Fender Jaguar

I think he played a strat, the guy on this album.

And the guy we see, he was playing Jaguar.

No, Jazzmaster, wasn't he?

Yeah.

So I think it sounds cool.

I think it's an underused instrument.

Oh, they have a baritone Jaguar.

They do.

um the transformation of their sound accelerates when belinda butcher joins kevin shields column which is a tricky name to pronounce i had to look that up the old gaelic names are tricky and debbie gooch so In 1988, they make the You Made Me Realize EP, Feed Me With Your Kiss, and then finally they're getting into Isn't Anything.

So Kevin Shields starts utilizing famously the tremolo system on his Fender Jazzmaster and Jaguars, which you might see some versions of behind me.

Yes.

using it not the way it was really intended, let's say he's grabbing onto that tremolo arm and holding onto it while he's strumming.

Because of this constant paranoia, the sound itself was stripped down even further.

Players would load up a cheap Fender Jaguar into a dented Marshall and throw everything through a cheap distortion pedal because quality instruments were simply not accessible.

A big part of Soviet punk’s identity came from how it copied and remixed the outside world.

If a band didn’t have their own instruments or a studio, they’d take a foreign cassette and copy its guitar riff onto the cheap machine in front of them while they yelled through the same amp.

This is a surf guitar.

This is a very famous surf style guitar, the Fender Jaguar.

Jaguar.

Very famous.

I have a mid-80s Japanese Fender Stratocaster.

I wonder how much my Jaguar is worth right now.

I paid like $600 for it.

My guess is maybe like $13.

Do you just not have internet connection? I have internet connection.

This will be one for the audience.

What's my Jaguar worth? So it's a candy apple red MIJ Jaguar from the early eighties.

The earliest it can get is what I can remember about it.

So that was pretty cool.

And then just recently I finally bought my Cobain, uh, Jaguar, like his SIG Fender signature.

Jack, which is my favorite.

It really just immediately kind of became my favorite.

Uh, s- they share a producer, uh, "Carnavas" and this, with Dave Cooley, but it's quite very clear, like, this is where they start to deviate from that shoegaze sound, different stylistic choices.

The, the biggest change, well, change is, is the swap from the hollow body Sheridan Epiphone guitar-wise to a Fender Jaguar, and this is the only record he plays the Jag on, as far as I'm aware, which has a much hotter, harsher tone than the hollow bodies.

So or-

Mm-hmm
