CV 70s Jaguar LRL BK : Amazing guitar for offset lovers, but be ready to have to work around it!

4 years ago

Amazing guitar overall, at a good price, with some work to do to make it play good.

Offsets at this price - squiers in this price range in general (I also own a Jazzmaster CV) - Often seem to come with a few issues out of the factory.

You will need to put a higher gauge of strings as these guitars were not inteded for 9's, aswell as maybe shimming the neck. I also have an electronic problem on mine where the bridge pickup has a much lower output than the neck, which can be annoying when switching. Also had to oil the fretboard a bit since it was really, really dry.

If you can do these things by yourself, or are willing to go to a luthier to have it done, I really encourage you to buy this guitar. Having tried both this and the Player Series Jazzmaster / Jaguars, this feels and sounds much better in my opinion, and it is a really good modding platform for a good price range if you're into that
