I did not know what to expect!
First impressions 'out of the box' were fine!
The Shoreline Gold finish was WAY darker compared to the stock photo's! It was definitely ready to play, I only lowered the action to my preference.
That being said, the guitar didn't grow on me first.
The pickup didn't sound as "hot" as I thought it would for a humbucker, overall it sounded really bright and clear which is probably part of the appeal for Jaguar-fans! :)
But, I was already tempted to put a different pickup in the bridge that would be more suitable with more gain. When I switched between this Jaguar and my Les Paul on rehearsals, I had to push my amp WAY more for a similar gain-tone. Once I put Beefy Slinky's (11-54) strings on it, it started to grow on me!
The sound options are great! It makes you want to try out different tones! The quality and feel is really great as well.
It's not my favourite guitar, but I fell in love with this seeing it for the first time. It's my first Jaguar and I really wanted it because of the pickup configuration and the roasted maple neck!

Very pleased!
This is my first brand new guitar and i gotta say i am satisfied.
Although will have setup done on it, it plays fairly well even out of the box. Clean is nice and full and the high gain tones are deep and chunky. The coil splitter and parallel switches give a nice variety of different sounds. I will say my amp is a bit of a bottleneck though, so a switch to a beefier one is needed.
All-in-all very happy with the guitar!
