This guitar has been given Fender’s Relic” treatment built to show years of natural wear and tear; with nicks, scratches, worn finish, rusty hardware, and aged plastic parts.

Fender 62 Jaguar Electric Guitar 3-Tone Sunburst Brown Shell Pickguard


There’s no more comfortable guitar whether standing or sitting than the Fender ‘62 Jaguar Electric Guitar. A faster, smarter offspring of 1958’s Jazzmaster, this baby has much easier action because of its reduced 24″ scale length. The single-coil pickups resemble those of the Strat with the addition of a “keeper” that increases current through the pickup coil and reduces sensitivity to hum. The result is more kick in the mids and less noise. The Fender Jag shares the same preset circuitry found on the Jazzmaster and a trio of selector switches. An individual on/off switch for each pickup and a subtle high-pass filter switch round out the Jag’s tonal versatility. Maple neck on alder body with rosewood fretboard and vintage-style floating trem. Funky (removable) string dampener is included for historical accuracy. Includes Fender hardshell case.
