I blew my wad on a 2025 MIJ Trad II FSR Jaguar and after tariffs it cost me a pretty penny but was totally worth it. It’s the nicest Jaguar I’ve ever played, the alder body, American pickups combined with the Jap quality QC and craftsmanship make it next level. As for the Vinteras, my V2 Mustang is great for a MIM. The Vintera 1 Jag had a lot of teething issues but after a thorough setup and shim it’s pretty decent. I remember it being worse than it is, whenever I actually pick it up and play it I always think “man I should play this more often” but that MIJ Jag definitely blows it out of the water. I plan on routing the turquoise V1 Jag for a bridge humbucker at some point, I just want to be sure I find a reliable luthier for something like that.. despite the pretty retarded amount of guitars I own, I’m not super picky, one of my top 3 is a Player Strat that would be nothing special to most but just has that magic glove like quality for me personally. I’m hoping this new JM fits well enough because aesthetically I love the green with matching head and a tort pickguard. Looks aren’t my top priority but when they strike me it makes it easier to put the work in or overlook flaws that aren’t easy fixes.
