The Fender Jaguar is an electric guitar made by Fender and characterized by an offset-waist body, a relatively unusual switching system with two separate circuits for lead and rhythm, and a short-scale 24″ neck. Owing some roots to the Jazzmaster, it was introduced in 1962 as Fender’s feature-laden top-of-the-line model, designed to lure players from Gibson. During its initial 13-year production run, the Jaguar did not sell as well as the Stratocaster and Telecaster, and achieved its most noticeable popularity in the surf music scene.
The Jaguar was taken out of production in 1975, and vintage Jaguars became popular first with American punk rock players, and then more so during the alternative rock and indie rock movements of the 1980s and 1990s.
This model is a 2nd year production model, and pots and neck date it to ‘63.
