collapse expand iconDescription

Created to be the top-of-the-line Fender in 1962, the short-scale (24") Jaguar was an instant hit with surf bands. Over the years it was adopted by punk and alternative bands, in part because of its unique "strangle" bass-cut switch and angular good looks. The American Original '60 Jaguar perfectly captures that vibe and sound, with an updated, modern fretboard radius for easy playing. Period-correct pickups and vintage tuners match with the original locking floating tremolo for an amazingly versatile instrument.
