Good to know, I played a mustang a while back and it looked like a toy.

Offsets can look a bit huge on small people. But regular Normal sized people like me they look just right.

Still do and love it. Put some Antiquity II pickups in it and a Staytrem bridge and it's incredible.

I would thoroughly recommend them.

Keep saving and buy a used AVRI.

Sure except it’s completely unnecessary to save that much money to get a decent jaguar. They can be had for more cheaper as already evidenced in this thread

Plus used avri in the UK are getting to stupid nearly vintage guitar monies.

Tried both and can say the Player is a better guitar but the CV looks way better. Also the narrow tall frets on the current CV’s aren’t for everyone.

I don't think anyone is saying its not better. Its been a while since playing a AVRI Jaguar. But its not like they are as great as their price point suggests.
£349 for a squier CV Jag compared to £1599 for American Jaguar. There is not that much quality difference.
You are paying for American wages not 3xtra quality.

And let's be honest fuck American wages at this point

Haha! You are basically just giving money to Trump if you buy American.

Do wish I'd bought a bunch of stuff when it was 1 UKP = 2 USD rather than 1 UKP = 1.25 USD though.
