sounds great, but some issues
got this guitar last week, it's beautiful to look at and the tone is fantastic. the ability to split the bridge pickup and use varying combos gives it a good range of tones to play around with. when it arrived there were two main issues i found with it. the fret ends are not rounded off particularly well, giving a sharp edge and there was (and still sometimes is) a bit of buzz coming from the body, not the neck. I had the neck straightened and bridge adjusted by a luthier who also noticed the body buzz. tightened a lot of screws and can't say I've noticed it as much since, but for the money I'd expect slightly better finishing/ build quality. I'll keep it and persevere (at extra cost) as it sounds sweet and is really nice to pay. Overall I'd recommend it but also budget for a good once over/ fret end file/ setup from a luthier also to iron out the finishing issues you might also get with the player series. can't fault thomann, as usual, good price, excellent communication and trackable deliveries with options to alter. andy

Surprisingly versatile top value Jaguar
I bought the Jaguar Player Series to fill a gap in my guitar arsenal as my other guitars are all more or less from the Gibson side of the fence. I was looking for a guitar with a brighter, more 60s/indie vibe.
To sum up, this guitar is everything I was looking for and a bit more. Turns out that the bridge humbucker can both deliver quite aggressive rock tone on its on and, when coil split, combines with the single coil in the neck position to deliver a very nice, jangly clean sound.
The neck pickup on its own is right on target for that classic Jaguar chime as well.
The build quality is good and the neck plays very well after some adjustment of the truss rod and the bridge height.
The only downside I can think of is the weight of the guitar. This is probably my heaviest guitar, outweighing both my (weight relieved) Les Paul and my SG. However, that is a minor nibble and overall this guitar met or exceeded my expectations and satisfied my craving for that Jag-tone.
And, of course, it looks gorgeous :)

Big buzz problem
Got this guitar just 2 days ago as my first electric guitar, i love everything about it: the feel, the look, the sound. But one thing started to disturbing me as soon as i notice it - is a buzzing, like you’re not fretting string hard enough. It happens only on 5th and 6th string and mostly when fretted, i have no idea how to fix it
