Now discontinued, and increasingly rare, the American Original '60s Jaguar brings the supple sound and slinky playability of the first 1962 Jaguar back to life again, slightly tweaked for a modern feel. This is the guitar that inspired the heroes of the musical underground and hit its stride with surf, punk and alternative guitarists.
• Alder body with lacquer finish
• Two Pure Vintage ‘62 single-coil Jaguar pickups
• Lead/rhythm circuit; bass-cut “strangle” switch
• ‘60s C”-shaped neck profile; 9.5”-radius fingerboard
• Includes vintage-style hardshell case
Boasting features like a pair of Pure Vintage '62 Jaguar Single-Coil Pickups, redesigned lead and tone circuits for an even wider palette of tone, and an alder body with an era-correct nitrocellulose lacquer finish, the Fender American Original '60s Jaguar summons the original surf sound in a newly-imagined beauty. Classic hot tone is complemented by vintage-inspired features like a floating tremolo and butt adjust truss rod while new Narrow-Tall frets elicit the crispest response ever with no buzz. A modern classic ready for any rig.
This beautiful instrument is in excellent condition. There is a hairline crack in the binding on the underside of the neck at the first fret (as shown in photos), which is quite common with Fender’s bound fretboards. Other than this, it is in mint condition and is indistinguishable from a new guitar. There are no other dings, scratches, breaks, cracks or repairs. It is 100% factory original.
It comes in its original Fender hard case with full inventory including original tremolo arm and Certificate of Authenticity.
