What should be your first surf guitar? a Jazzmaster or a Jaguar?

The Jaguar totally blew me away, it's such a unique sound and I love that it has both a bass cut and the rhythm circuit

[bumblefritz]

I've been in love with Jaguars ever since playing one in shell pink at a local shop. Whenever I went there I had to play it. One day... it was gone. I asked the guy behind the counter if they were ever getting more Jags and the guy claimed they never had one... The Phantom Jaguar.
Seeing John Frusciante and Kurt Cobain using them cemented that I had to have one. I got my first job at around 14-15 working a couple hours a night and saved up for like a year and bought my Jaguar. An '06 American Vintage '62 Reissue Jaguar in sunburst. Nearly 20 years late and it's still rock solid, even with the notorious bridge. Truly a dream guitar.

Aesthetically I prefer the small pickups and all the crazy so-60's electronics of the Jaguar, but thing I prefer the sound of the longer scale Jazzmaster. I had never heard a comparison between the two models so close and it's really educational. Thanks!

I think the Jaguar is the best surf guitar period. More Jag videos please!

[danapplebee]

I love my Jaguar. You didn’t talk much about how it feels to play the short scale, but I love how easy it is to play stretchy chords on it. That and the punchy sound of the Jag are what I like most.

[jameswilliford]

Sold me on the Jaguar...I'll be calling my Sweetwater sales rep in two weeks. Excellent comparison video and great playing!

I have both of these and a telecaster from the classic vibe series, and I can tell you that these are some of the BEST made Squier guitars ever!!! In fact, I only had to do a setup on one of them. The pickups sound fantastic, they stay in tune extremely well, and they are built like tanks.

I’ve been watching your videos for years and this just hit me today … you need a mini surfboard for your surf pedalboard, your “surf board”. Would it be completely impractical? Absolutely. But it would be sweet!

[Visionism]

The answer is "Gretsch" because you can get them in silver sparkle, which is the most important thing.

[matthewbowman]

I’ve watched for years but this might be my first comment. I really enjoyed hearing you play in your favorite genre with the effects you would use for that music. You play dry a fair amount—I assume to showcase instrument/amp tone, but for this style of music the effects really help me understand what you are doing and what the tones of the guitars and amps are for—more please!

[Drghoulie]

I appreciate how much you show off the tremolo system, I’ve been watching alot of reviews on jaguars, jazz masters, and mustangs trying to see which I should get and alot of reviewers lightly cover the tremolo. They don’t crank it like you do. Also love your play style, I would love to learn to play like you.

Finally a clear, concise explanation and demonstration of the differences of these two. Both are extremely cool, but I can see why the JM is more popular. The tone was much crisper, articulate, and twangy. The Jag seemed a little dark, but still awesome. For my personal taste, I’ll vote for the JM.

[bradleyhajost]

I went for the JAGUAR because I like its ease of play and the great TONAL OUT put possibilities. Thank you for inspiring me to push the Outer Limits of my creativity! 🙏🏻🤘🏻🤗🤘🏻

[billsmotrilla]

What a fantastic comparison that addresses something I have always pondered myself. Great content!

[scottenglert]

I have a Daphne Blue Classic Vibe 70s Jaguar and it's pretty wild... but the lead circuit with the strangle switch is *definitely* great for the jangle-y sound and when you mix it with some good reverb and palm muting...*so good* The short scale is pretty great too...

[francoantonio]

Saw your comment on my post on Reddit thanks so much for the detailed video thoroughly enjoying it.

[rocketsurgeon]

Oddly enough. I wish you posted this yesterday as I was indeed choosing between the two models. I went with the Jazzmaster for the scale length alone. Another great video, keep it up!

[TFShaw]

I learned that I like Jaguars more than I did before watching this very informative and entertaining video.

[jeromemurphy]

Thank you for inspiring me and jolting me back to why I like the Jaguar so much for surf music. Your playing is also very inspiring. More than you could ever know. Thank you Ryan. Few people play Jaguars and Jazzmasters like you do, the way they were intended to be played. At least the way many surf players played them back in the day.
