Well I know the telecaster is a twangy guitar and the sound of a strat is kind of round (I really don't know how to explain it) So I was wondering... who is the sound from a Jazzmaster and a Jaguar. What kinds of music are this guitars made for (I know this kind a relative question, but I know a tele is for country and a Strat is for blues...)

- Long Live Rock N' Roll!

When they were released the Jag and Jazz were used widely for surfer style and Ventures style instrumental music.

Their known these days mostly for indie and punk rock. Jazzmaster as a sort of spacey rock a la Sonic Youth and Jaguar for crunch, Nirvana probably being the bets known example.

I'd say, all those guitars are for blues--as are other guitars.
And they are all for rock, country, etc, etc.

I've never been one to try and pigeonhole guitars.

I've played metal on my Mustang. And it works.

metal on the stng works to some extent, but once you get to,say, the melvins, youd bet grab something with a bit more power... mustang doesnt handle drop C very well :lol:

not really... only 3 slowed down songs that were missing a few things that would go on to become staples of sludge (mainly HEAVY $@! distortion)... that album definitely contributed a lot to it, but it still preceded the actual genre

I was playing metal on my Mustang last night--mostly older stuff, but then I was improvising with some leads and some riffs and some noise.

I originally was going to play a bit of some newer blues stuff I was working on, and try out a couple of other things from a guitar magazine, but I got started with some Deep Purple, and it just kept getting heavier from there.

I haven't done that in a while, and it was a lot of fun. My Mustang performed well.

I was playing through my G-Dec Jr, and spent part of it using the metal backing track--which in some ways sounds more punk, but the guitar stuff I was playing was pure metal.

So it was metal via Fender on Fender.

And a lot of fun, I almost didn't have time to eat before I went out last night.

The Jazzmaster was used a lot in soul and R&B bands back in the 60s and the Jaguar was used a lot for surf music.

'Am one of the few pickers who thoroughly digs a Jazzmaster for jazz and lounge. Those luxuriously wide single coils and big body-long scale big headstock switching option subtle vibrato combo are perfect for that music. And of course, for surf and melodic instrumentals a la The Ventures. That "Long Cool Woman" in your choice of dress colour. JoAnn is elegant and sensuous in Olympic White. Yowzah, with .011 flatwounds (.020 flatwound 3rd).

And the magnificent Jaguar...it's a short scale Fender at the top end of quality. What a freaking superb guitar. In this opinion it's the Fender equivalent of a tarted up SG with P-90s. Beautiful in that hot woman with a little too much makeup and voluptuous everything else way (Siobhan is a s*x bomb in Shell Pink), fun, useful, uber-toneful. (.011 roundwounds with roundwound .020 3rd)

Both are really cuddly to play, slid back on the sofa with your feet up on the ottoman and a half full rocks glass off to the side. Not "beer" guitars. Dim the lights, please.

In this opinion, the Jazzmaster and Jaguar are absolutely positively every bit as hot and grande' fun as the Strat and Tele. And pathetically under-rated.

Fender "Guitars for people not afraid to be adults"?

Bingo.
It's my fingers that determines the style of music, not which guitar I am playing.
