Re: JM vs JAG
Honestly I find the JM to be a better sounding guitar. But I just love the Jag. It has the looks, the chrome, the short scale and the versatility.

Re: JM vs JAG
This poll was done a while ago, and the JM won. I just voted Jaguar this morning and the Jag was ahead, but JM just took over again LOL
Jaguar > Jazzmaster :)

Re: JM vs JAG
I am addicted to my JM - I can make short scale work, but long scale neck is definitely more comfortable for me. I would love to have Jazzmaster with Jaguar pickups though !

Re: JM vs JAG
Yeah I figured people make polls like this every once in a while on here... BUt another one can't hurt, can it?
I was actually surprised to see the jag take the lead early on. I know a lot of people like them of course but whenever I hear people talk about offsets out in the world jazzmasters seem to be what people mention most of the time.

Re: JM vs JAG
I've always preferred Jazzmasters because, all things equal, they seem to stay in tune and intonate a little better than shorter scale guitars . I've always thought that of 25.5 scale guitars... and the only Jag I ever borrowed just wasn't as in tune, although it looked cool.

Re: JM vs JAG
It's like if someone asked which of your kids, albeit different, do you love more. I love them both equally for what they are and what they do differently. There is no way I could pick one or the other. Regardless, I'm interested to see the results. Knowing this forum, I bet it is an easy win for the JM

Re: JM vs JAG
I bought my first two offsets, Squier VM Jaguar and Jazzmaster, in the same week a few years ago (I'm weak).
I played both of them for a few months and made the very hard decision... While I love both, the Jazzmaster scale is better and the sound is more unique. I do love the chromed out Jaguar, but the Jazzmaster is the better instrument, in my opinion.

Jaguar. The looks, the feel, the versatility and customization... No brainer.

Re: JM vs JAG
Another vote for the Jaguar. Love 'em both, but I just like the more percussive (?) feel of the short scale a bit more. And it looks cooler with all dem chrome bits.

I always thought that I was a jazzmaster guy, until I got my first jaguar and then had a partsguar built. It wins for me. Love Both but the Jag has a slight edge.

Re: JM vs JAG
Just checked back on this thread to find a 50/50 tie. The answer "both" really is the correct one! Each has its stronger points and while similar in ways, both are very unique. Love both models.
