The Jaguar has a 24" scale, which isn't to everyone's tastes but I barely noticed a huge difference when I had my mustang. The lower scale length also makes the strings flappier, so a higher gauge of string is usually used (i.e. 11s on a shortscale feel like 10s on a Gibson for example). Can also darken the sound a little, especially if you use the rhythm switch.
I like jaguars, but if it was my choice I'd go for a jazzmaster. Go try them out!
