Fender American Original '60s Jaguar Electric Guitar, Round-Laminated Rosewood Fingerboard, Candy Apple Red

Never resting in our mission to make life better for musicians, we created the short-scale Jaguar guitar in 1962. Originally released as our feature-rich, top-of-the-line electric guitar, it inspired the heroes of the musical underground and hit its stride with surf, punk and alternative guitarists. The American Original '60s Jaguar brings that supple sound and slinky playability to life again, slightly tweaked for a modern feel. The wax-potted Pure Vintage '62 Jaguar single-coil pickups are as period-correct as possible, from the enamel-coated coil wire to the cloth-covered output wires, fiber bobbins and alnico 5 magnets.

• Alder body with lacquer finish
• Two Pure Vintage '62 single-coil Jaguar pickups
• Lead/rhythm circuit; bass-cut "strangle" switch
• "'60s C"-shaped neck profile; 9.5"-radius fingerboard
• Includes vintage-style hardshell case

We kept the Jaguar's unique circuitry intact for this incarnation; the familiar lead/rhythm circuits are there, along with the bass-cut "strangle" switch. Other authentic touches include vintage-tall frets, original-era body radii, vintage-style hardware--including floating tremolo with lock button and push-in arm--vintage-style hardshell case and a lacquer finish that not only lets the wood "breathe" naturally with resonant tone, it also wears in a distinctively appealing way. An inspiring instrument, the American Original '60s Jaguar is a great way to experience the performance, style and tone that made Fender the choice of axemen with attitude.

Lacquer Finish
The nitrocellulose lacquer finish that not only lets the body breathe with its true tonal character, it also ages and wears in a distinctively personal way.

Pure Vintage '65 Pickups
American Original instruments feature specially voiced pickups crafted to reproduce authentic Fender sound.

"'60s C" Neck Shape
This Jaguar features a "C"-shaped neck profile delivered straight from the 1960s to your hands. Remarkably comfortable, it suits any playing style.

Vintage-Accurate Body And Neck Radii
Original-era fans can rest assured every curve and line of the body and neck are accurate to the historic originals.

Vintage-Correct Hardware
From the bridge to the string tree and tuning machines, every piece of hardware is just like the original.

Fingerboard & Frets
This 9.5"-radius fingerboard is slightly flatter than a vintage-style 7.25" radius, providing a comfortable fret-hand feel. Vintage-tall frets make it easier to bend notes without fretting out.
