Can I make it squeal?

Thanks for dropping by! Sub for more 🤘
Hey Taylor, want to get rid of this one? I have something you might want to trade. I am wanting another one of these for a Kahler I have.
I like the Jaguar/Jazzmaster shape.
I modified my Squier Affinity Jazzmaster and turned it into a single humbucker metal machine, tuned to drop C, but it has a 25.5 inch scale length, so it can handle drop C pretty well.
Nice! 🤘
Kurt Cobain had a jaguar 🐆 guitar 🎸 and it worked for him in the grunge era
yeah but he put humbuckers in his jag, didn't he?
@@takemebacktothen customized 😎
Nirvana isn’t heavy music
I love the style of Jazzmasters and Jaguars, they are great for rhythm. They can get pretty chunky. Def not something you see everyday. I am so tired of pointy guitars.
Pointy guitars look so tacky lmao
I remember walking into the guitar store and seeing this. It was so beautiful it made me dizzy. Had to have it. Memories man. It is an incredible guitar, low cost aside. I haven't played mine in a while, jack is broken and I haven't had time to fix it but I will
It's a cool guitar! Makes me sad it sits in a case so much.
I've been playing an Affinity Jazzmaster I've been playing metal on completely stock for 5 years. 25.5 scale.
🤘
I had one of these as my main guitar for about 10 years bought it in 2011 when I was at university. Sold it this year as a trade in for a PRS thought it was about time to move on after a decade, but instantly regretted selling it off. Bought a squier Classic Vibe 60s Jazzmaster soon after as a semi-replacement but still looking to buy a Jaguar again I think this is the shape I'm most comfortable with.
This is my favorite body style next to the t shape. So comfortable
I have a Fender blacktop jazzmaster and it's a great guitar for some black metal type riffage lol
They've never gone out of style. Metalheads are just catching up. 💅🏻 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
Sounded rather good in my opinion... except for tuning issues, it is quite cool. Not so much metal looking but it has some bite and a good clarity.
7:43 I like “C” standard tuning 👌
I have the jazzmaster version of this with the same bridge and it stays in tune like an absolute champ. It's not tuned to c standard, though.
THANK YOU. Another Stringjoy user! Those guys are awesome and by far my favorite string brand
🤘
Has humbucker = can do metal.
Excactly
Thanks for your video Taylor. Just bought one from Reverb. Planning to install old japanese gretsch filtertrons in it, but love the shape, color and the vintage vibe it has for little money... cool
Favorite guitar NOT for metal for me. But the body shape is one of my favs so if I could have it in a flat black with black hw with some hot pickups then I'd shred some chuggs on it LOL.
You mean the Jim Root Jazzmaster? That's basically what that is lol.
I enjoyed the demo of this guitar. Nice video man!
Awesome, thank you!
@@TaylorDanley Of course my man. You seem like a cool dude, keep it up!
Good stuff taylor! This is the same stuff i do on my channel! Im a huge jag fan and play death metal/blackmetal/tech death/doom etc.
Im a huge believer that you can pretty much do anything on.. Well.. Anything lol.
Yeah especially when you start getting into consumer mods. 🤘
Is it me or is this guy probably the best metal player on my recomended🤔😀😂
I think those vintage designs definitely have a good aesthetic, but advancements in instrument design have kind of made certain choices or elements of those older designs apparent. The bridge and the tuners, for example. Also, I’d agree that a 24” scale lengths is definitely a bit short for down tuning. 24” in general is short for me, as I have pretty long arms and that pushes things a little too close to ukulele territory for me, and I’m not making a commercial jingle for Target or playing any Hawaiian music anytime soon.
I think if you drop a set of EMG retroactives, and a hipshot bridge n there, it will become a metal machine, and it will still keep that classic vibe with a modern twist
That's pretty neat. I'm not cool so I don't really notice when things trend one way or another. If it feels nice I'd upgrade the bridge nut and tuners if it was worth playing again, if not probably sell it for what seems to be more than what you paid for it. Or hold out and see if they go for more later down the road.
I have a hard time selling things, but it’s still got a pretty cool aesthetic, so I’ll keep it around.
I played a MIJ Jag with a hot rail and cool rail in drop B tuning in to a in to a fender twin with an Avalon 4x12 (so 6x12s) in a Cult of NeurISIS style band for a decade. Heshers would look at my set up and laugh, then we'd play and they'd come talk to me and ask me how I got good tone. Haha! I love offset guitars for metal. I have too many and keep getting them.
Are you putting fast-fret on your fingerboard? I suggest you use lemon-oil product instead and keep the fast fret tube for you strings…
That's what I would normally do, but I didn't have my lemon oil. IMO FF works just as well as lemon oil, it just doesn't smell as nice.
I have the exact same guitar and I love it
Looks good on you man. Good project guitar??
Ok those pickups sounded better than I thought they would actually lol
Most pickups sound the same through high gain rigs. Biggest difference is output
Same!
Great vid man....I love the idea of having a guitar that’s so un Metal....and imo, that makes it more Metal! It’s always good to keep them guessing lol....
Thanks! Agreed.
I've littarly been playing on a left handed Hagström Viking
Also thinking of changing bridge and tuners. Great project
squires are just good.
I think it looks good, sounds good but I'm unsure if it fits the metal slipper..
But that's just me, people shred on tele's and chug on rickenbackers these days so 🤔
😂 good point
Here's my two cents-
I see a lot of people in the comments saying things about the design features and the scale lengths being not the best for "metal." That may be true if you're playing modern metal, djent, thrash, or any of that stuff. But if you think that's all metal is, well, I'd have to ask... how's freshman year of high-school going? (Not a dig against you btw lol, just a joke)
Seriously though, while those features may not be ideal for any sort of modern genres... this kind of guitar is quite practical for more stoney and doomy music. That style of music basically relies on vintage/vintage-minded gear. Tube amps, passive pickups, and of course guitars like that Squier, along with Les Pauls and SGs and stuff like that. I think the problems with tuning stability is probably the cheap, pot-metal bridge and tuners. If you swapped those with proper fender parts, you'd see an improvement in tuning stability for sure.
In short, Jags might not be the perfect guitar for modern metal (without substantial upgrades that is), but I think they're killer for Stoner/Doom/Desert styles of metal.
"Every guitar is good for metal if you're brave enough."
Also I found myself just staring at the TMDness on the shelf behind you and missed 2/3rds of everything you said about the Jaguar before making noise.... 😂
Yeah, there’s a lot of TMD, or now This Heavy Earth pedals on that shelf. Some very cool things in the works with them BTW
@@TaylorDanley I've been following closely. I can't wait to get my hands on that Churchburner and I haven't even heard it yet. The Satanist and 33 live on my pedalboard, I'm sure I will make an excuse for that one to be there as well. Haha
@@DarrenWaters75 I know Shea has some prototypes, or maybe even a production model at this point, so for sure that's coming soon.
I wanted that guitar back in the day when they came out... That guitar just screams to have some 11-52 strings, be tuned to D standard, run a fuzz thru a Marshall and play nothing but Fu Manchu riffs!
"Out run em, I know you can
Put the keys in my hand
Hell on wheels ain't no big deal"
🏎🔥🤘😁🤘
Personally , i own its sibling Squier Jagmaster. cheap 2nd hand.after that, hack this guitar simple electronic, brdge pickup+1 volume. change better bridge. it sound better for me. it chug too! haha
Awesome!
Где найти в продаже данную модель?
I’d buy it for sure
Really dug that black metal riff
🤘
What were you rubbing on your fretboard at the beginning?
In all honesty, I've never played a guitar that I couldn't get to work, for metal.
12 string acoustic, and go!
@@TaylorDanley, that's silly. Lol!
That’s the challenge, make it happen captain!
I've been looking at these so perfect timing! I believe the appeal is for younger gen x and older millennials associating it with kurt cobain, just my two cents!
You're probably right, that's half the reason I bought it!
To be fair.... It worked. And Cobain basically single handedly brought the Jaguar out of Extinction. There were a few others who played it, but Cobain was the only with enough influence to bring back enough interest for fender to put these ahead of their time beasts back into production
@@williamkramer9731 Great point, very true
There is the cobain appeal, sonic youth, j mascis, my bloody valentine, etc. It's basically the shape of the late 80s and early 90s.
I bOught the Jim trot jazz master couple months ago. Holy shit I hated that guitar. Sold it. Great video.
🙌
I've heard a lot of ppl say that about the Jim root guitar
So the stock nut slots were cut wide enough for the bigger gauge strings?
Either they were or I filed them out a little bit originally when I bought the guitar, I don't remember
Now that you asked about missing notifications, this was my first one.
I'm just now seeing this video.
Glad you got it! Welcome back lol
I can tell you what's going on with that guitar in two words...hipster craze.
😂
what string gauge is that
I play 12-52 in C standard
@@TaylorDanley coool is it like a balanced tension set?
@@djanepupi 🤔not really sure, it's a custom set that I order from string joy. Same gauges as the Daddario light jazz set.
@@TaylorDanley cool cool,just asking bc 012s usually have heavier bottom strings
You use your Fast Fret on frets?! Interesting...
Sometimes!
i thought people are going for the baritone ones
Yeah I see those a bit too. Honestly I just think the body style is back… in style. Lol.
That could be pretty cool to do as well... Get a conversion baritone neck \m/. I know David would love that.
“Jag-wire”
How do you think a 24" would play in Drop A, if it had good tuners and a better bridge?
Using Jags for drop A, sounds amazing!!
6:17 WHAT SONG IS THIS?!
Whites of their eyes by my band Sacrificer
😎👍
mastery bridge......check it out....
Thanks for the tip!
that's a jagmaster, not a jaguar
but not really that different
Ziigggg , edan hade

Очень сочно звучит, прям жир🤘🔥👌🌟
It's so u metal to play metal with a fender that it's become more metal to play one than any other manufacturers🤣
