Very versatile and powerful guitar!
First of all - I think Squier has nailed it with this one. Beautiful roasted maple neck with satin finish, well polished frets, no sharp fret ends, nice high-output alnico pickups and switching that makes this guitar a true workhorse. I was surprised by the quality of the build and the palette of 10 different sounds I can get out of that guitar. I was seriously surprised how great the setup was out of the box - which rarely was the case with other Squiers I used to unbox. Pickups split extremely well to single coil sound and I think everyone can find at least few useful tones here. The colour - shoreline gold - is much better than in the pictures and I love the matching headstock. The only complaints I had was the tuner keys quality (Graph-Tech Ratio though were a spot on direct-fit replacement) and when you open the cavity you'll notice that it hasn't been shielded at all - no conductive paint, etc. and unshielded cables and hot pickups made it a bit noisier than my other instruments but shielding on my own helped a lot. Also as you might imagine - pots, capacitor and jack aren't the highest quality - so probably worth considering replacing them, considering the price of this beautiful instrument.
The neck with it's scale is very playable and I was happy to see well polished frets that made bending strings enjoyable right out of the box.
That's not a "true to original" Jag - but if you're looking for a powerful guitar that's easier to dial in and more modern - I think it's a no brainer and definitely a keeper in my guitar collection.
