Electronics & Features

The JG66 faithfully recreates everything that has made the Jaguar one of Fender's most distinctive instruments.

Its original Jaguar single-coil pickups produce the bright, articulate attack and chime that have become synonymous with the model, while the traditional lead and rhythm circuits provide an impressive range of tonal options. The individual pickup switches and high-pass "strangle" switch make the Jaguar one of the most versatile guitars Fender has ever designed, allowing everything from warm, mellow rhythms to cutting surf tones and aggressive alternative rock sounds.

The floating vibrato system offers smooth, expressive action while maintaining the classic feel and aesthetics that have made the Jaguar an enduring favorite.

Tone & Feel

A great Jaguar has a voice unlike any other Fender, and this one delivers exactly what players are looking for.

The 24" short scale gives the guitar a slinky, comfortable feel with effortless bends and fast playability, while the vintage 7.25" radius provides an authentic early-'60s Fender playing experience.

The original pickups deliver crisp highs, tight bass, and remarkable note definition, making this Jaguar equally at home for surf, indie, alternative, post-punk, shoegaze, blues, and classic rock.

At 8 lbs 10 oz, it feels solid, balanced, and exceptionally resonant.
