Fender American Professional Classic Jaguar - 3-Color Sunburst

Fender American Professional Classic Jaguar - 3-Color Sunburst

The Fender American Professional Classic Jaguar is the perfect fusion of golden-era soul and modern reliability, designed for the player who craves authentic offset vibes without the vintage quirks. This guitar captures the surfy snap and indie-rock growl that put the Jaguar on the map, thanks to its alder body and "short-scale" 24-inch design. Under the hood, it features a pair of Coastline ’65 Single-Coil pickups that deliver the crystal-clear chime and aggressive bite associated with mid-60s examples, but with a slightly hotter output that handles modern gain stages with ease. Whether you are chasing the jangle of Johnny Marr or the grunge fury of Kurt Cobain, this instrument provides the sonic palette to get you there.

Playability is paramount on this model, featuring a "Modern C" maple neck with a satin urethane finish that feels fast and broken-in right out of the case. The rosewood fingerboard with a 9.5" radius and medium-jumbo frets offers a familiar, comfortable surface for both rhythm work and lead excursions. Fender has also thoughtfully updated the hardware, employing a Jaguar bridge with Mustang saddles to ensure better string stability—solving a common grievance with vintage offsets—while retaining the expressive capabilities of the vintage-style "floating" tremolo. With the added versatility of the "strangle" switch to cut low end for piercing leads, this Jaguar is a true workhorse for the stage and studio.
