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.

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

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.

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

(I've always been on the wrong end of any cow vs. magic beans transaction, but that was when I bought my Jazzmaster).
