i have this Jag in my arsenal: http://www.fender.com/products/special- ... -jaguar-hh

i'm wondering... is the "lead modify switch" doing anything at all? i'm not really hearing any noticable difference whatsoever through my setup (tech21 sansamp tri-a.c. directly into a Lexicon Alpha hooked up to Roland DM-10s).
is the preamp possibly coloring the sound SO much that i'm missing the nuance?

scratch the question! it appears to indeed be an issue of the preamp's workings. once i dialed back the gain (to pristine clean, from my typical 1-o-clock grit), the switch's actions were much more pronounced

yeah, it wasn't my first choice for a Jag, but...
it was in town, i've already got Jaguar pickups from the Cyclone...

and the thinline Jag hadn't been introduced yet :P

mostly, at the time it was either a jag with humbuckers, or wait MONTHS for the Mustang Special to be in town. in the end, i got both :P and as far as humbucker-equipped Jags go, i LOVED the fact the Dragsters are underwound and don't push an amp much more than a single-coil; there's numerous other guitars FAR cheaper than the Jag Special that can get massive output. but that's not the sound i want from a $800 Jag when i could get the same sound from a HSS squier strat for 1/4 the price.
<--- points at my Squier Bullet, which was already rebuilt for about $100 with a high-output EMG humbucker at the time i bought the Jag.

so basically, the Jag Special was just there when the Mustang Special wasn't. if the Mustang had been in stock, i somewhat have to doubt the Jag would be sitting in my house.
