How I Fixed a $300 Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar

My friend asked me to find him a good guitar for recording that had a whammy bar and a "jangly" sound, but wasn't too expensive. I quickly recommended a used Squier Classic Vibe Jaguar, which you can find for around $300. These guitars are a great value, but buying used can mean they have a few small issues. This one felt solid, but had a few red flags with the electronics and setup that needed to be addressed. I'll show you how I fixed the issues and got it ready to make music again. Whether you're curious about offset guitars or wondering if a Classic Vibe can hold up, I hope this video helps you out.
