I did not know what to expect!
First impressions 'out of the box' were fine!
The Shoreline Gold finish was WAY darker compared to the stock photo's! It was definitely ready to play, I only lowered the action to my preference.
That being said, the guitar didn't grow on me first.
The pickup didn't sound as "hot" as I thought it would for a humbucker, overall it sounded really bright and clear which is probably part of the appeal for Jaguar-fans! :)
But, I was already tempted to put a different pickup in the bridge that would be more suitable with more gain. When I switched between this Jaguar and my Les Paul on rehearsals, I had to push my amp WAY more for a similar gain-tone. Once I put Beefy Slinky's (11-54) strings on it, it started to grow on me!
The sound options are great! It makes you want to try out different tones! The quality and feel is really great as well.
It's not my favourite guitar, but I fell in love with this seeing it for the first time. It's my first Jaguar and I really wanted it because of the pickup configuration and the roasted maple neck!

Lovely to play, versatile tones.
Very nice finish and feels lovely to play. The tones available cover a lot of ground. The Humbucker tone is lovely and thick. The split single coil mode is nice but not as gritty as a standard Jag in my experience, still has a kick though. All in all, a beautiful guitar and didn't need a setup out of the box.

Very pleased!
This is my first brand new guitar and i gotta say i am satisfied.
Although will have setup done on it, it plays fairly well even out of the box. Clean is nice and full and the high gain tones are deep and chunky. The coil splitter and parallel switches give a nice variety of different sounds. I will say my amp is a bit of a bottleneck though, so a switch to a beefier one is needed.
All-in-all very happy with the guitar!

A great guitar
Lightweight, resonant and a pleasure to play. The neck is simply outstanding. One minor problem for me is that the side dots are not easily visible, as their colour is very close to that of the roasted neck.

Solid Piece
Let me start by saying the finish looks nothing like on the pictures.
This is a very solid piece of equipment, feels very compact and sturdy, stays in tune and setup. The pickups are not as hot as you'd expect, and the tone variations cover less ground than expected also. The foundation of the sound is solid however, so not much to cry about.
The neck is a bit more chunky than for example the Squier JMJM or CV Jag so it took a little to grow on me, but I love it now!

My favorite guitar
I got this guitar for Christmas and I absolutely love it. When I first held it, it just felt right. I changed the strings and adjusted the pickup heights and now it play very nicely. It does everything I want it to do for a very reasonable price. I will buy Squiers in this price range again rather than some more expensive guitars.
