Electronics & Features

This model sticks closely to the classic Jaguar formula, with the traditional switching system and dual-circuit layout that give these guitars their wide tonal range.

The late-’60s styling is the real highlight — block inlays, bound fingerboard, and blacked-out aesthetic give it a more refined and distinctive look compared to earlier Jaguar designs.

Tone & Feel

This Jaguar delivers the crisp, articulate, and punchy tone the model is known for. It has excellent note definition and clarity, making it a great fit for surf, indie, rock, and clean rhythmic playing, while still offering plenty of bite when pushed.

The shorter 24" scale and comfortable “U” shape neck make it feel fast and easy to play, and the 9.5" radius adds a more modern, player-friendly touch.
