Fender American Professional Jaguar, Maple Fingerboard, Antique Olive

The American Pro Jaguar is a guitar for players who want something different from the Strat-and-Tele mainstream. The Jaguar's shorter 24-inch scale length gives it a uniquely slinky feel and a slightly darker, more compressed tone that's become the secret weapon of shoegaze, indie, surf, and alternative players. The maple fingerboard adds brightness and snap that balances the Jaguar's naturally thick voice, and Antique Olive is a finish with serious vintage cool.

Fender updated this version with V-Mod pickups that retain the quirky Jag character while reducing the hum and noise that plagued older models. The rhythm circuit still gives you that distinctive muffled tone for moody passages, and the lead circuit offers bright, biting single-coil punch. The treble bleed circuit keeps your highs intact as you roll down the volume. If you want a guitar with real personality and a sound that's instantly recognizable, the Jaguar rewards players who appreciate its unique approach.
