That's quite impressive collection. I tried one of those semi hollow Jaguars and was curious what other people's experiences were.
This one isn’t stock. It’s got a set of Creamery Alt’88s. A definite improvement from the stock Japanese pickups of the time. I could imagine people missing the contours on this. I have a few bound body guitars so it’s no biggie for me.

I took this in trade as I’d always wanted to try one. It was never intended as a keeper however it seems to have stayed so far. I don’t think I’d ever sell it but the right trade could maybe pry it away.

I have that exact Squier CV Mustang and just picked up a Squier CV Jaguar FSR. These guitars punch so far above what you pay for them provided you set them up properly.

I added these Fishman Fluence and immediately hated it. It looked pretty cool but wasn't what I wanted. I went to a Cool Rail/ Vintage Rail single coil sized humbucker setup and love it.

I just bought a shortscale bass the size of a mustang. Acoustic electric. IT rules

Dudes it rules. It's 24" scale and feels exactly Luke playing a mustang/jaguar with 4 over sized strings on it. It sounds good too
