Here for sale we have a Fender MIJ Traditional '60s Jaguar in 3-Color Sunburst finish. Made in Japan in 2019, this instrument features a bolt-on construction comprising an Alder body, Maple neck and 22 fret Rosewood fingerboard. Chrome hardware is fitted, including a 6-saddle Vintage-Style adjustable bridge with floating tremolo tailpiece and vintage-style split-post tuning machines. A pair of vintage-style Jaguar single-coil pickups are installed, and are wired to the traditional Jaguar controls, with both rhythm and lead circuits featuring their own volume and tone controls, along with pickup slide switches and a tone circuit control for the lead circuit.
The Maple neck plays beautifully. The Jaguar stands alone in Fender's line-up as their only short-scale instrument that was not designed as an affordable student model. The short scale certainly informs the playing experience, making for a neck that feels very easy to manoeuvre and making those long stretches easier to reach. The period-correct 7.25" radius and vintage frets ensure an authentic '60s playing experience, with the 'U' shape neck profile offering something substantial to grip whilst playing without feeling at all cumbersome. Whilst the controls are extensive, they are well set out for easy access whilst playing.
Amplified, the pair of vintage-style Jaguar single-coils deliver a bright and jangly tone in the lead circuit, with clean sounds ringing out with a sparkle and chime that make it clear why the Jaguar was adopted by surf players. The neck position is warmer, but still easily cuts through the mix. The rhythm circuit provides a darker tone from the neck pickup, adding an almost jazzy quality to your lead lines. Whilst unconventional in terms of switching, the Jaguar offers a seriously versatile set of tones that make it suitable for a wide range of genres. Indeed, the instrument has been seen in the hands of everyone from Johnny Marr to Kurt Cobain.

Serial: JD19008995
Aesthetic Condition:
Headstock: Overall excellent condition. Very light scratching to the front face is visible under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes. Any other markings are difficult to discern.
Neck: Overall excellent condition. The rear of the neck has been sanded by a previous owner to a high standard, achieving a consistent satin finish. This is apparent where the headstock and neck meet and at the heel, as masking tape has been used to protect the gloss finish, leaving a hard line. Any other markings to the neck and fingerboard are difficult to discern.
Body: Overall very good condition. A notable chip is present at the bass side rear of the lower bout, exposing the wood. The finish around the chip is stable and should not worsen. Light indentation to the rear face is apparent towards the bottom edge, lightly piercing the finish. A lighter indentation is present to the front face, close to the output jack. Mild scratching to the front face is present at the bass side of the neck joint, and also on the treble side of the lower bout. Light scratching to all aspects of the body is visible under direct light, as is common with high gloss finishes.
Condition of Frets:
The frets demonstrate very light signs of use, not affecting playability. There is considerable material remaining for any future fret work the new owner may wish to perform.
