Fender MIJ Traditional '60s Jaguar Left Handed, Daphne Blue

Full Description

Pair of Vintage Style Single Coil Jaguar pickups

Loaded with a set of powerful Vintage Style Single Coil Jaguar pickups, this 60s Jaguar delivers vintage tones that are suitable for a wide array of styles. Creating an authentic Jaguar sound, these pickups offer good sustain and note articulation, ideal for everything from classic rock to jazz or country and blues.

A Classic Alder Body

The 60s Jaguar features an alder body to deliver an incredibly resonant and balanced tone, with plenty of clarity for notes to sing. The body's comfortable contours provide a smooth performance, while the lightweight of the tonewood ensures players don't strain their shoulders during long performances. Alder provides a good amount of sustain, creating bright, sizzling highs, excellently rounded lows, and beefy mids.

Maple Neck & Rosewood Fingerboard

The maple neck tightens up the Fender Guitar's overall tonality, providing extra cut to help punch through dense mixes. Its comfortably smooth feel and slim ''C'' profile offers an incredibly fast performance, allowing players to deliver beautiful leads and solos with ease. The maple neck is paired with a rosewood fingerboard, bringing softer tones as well as warm and smooth articulation.

Fender Japan Guitars

Fender Japan was established as a way for Fender to market their guitars to the Japanese market, allowing for the creation of low cost Fender guitars that still possess the high expectations and build quality of their American counterparts. Japan is often considered to be one of the leading places in the world for guitar manufacturing, and although most of the guitars produced are not sold in the UK, the FSR series allows players to purchase an exceptionally high quality and unique guitar.

History of the Jaguar

The Jaguar was first released in 1962 and was designed to tempt players away from other guitar brands. It had a relatively unusual switching system but during its 13-year production run it did not sell as well as the classic Stratocaster and Telecaster models. It became popular in the surf music scene, and later with punk and rock players of the '80s and '90s, once production had been ceased. Fender began making a Japanese-made model in the '80s, and a USA reissue in 1999. It is now famed for its unique off-set design and unique tones.
