Fender Player Jaguar

AUGUST 2018 TOTAL GUITAR
103
T
he Player Series marks a real
commitment to the mid-priced
market from Fender, particularly
given there are no unpleasant price
hikes to contend with – although
we would argue that you’d expect an included
gigbag at this price. Of course, there are more
versatile guitars available in this territory, too,
but that’s what Fender’s Deluxe series is for,
and for anyone wanting the real deal – and we
know there are a lot of you – these
instruments represent a marked
improvement on the Standard line. The
Jaguar, true to form, is an acquired taste, but
the Strat and Tele are absolute no-brainers,
thanks to a range of punchy, usable tones and
trouble-free playability, which is sure to
inspire players of all levels.
