Fender American Pro Jaguar
Description
An eye-catchingly adventurous design - an exquisite exercise in chrome, plastic and wood - the Jaguar guitar's delightfully offkilter 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 Fender 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.
Developed by Michael Frank, the brand-new V-Mod Jaguar pickup design expands the guitar's sonic palette with hot, vintage-informed tone delivering plenty of midrange punch and definition. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume control, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern "Deep C"-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords. The improved tremolo and bridge incorporate a screw-in arm and brass Mustang saddles that stabilize the strings while adding a touch of sonic zip to your tone.
The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Jaguar is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend.
Features:
V-Mod Pickups
V-Mod Jazzmaster & Jaguar pickups are voiced specifically for their positions, overwound for high-output tone with vintage warmth and the crisp, clear sound that made Fender a legend.
New "Deep C" Neck Profile
Designed for comfort and speed, the new American Professional "Deep C" neck profile sports more substantial shoulders?somewhat between a "Modern C"- and "U"-shaped profile. The increased mass and
altered geometry creates a more natural feel that's perfect for chord and single-note playing alike.
Narrow-Tall Frets
Narrow-tall frets are taller and narrower than their medium jumbo cousins, making them especially effective for bending notes and playing chords up the neck with perfect intonation.
New Bridge
Engineered for ultra-stable performance, the American Professional Jazzmaster and Jaguar bridges feature brass Mustang saddles and a screw-in arm. The new saddles keep the strings where they belong, even when
the bridge is pummeled, while the new arm lets you dial-in the arm tension that's perfect for you.
Treble Bleed Circuit
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.
New Hardshell Case
The Elite Molded Case features body-hugging contours to protect your cherished instrument, TSA latches for increased security and nested stacking ability for easy storage and secure transport.
