Jaguar Amplification Receives Premier Guitar’s Premier Gear Award

April 20, 2010 - PRLog -- The Jaguar Junior has been awarded a Premier Gear Award in the May 2010 issue of Premier Guitar.

The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of all gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

“This beast is about as good as it gets in a roots-rock amp with delicious tone-osity, solid build quality and good looks,” says reviewer Pat Smith. “Jaguar is making some truly great gear and should be well pleased with what they’ve done here.” Premier Guitar awarded the Jaguar Junior a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating.

“We are thrilled and honored to receive the Premier Gear Award for the Jaguar Jr.,” says Henry Clift, owner of Jaguar Amplification. “We wanted to create a simple yet tuneful amp that would be equally at home in the studio or on stage. Pat Smith’s description of the amplifier nailed what we were after. Many thanks to everyone at PG for the recognition!”

“Whether you want to know about the coolest new gear from the established companies or under-the-radar stuff from outfits that’ll be tomorrow’s superstars, Premier Guitar provides the lowdown on gear you want to know about—and the gear you need to know about (but don’t know it yet). More than any other guitar publication, we put products through their paces, put them in their proper context, and ask the same tough questions readers ask when they’re deciding whether to make a purchase. That’s why so many six-string fanatics often buy gear based on our reviews alone, sight unseen.” —Shawn Hammond, editor in chief.

About Jaguar Amplification (http://www.jaguaramplification.com/):
Jaguar Amplifiers are built by musicians for musicians. After seeing a local guitarist play through a late-70s British valve combo, the bug was planted. From that moment on, one thing became very clear; valve amps were the only amps to play through - for guitar or bass. Each amp is carefully assembled, burned in and play tested to ensure it will deliver great tone, time and time again.
