Fender American Professional Jaguar Electric Guitar, Olympic White, Rosewood Board - 0114010705

The Jaguar's musical role hasn't stayed put since the first model came out over half a century ago. It was the surf-rock standard in the early 60's, then the go-to axe for punk rockers a few decades later, and now it's the instrument of choice for plenty of indie musicians and more. The only thing you can really pin down about the Jaguar is its versatility. This American Pro model is a dressed up and decked out version of this great guitar mixing vintage tones with modern playability. Tonally, it's ready for just about anything. Use the neck pickup through a clean signal for great rhythm sound that can tackle everything from funk to blues to pop, or use the bridge pickup with heavy distortion for searing leads. You can also utilize both picks together in phase or out of phase for a true wealth of tonal options. The neck is extremely comfortable, and the shorter scale length makes for effortless bending, soulful vibratos and easy fretwork. Perfect for the Fender enthusiast or anyone who needs a guitar that can tackle whatever style of music they happen to be into that week. 

An eye-catchingly adventurous design—an exercise in chrome, plastic and wood—the Jaguar guitar’s delightfully off-kilter aesthetics and unique sound made it a darling of underground artists from the ‘70s to today. Though it was the pinnacle of guitar technology when it was released in 1962, time (and technology) marches on so we updated the Jaguar with modern features and materials, hot-rodding it for today’s players. The result? The American Professional Jaguar—a dangerous instrument with bite. V-Mod Jaguar pickups are voiced specifically for their position, creating high-output tone with vintage warmth and the crisp, clear sound that made Fender a legend. The redesigned pickup claw is constructed from nickel-silver for hot output that easily pushes a tube amp into overdrive. The treble-bleed circuit maintains the high end when turning down the volume knob to reduce gain, letting your tone shine through, no matter where the instrument’s volume is set.
