Fender 50th Anniversary Jaguar

The 50th Anniversary Jaguar guitar takes you back to 1962, when Fender introduced an unusual new guitar that paired the sleek Jazzmaster body style and elaborate control layout with a shorter scale and smaller, brighter pickups with more output. The Jaguar gradually acquired a fascinating pedigree quite unlike that of any other Fender guitar. A chromed out, Surf Rock staple of the 1960s, it found new life from the mid 1970s on as a subversively offbeat alternative axe wielded by punk, post punk, grunge and alt indie guitar heroes and anti heroes alike. The same guitar that originally crested waves of reverb drenched singles by groups such as the Chantays and the Surfaris later fueled, for example, the dynamic grunge maelstrom of Nirvana, the translucent shoe gazing dream pop of My Bloody Valentine and the literately artful alt rock of the Pixies, the Flaming Lips and many others. Here are the details: Available in Lake Placid Blue, Candy Apple Red, and Burgundy Mist Metallic, Alder body, C shaped Maple neck with a bound 9.5” Rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, Pearloid Block inlays, Classic 24” scale length, Special design Hot Jaguar single coil pickups, Vintage style floating tremolo with the lock button, Slight neck angle pocket cut for improved pitch, Repositioned tremolo plate for increased bridge break angle and better sustain, With hardshell case
