Fender Jaguar HH Special

[SoundsGreats]

this music looks like a porn movie soundtrack

[MrJosinka47]

...and what about the Mexican quality? Finishing etc...

Kind regards from Josef,Spain.

[MrJosinka47]

Hello Greg, I am "trying" to learn playing guitar (at my age of 65 ).

I am more interrested in jazzy sounds of guitar,but ofcourse with alternative sounds.

I and daubting between the Classic player Jazzmaster and dito Jaguar.

To mymind , the Jazzmaster has more soul in it, warmer and maybe better suited for bossa nova style,but maybe the jaguar does the same.Like I can hear on your videos the Jazzmaster has its OWN typical sound.

Can you give me some advice between the 2 guiitars? Kind regards

[dwelitz]

It would look good as roadworn!

[gabellica32]

@Mabtheist ikr

[photorenta]

beautiful tone. i think im going to save up for one of them bad boys.

[strinzi]

Damn it Killer Tone!!!!

[keo774]

hi greg! is this a usa??? if not, do they also make usa or just mexican?

[Testacabeza]

I would get one of this just because is beautiful.

[cody0126a]

played one today and fell in love. i always thought i like strats until i played this guitar. damn fucking good sound.

[ChiliPeppersAreBoss]

Would this be an ideal guitar for playing artists such as red hot chili peppers, if not what would?

[dudejoe64]

@ChiliPeppersAreBoss john frusiante played a jaguar on his earlier works with them and it would work great. A strat also works very well.

[ChiliPeppersAreBoss]

@dudejoe64 thanks for tthe reply, do you mean latest work? :L cuz i though he sed it on the by the way album but imm not sure, live i think he uses a telecaster but i dont really like the look of them. :)

[dudejoe64]

@ChiliPeppersAreBoss he used a jag on some of the mothers milk songs i think, but his fav is defiantly his strat. a tele will sound a bit twangy to use i think, but he does occasionally use one live.

[Mabtheist]

Why are all guitar demos just bad blues scales? YAWN.

[PBANDSNOW]

@Mabtheist Because thats how blues musicians play guitar. Ever heard of B.B. King playing Viking Melodic Death Metal? No, blues musicians play blues.

[Mabtheist]

@PBANDSNOW Does that mean that every guitar demo I've ever seen is only done by blues musicians? What a bunch of brosts.

[ThePaulLes]

and mustang (fender mustang) :D

[LostRiderIbanez]

it looks like Kurt Kobain signature model with dimarzio humbukers

[PBANDSNOW]

@LostRiderIbanez Thats because Cobain's '66 Jag was customized with humbuckers just like this one.

[Ingobernable]

Great, and teddy bear as sound enginer!

How works this guitar playing funk?

Thanks!

[ylcn77ylcn]

Hi I wish you success

[Zsigmund]

love that tone, thanks

[andredidiergijon]

nazi guitar

[guitarhal96]

@andredidiergijon ...wtf???

[andredidiergijon]

@guitarhal96 its just a joke, dont you get it? HH xD

[TheGuitarbuilder1]

@andredidiergijon

maybe it was funny if it was a SS guitar,,,

[andredidiergijon]

@TheGuitarbuilder1 that would be the same more or less, maybe i could have been funnier that way

[marcesim20]

has the guitar the original humbuckers??.. or these are modified??

[98jsbx98]

Very neat playing, yet somewhat dull.

[KutWrite]

It's probably more him (and the amps/effects) than the guitar.

But... very nicely done!



[margovallen]

Can hardly wait to get my Squier Jagmaster out of the shop.. with a total fret replacement and Seymour Duncan 59-4 conductor's with push/pull splitting capabilities.. haha! Gonna be a rocking momma for sure :-)

[staple765]

Man, you are an awesome player...Do you own most of the guitars you demo? 

Big question...what is your "go to" guitar?

[jackbrazzo]

great playing.

[metachozoite]

cool guitar...but TOOO and I mean WAAAY tomany damn knobs lol

[MixMasterRace]

That mic stand.



[jordidwdw]

and yet not one nirvana riff.................

[tingly7654321]

@jordidwdw well yeah some people like the guitar because of how it sounds and looks not because someone you like played it fucking idiot

[Janicemaxwell]

@tingly7654321 why do you have to talk like that. He was just making a comment. Totally uncalled for. My 8 yr old song was watching this video to see if he wanted me to buy him this particular guitar and read your comment.

thanks

[tingly7654321]

@Janicemaxwell why are you buying an 8 year old a 1000 dollar guitar?

[Janicemaxwell]

@tingly7654321 AH, you see there in lies the problem. He can look and wish all day long. doesn't mean I'm buying him a $1000 dollar guitar but nice way of changing the subject ;)

I think my husband and myself will be buying him a nice Les Paul epi. He's been playing for the last 3 1/2 yrs daily and has out grown his Squier. He's probably better than most of the video's I've seen of grown men playing so a $1000 dollar guitar won't be that far off in his future.

[Janicemaxwell]

@tingly7654321 Oh yeah forgot to add, he doesn't know this guitar is $1000 and franlky neither did I until you mentioned it. Don't think there's anything wrong with him looking at demo's of guitars on Youtube seeing as how they're not usually X-rated. But I'm done with this. thank you and have a nice life.

[tingly7654321]

@Janicemaxwell you know what janice your son will soon find out that its a nigger world out there

[BIgRon2176]

I just read some more on the controls. On the old Jaguar that switch being UP turned on only the bridge pickup. On this newer model it is an ON / OFF switch. If you put it down it cuts everything off. Duh! We were wrong about the switch and how it works.

Big Ron

[gogothegogo]

Great playing as always, Greg. But one remark.

You had the upper horn switch on "rhythm" or "upper" setting, meaning your lower switches were turned off (take a look at Jaguar user manual or tutorial).

So basically, you played through whole video using neck pickup and rolled off tone (because rhythm setting is just that).

You should redo video using lower "lead" setting, because there you can use both pickups.

[BIgRon2176]

@gogothegogo

I don't know if he realized that or not, but lots of guys including me like the neck pickup turned up to a treble setting to play lead on. It doesn't cut quite as much but it has a thicker mid-range (I suppose more jazzy) type tone to it.

Big Ron

[Jazzmaster11]

@gogothegogo

There's no rythm circuit on the Jaguar HH classic player, this is just a killswitch.

[lucasrockertje]

Is it possible to split the pickups?

[fesfefs]

nice chair

[feewert42]

i completely love that guitar, he looks like his making love to the guitar, just as i do, but i would need some enhancement pills to play like that

[spanishnavax]

Jaguar or Jazzmaster??? :S

[CptCippe]

@spanishnavax jaguar

[BStarkings]

I Really want this guitar, however there is one thing holding me back....the tailpiece :/ I've heard so many stories about strings slipping out etc and it's really annoying because it seems that it is the only downside,,,Is this true? Thanks in advance : )

[charly88888888]

@BStarkings I owned a Jag years ago and they had this bridge which was like.. a screw on its side. Hard to explain. That bridge drove me absolutely nuts - play a bit too hard (which wasn't that hard) and the string would shift a notch and go way out of tune. However, as you can see from this vid, they've got a sort of Tune-o-Matic in there now. I haven't played one of the newer ones but I'd imagine they'd be a lot less annoying.

[TechSmack]

@GuitarCrazyStanley ahh

[PH03N1XM4N]

Wow... theres so much more to this guitar than straight up Grunge.... now i like it even more

[HandRpuffin]

Would a seymour duncan trembucker work well in this guitar or would the spacing be off?

[bluesBro18]

i head these guitars arent good for blues and bending, but this proves it wrong

[HandRpuffin]

I believe Kurt used a Mustang, but not 100% sure.

[TechSmack]

@HandRpuffin yeah he did

[KillVision133]

@HandRpuffin His favorite guitars were a Lake Placid 1969 Blue Mustang S/S and a 1962 3 colours sunburst Jaguar H/H.

[HugoNirvana]

I can't find any fender jaguar 65 on the internet x.x

this guitar is good for nirvana songs ? with a lot of destruction and that kind

of stuff our just only for classic player's?

[HugoNirvana]

[carl0414]

[facubarca]

Its Viggo Mortensen!!!!! LOL Look at minute 1:33 LOL LOL

[TheMaersk12]

@facubarca where?

[facubarca]

Love that guitar

[HugoNirvana]

This is kurt cobain guitar ? or is another version ?

where i can find this particular guitar ?

[geektar03]

@HugoNirvana you can find it at musiciansfriend. Kurt Cobain had a 1965 Fender Jaguar.

[D1STANTSUN]

Very, very Steely Dan man. Excellent vibe and sound

[94cona]

@GregsGuitars do you prefer the jaguar with single coils or this one with humbuckers?

[AwesomeSauceLimited]

im getting this guitar!!! :D!

[iraedivine13]

I've read that you could split the humbuckers...is that true? I don't see any possible switching that could do that on that guitar...

[iraedivine13]

@iraedivine13 Ok nevermind what I said, I got it now.

[TheMsinglink]

@iraedivine13 You can split the humbuckers by rolling the two dials above the pickups,it fades from humbucker to single coil & all points in between.

[PBANDSNOW]

Whats ur opinion on it Mr. Greg dude?

[joaod94]

I heard that this guitar has the tail piece closer to the bridge than the older versions. Can you still make that kinda sonic youth sound when you play the strings between the tailpiece and the bridge? And do you know how the controls technically work? Thanks dude, hope you can answer me, great video

[PBANDSNOW]

@joaod94 Im pretty sure you can pull a Thurston on one of these babies

[zeLudoo]

I love your mic stand. :D

[MyHeartBeatsRnR]

would be nice if you'd also some riffs on all these guitars

[surfmatze]

Nice Mic-Bear !!! great - I guess it's a 63 pre-cbs Mic-Bear. Later models had other fur-material. I also prefer the early ones for sound...

[link6161]

what kind of overdrive did you played this with?

[sugarveins]

You play elegantly. How much did Fender cost?

[gyoshoshin]

Teddy the sound man is soooo laid back. Must be the vibes. :-)

[BremenFox]

Hallo Gregor ist das eine Amerikastandard?

[bennettskb555]

Hi Greg

This guitar sounds fabulous, in fact to my ears, better than many of the more expensive guitars you showcase. Did you do anything different on the equipment set up?

PS: All those switch's look great fun, think I may have to get one.

Thanks for the post

[strwy2hvn94]

i've got this guitar. great clean tone.

[embiamemucho]

lovely guitar ... im in love !

[jayers000]

Hi Greg,

Do you sell your guitars through some sort of service...Ebay...etc. Thanks.

[jazzrockblues95]

[samguitarmurphy]
