Can you please spell out the differences between the sounds made by the following guitars and state why each one is generally suited towards a particular style of music more than others making a specific point of how a Jazzmaster differs from a Jaguar.
Fender Strat:
Fender Telecaster:
Fender Mustang:
Fender JazzMaster:
Fender Jaguar:
Fender Tornado:
Fender Jagstang:
Fender Something Else:
No smart arses allowed.
then you're not allowed either, smart arse.
Fender Cyclone:
use a strat for boring prog rock, use a tele for country, a mustang for grunge, a jazz for jazz, a jaguar for surf, a tornado for show and a jagstang for killing yourself with.
fender bottom master.
i'd like me one of those.
its a real guitar, no fooling!
you fucking nailed that, rigid.
so concise too!
i can play open chords.
As Lorenzo St Rigid said, use a strat for boring prog rock, like this guy:
me too!
the Fender Bass VI with guitar strings on RULES for noise drone rock. baritone goodness.
strats are fucking great all round guitars
i used to hate them (for all downstrokes palm muted punk rock)
but now i fkn love em
i wish i had one
only fender i dig now - am off tele's
and the stangs and jazzmasters shit me cause of the indie kids
i have a strat. my brother gave it to me. it plays.
now you're just into guitar porn. Jazzmasters WERE just for jazz until Elvis Costello started using one because it was the cheapest Fender at the time. Then Kevin Sheilds came along and every indie band needed a Fender that was more shapely than the Strat which IS now totally boring and overused since a billion teenagers wanted one because of this ceaseless Hendrix necrophilia courtesy of every guitar magazine.
Ha, Mo you just read my mind and put it into a post. :)
u notice how much less forgiving strats are than a gibbo?
that's alright with me, my technique is impeccable
its a totally different ball game
playing a strat standing up vs my gretsch
no windmills on a strat thats for damn sure
All Fenders are overused.it's like going with the Liberal Party (Gibson are Labor, Rickenbacker the Greens), when there is a plethora of other equally good and often better brands (and ways of thinking how the world would be run).
Im thinking of selling the heavy Gibson custom for a good fender....... Are mustags able to sound clear in the clean?

What a beautiful guitar the Jag is, so many sonic possibilities.
A+++
Leo fender was a man. a BIG man. he made these guitars and amps and when everybody wanted them he sold the business cos he was going round the bend worrying about it all. Anyway to cut a long story short he designed some stuff for boats later on and then later later did g&l.
G&L guitars look crappy.
The Jaguar needs to be tamed, leo was a visionary.
Ive never been interested in fenders much and probably wont ever be other than Jags/Jazzmasters and Coronada or whatever they are called...how much are they vintage?
L series jazzmaster were 5k 2 years ago. Now they are more. Anything L series is going nuts.
mexican are solid. even the electrics are decent. but the pickups suck.
L series jazzmaster were 5k 2 years ago.''
What about coronadas? are they decent guitars?
Fender now making US$25,000 custom shop replica/s of Eddie Van Halen's 'frankenstein' strat
I've become very interested in a Fender Mustang. I'm basing it completely on looks because this one looks fucking awesome.
But are they are worth looking at for a (wannabe) all round player? I think i'm getting over my mex strat a little. Is beginning to sound shitter and shitter to my ears.
my understand of the Mustang is that it has got a pretty broad tonal and sonic range and is good value for the money...is it all single coils? if so you might want to consider a bit of customisation :)
strat sounding shitter - in what way? what are you plugging it into?
whats a 1974 mustand in sunburst all original worth?
2.5 to 3k?
Seen 'em for less than that on ebay.
sorry. short scale are they?
1.8k
yeah, short scale like the Jaguars
ahh eBay, you break my heart. i was slimly outbid on this last night - absollute mint-mint-mint '65 Jazzmaster & '66 blackface princeton reverb amp, purchased together in '66, sold off together in this auction too
Hey what can dudes tell me about Fender musicmasters (not the bass guitars of the same name)? I've obviously read a bit online, but anyone own one?
The musicmaster was the model before the Mustang. It has a hardtail rather than the tremelo system. There are variations on the design, but they are pretty much the same as the Mustang.
The original Musicmaster was a step up from a duo sonic, then the Musicmaster II came out which has the Mustang design. Ahh it's a bit confusing.
Here's a typical Musicmaster. It only has the neck pickup.
