Its a cool looking guitar. I can't get used to its sound though.. maybe I just too lazy to twiddle with the knobs and buttons.. :twisted:

Re: jag
White Jag? You mean a white Strat? *lol* My Jag is sunburst.
Hmmm...I guess that's him! You've seen him before? For our band, in terms of jamming, we play quite a variety of stuff...from chinese retro to rock to pop to cheesy to Japanese, etc...but our focus now is more on mandarin alt-rock/pop original at the moment.

Someone summoned me? :mrgreen: *lol*
PatheinRaindropMoe Bro...the baritone Jag's damn cool and I'd surely check one out if they'd ever come out with a lefty version
Anyway, Snottysnot, congrats on being a new Jag owner! The CIJ Jags are just as lovely once you get past the potential issues with the unpotted Japanese pickups. They do sound different from the U.S ones (a little more shrill and microphonic) but you can either wax-pot them or get replacement pickups from Fender/Seymour Duncan/boutique pickup makers.
With regards to more information about setting up of the Jag, you can check out this post in soft: http://soft.com.sg/forum/gear-guitar/53873-help-needed-cij-jaguar.html
I have attached some useful links in the above thread where you can get tonnes of Jaguar information You can also do a search on soft using the keyword: Jaguar. You might also find other useful info here.
Have fun with exploring your new guitar and feel free to post more if you'd need more help (tho can't guarantee I'll be able to answer all lah...but I'm sure there are tonnes of more experienced Jag owners here ^^)

hey Elias..
i've already did a search before posting at this thread.. hehe and yeah, ur post about the jaguar was really helpful.. I've already got a mustang bridge otw shipped from guitarpartsresource.com.Ur right about the bridge pups.. it will kindda squeal and give some feedback when playing in high gain. Am now thinking of ordering a seymour duncan quarter pounder for the brigde after reading good reviews about it in the jag-stang.com forum. Or do u know of any shops here in singapore that sells that pickup? And where can i go, to get them replaced and fixed with the quarter pounds? any recommendations? since not many techs are knowledgeable about them jaguars, i sposed?
I'm gonna leave the neck pickups with the stock one for now, as i'm loving the sound of it. the clean tone is so beautiful.
thanks again, and will wait for ur reply.

jaguars are electric guitars.
pickups are electronics.
any guitar tech with enough self respect will be able to just do a pickup swap.
Quarter pounders are pretty hot and loud. I'd suggest to change the pair rather than just one. Davis may be able to order for you else, the internet is always available 24/7.
You can also choose to use regular single coils and not be limited to Jaguar pickups. They all fit and works.

Hey Snottysnot, I'd agree with edder's reply. Pickup swaps shouldn't be much of a problem for guitar techs here. If you'd really wanna make sure, then you can print out the schematics provided by the pickup manufacturer and pass to them as a guide or something. Even though Jaguars have a tad more complicating controls, I think most (if not, all) the techs are able to just trace using the existing pickup wires and do a direct swap/solder
For your info, I ordered my U.S Fender reissue pickups from guitarpartsresources and have installed them in both my Jags. I still have a pair of spare Seymour Duncan vintage jag pickups tho.
To add to edder's point on the higher output of quarter pounders, since it's a considerably hotter output pickup, there may be some volume differences if you only change the bridge pickup, do consider that cos you wouldn't want a major drop/rise in volume or something when you switch pickups during a song or something.
If you're also considering other single coil pickups other than the ones designated for Jaguars, you may not be able to fit the metal claw around the pickups...just so you know ^_~ (tho the claw's not a necessary component).
