I've been flipping through pictures for a while now and I just can not tell the difference between the two!! Somebody must know the difference. Does it have to do with the sliding switches by the neck pickup?

Hi.
Yes, they do look similar.

The Jaguar has a smaller scale length of 24".
The Jazzmaster - 25 1/2"

The pickups are different.
The Jazzmaster has more of a P90 style pup.
The Jag, a more traditional Fender style single coil.

The Jazzmaster has controls more like a Strat.
The Jag has controls closer to a Fender Jazz Bass.

The Jazzmaster has a pup selector switch.
And the Jag has 3 different switches for the pup selection.

And That's about it....

Thanks for the explanation Ken! I've never held either one of them, so I just don't know much about them. I'll have to put that on my To Do (GAS) List! :)
