About This Listing
This is a nice Fender Jaguar, made in the USA in 1962, the first year this model was made. It has been refinished white and has many changed parts but it is an awesome playing and sounding instrument. The pickups are Duncans, the pots are from the 70's, the tuners are later "F" tuners, the bridge is new. The other hardware and pickguard appear original. It weighs 8 pounds, 2 ounces. This guitar has been pro-setup in our store and it is in excellent playing condition. It comes with a non original hard case.
The Fender Jaguar was introduced as a high-end model guitar four years after the Jazzmaster. Though similar to the Jazzmaster in its offset body and lead/rhythem circuits controls, the Jaguar differed in two key ways. For one, the Jaguar used a shorter 24-inch scale length compared to the 25 1/2-inch of most Fender guitars. Additionally, the Jaguar used two thinner single-coil pickups compared to the feedback-prone soapbox pickups of the Jazzmaster. The Jaguar was not as popular as the Telecaster or Strat in its initial run, but has found some popularity with punk, grunge and indie rockers since.
Body Style: Offset solidbody
Wood Composition: Alder body, Maple neck with veneer Rosewood fingerboard
Design Elements: Bolt-on neck, dot inlays, 2 single-coil pickups with notched side-plates, individual pickup selectors, 24-inch scale length, treble and bass roll knobs, floating tremolo system, lead/rhythm circuit switch
Finish Specifications: The guitars shown here have been refinished, either by the Fender factory or by a third party, and generally can be had for a much lower price than a guitar with its original finish.
Notable Players: Kurt Cobain, Johnny Marr, Carl Wilson
