Fender - Classic Series Jaguar '62

Product details

Offspring of the Jazzmaster, the Jaguar paired brighter pickups with a mellow, short 24" scale length. A trio of sliding pickup selector switches, rotary volume wheels on the upper bout, and chrome hardware, are distinctive Jaguar traits. The wacky Fender Mute is a built-in string-damping device created with surf bands in mind (don't worry it's removable).

The Jaguar's single-coil pickups resemble those of the Strat, but there's an added feature called a "keeper" not found on the Strat pickup. The pickup is nested within the serrated-edge of the Steel keeper to increase the magnet flux at the strings, increase the current through the pickup coil, and to reduce the pickups sensitivity to hum. The result is a Strat pickup with more kick in the mids and less noise. The Jag shares the upper bout "preset circuity" feature found on the Jazzmaster, and a trio of selector switches. An individual on-off switch for each pickup and a subtle high pass filter switch rounds out the unique tonal versatility of this instrument.
