Squier Jaguar Short Scale Club Part 3

I see one on the Guitar Center website.

[Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

It's SO BEAUTIFUL! I adore the paint splatter pickguard.

I'm tempted to take the trip up to SF and trade my silver Jag for that one. Or maybe I'll get/make my own paint splatter pickguard. I love it!!

I think I saw a candy apple red one, too.

I'd love if that splatter was continued over the control plate.

BTW, there are currently 2 brand new red Jags on UK eBay - they're going for the equivalent of around $320.00 -$340.00

Another update. Since I'm planning to buy new strings, I was advised to wait until I do that to get a setup done. I think I will just take the bass to Guitar Center tonight and see what they can do. Or maybe I can sneak my bass in to that one luthier over my lunch hour - but I have to call and see if they sell electric bass strings. I want to put on chrome flatwounds or black nylon tapewounds.

I would advise going to the luthier rather than Guitar Center....

Guitar Centers techs are sometimes a little....errrm....underqualified.....

Not ALL of 'em, I hasten to add, just some of 'em...:whistle:

....

It's kind of scary how fast they are disappearing. THE JAGUARS ARE ENDANGERED!!!


I felt like that about the Squier VM Mustangs - but it was worse.
When I found about them they had recently been discontinued, and there were no new ones left.
It took a while to find a used one.

I'd say anyone who wants a Jag SS should grab one now,
and save a lot of hassles down the road.

Rather than trade I would try to acquire.
 
I have a nice paycheck coming later in the summer and if there's still silvers around for that $199 price point I'm buying one. I live in San Diego but my old bandmates are in LA -- we just played a few weeks ago, and I was riding up and then had to fly home so the black one is there (along with my FrankenSchechter) -- I won't be able to pick it up till my next trip to LA and I'm already missing it!

Zzounds has very reasonable payments with no credit needed! I feel stock will sell out quickly.

See, that's what I'm saying -- the prices are going up on the ones that are available.
That only makes sense, these are wonderful basses for not a lot of money. And now the demand will outstrip the supply....you could actually make money reselling a Squier, but I for one am not getting rid of mine!
