Technically yesterday, but whatever. Fender American Original 60's Jaguar in Surf Green! I picked it up used off Reverb. Came equipped with a Mastery Bridge. In great shape except for one chip on the very bottom of the body.
I had a TVL Jazzmaster and decided to move on from it. Funny enough, the Jazzmaster sold within an hour of this one coming through the door yesterday!
This is my first Jaguar and I'd never played one before. It's very interesting! Totally unique. The tone is completely unlike the Jazzmaster. I'd have to say it's actually more versatile than a JM. There's a HUGE array of tones available and pretty much every setting is usable in some way. The tone is bright, articulate, and punchy! Glassy jangle. The neck is very thick but very much similar to other AO60's guitars if you've played them.
I'm on the fence whether to try dropping the stock bridge back in. Internet opinion on the Mastery seems to range from mandatory mod to totally unnecessary and alters the tone. So.... I dunno?
