I've never had much interest in Jags, but that has some cool features like the modified bridge, wiring and (of course) pickups.  I like it!

Very cool, but not for me with the short scale.  I like it though!

True, I'd forgotten about the short scale, although in a way that has its own appeal.

Which reminds me, I'm still quite keen on the Pawn Shop Mustang Special....

The Jaguar scale is only a bit shorter than a Les Paul, though, so its not that short.  In saying that, I do find myself misfingering notes on the Jag if I have played a Strat or a Tele for a while.

Don't let Afghan see you've used the word "misfingering"...

I did not realize that there were major brand guitars with stock BKPs...quite interresting to see.

There is something about that axe in general that I really like...thought that scale would f me up too much.

I honestly don't want or actually need anymore guitars, but that is pretty sweet, with well thought out upgrades. A players guitar as they say.

There are some great mods on that guitar, especially on the switching. It should be a very practical guitar. I like the short scale, wotks well with heavy strings.

Only thing I don't like is the 7.25" fretboard radius.

Just watched the vid for this guitar. I hadn't realised how much he was involved in the design of the signature model.

Great video - can be found here:

I think I'd like one of these now.
