Who bought the 2022 FSR Jaguars?

And bigger question, who kept theirs? And how do you feel about it now :3



Wow, you can really tell be the state of the control plates which one is getting regularly played, and which one is nicknamed "Louis XVI".

OH, I LOVE THAT COMBO!!!

I bought one and I intend to keep it. I do quite like it but I must say, compared to my Kinko FSR Jaguar, it feels heavy.

Oh nice!
I still have my CFM Jag, got new pickups (65ers) but haven't gotten around to installing them. The originals were too squealy.

Is that pickguard aluminum? Looks sharp. Would love to see more pics.

Yes, it’s a silver adonized aluminum pickguard …
I love how it looks on that silver sparkle …

I need to take and upload more photo but yes, the video posted above is me and that guitar ;-)

I played a CFM one the other week and aside from the pickups being a bit bland, it was decent!

I did, it's my first Jaguar.



While a very good guitar in general, I'm constantly fighting its sound. It's bright sounding but in a kind of a muddy harsh unappealing way. It might be the setup, the pickups, the electronics, my amp or all of it, not sure yet.

Either way, with a great body and neck it is an ideal test subject for upgrading and modding so I'm gonna keep it and work on it until it sounds right.

BTW, mine has a figuring pattern on the fretboard and I've been told it's rare for a laurel board to have this, is that true or are other Jags from this series also like this?

I wish they were offered in Canada. I would have 100% bought a Charcoal Frost one.

Congrats!

Oof, I have to say I like the sound of mine. But, I'm running 10-48 flats on it. What strings are you using? Testing "Louis XVI" the other day with the OG stock 9s was pretty painful, for sure.

Oh wow! No, neither of mine do! One of the (several) reasons I like the neck so much I bought a second is because the flat, dark, neutral wood suits my tastes - more than say the redder, striated rosewood on my Jagmasters. But if I had a fretboard like that I'd definitely find it appealing!

I'm sorry y'all missed out.

Thanks! Using Ernie Ball 11-48 but I don't think my problems are string gauge related as I went from 9s to 10s to 11s and it hasn't changed. I think more than anything it needs a proper setup before I judge the other components and I did fix some things, currently waiting for shims to arrive. Definitively a long term project.

Interesting, so I guess it's more of an accident kinda thing rather than a feature on these.
