Its got great action out of the box sounds beautiful on decent amps if you have a fender mustang I suggest and other amp the mustang is horrid with this guitar little buzzing on the low e string easy fix

Wow! I always wanted an offset guitar and did a little research before purchasing. As with many products there are positives as well as negative reviews and you have to weigh the options. That being said I decided to give the squire 70’s CV Jaguar a try.Before the guitar arrived I will admit I was very skeptical & expected something that would require a lot of work & attention to make playable. (Side note: I had a horrible experience with an American made telecaster a couple of purchases ago in hindsight I should’ve returned or refused the guitar but did the work needed to be done). When the Jaguar arrived I can say the setup was perfect as well as everything else. The quality was on par or better than the higher dollar fenders and the sound is excellent! I am very impressed. Made me a believer! Import or not this guitar is worth the price!

I have to save right off that this guitar sounds very very VERY good right out of the box and the pick ups are excellent especially the next pick up. I got mine used on Amazon for $360 and I can’t find anything wrong with it. I’m usually a Les Paul or 335 guitar player, but I’ve had early 1960s Jaguars and I like the different settings especially with a Mid Cut switch-and the different sounds that these guitars can generate. It’s very unique to the Jaguars and Jazzmasters and I really enjoy the feel of the offset body both sitting and standing plus I really like hearing the single coil pickup sound. Even at $450, this one sounds as good as the Fender Jags and I love it so much that I bought the 60’s Squire Jag with the white finish AND the white headstock.Honestly, I don’t care about the name on the guitar when the stuff coming out of China that is finished so well and the electronic all work perfectly. I would rather it come from the USA but those people have a work ethic that borders on masochism! We’re too spoiled to allow that!

I had seen a few video teardowns of the Squier Classic Vibe 70s Jaguar and had my concerns, but I decided to take a chance and order through Prime so I could return it if needed.I am keeping the guitar. Here’s my take:Pros -• The 22-fret neck feels great; shorter scale length makes it pretty easy to play. My Strat and Tele each have 21 frets, and I like the extra real-estate that even the one additional fret provides.• Alnico pickups are jangly and punchy, and once I figured out the Jaguar’s switching I was pulling warm jazziness, solid overdriven rock, Tele twang, and Strat chime, but all with something extra that I think might be unique to the Jag. Sounded real nice. Didn’t hear any hum even with gain, but that’s going to depend on other factors besides just the guitar, so don’t rule out the possibility of hum/noise with your own gear.• No “barbed-wire” frets when running my hand along the side of the neck.• Electronics are sound. The switching takes getting used to.• Guitar is holding tune.• Was planning to put in locking tuners, but I kinda like these vintage style tuners.• Looks fantastic. Let’s all just agree that this is important 🤘Cons -• The stock tremolo plate/arm assembly on the Squier Jag really is garbage. Expect to either replace it or to put in some elbow grease if you have the know-how and tools (I don’t).• Laurel fretboard is bone dry.• Some annoying sitar sounds due to strings making contact in weird places.• Some high spots on the neck.• Very slight string binding at the nut.You can see that the majority of the Cons will be alleviated by a normal setup which we should be doing anyway on a new guitar. I am also having an official Fender American Vintage tremolo assembly put in. If you buy this Jaguar, expect to do something similar, so do be sure to check the price on a replacement Jaguar trem assembly and factor it in to your total cost. Other companies besides Fender make Jag trems, but I wanted to stay in-house because I like the consistent branding and I’ve heard good things about the official Fender AVRI trem as a replacement for the Squier one.In spite of my initial disappointment with some of the out-of-the-box issues like the trem, I still played the guitar for several hours the day it came in, and more the next day before dropping it off at the shop for setup. Really looking forward to getting it back with a proper setup and new trem.Thanks for reading. I hope this has been at least somewhat helpful as you make your decision.

Arrived from Fender via Amazon, with packaging fully intact. The fretboard was absolutely straight, frets level, and fret ends smooth. Set the neck relief and action height, and there was only a very slight frequency-specific buzz at the bridge. The buzz at the bridge was expected, judging by many other reviews of this model guitar. I'm confident that some blue thread locker on applied to the bridge and saddle screws will cut the buzz at the bridge. After the adjustments, there is no fret buzz anywhere along the neck. The overall finish on the guitar looks great. And the variety of tones this thing puts out has me thinking of picking up a small tube amp and playing it clean. Happy with the Squier CV, and not regretting opting for this instead of a Player version.

Missing Allen keys for neck and bridge (std) top of headstock has an impact dent. (Pic) the guitar shipped in bubble wrap. NOTE... THIS IS A "LIKE NEW" that speaks of boxing being different. NOT Missing parts or manual and warranty paperwork.

This is my favorite guitar that I own! The action is low and the strings are a nice gauge! I own an Epiphone les Paul and I had to lower the action and adjust the neck on it, I've had this one for a few months and haven't had to make any adjustments. I definitely recommend this guitar!
