Fender American Vintage '62 Jaguar Electric Guitar (with Case)

No longer available at zZounds
The Fender American Vintage '62 Jaguar captures the classic Jaguar tone. With all the traditional features, the American Vintage '62 Jaguar is unmistakeable.

Offspring of the Jazzmaster, the Jaguar paired brighter pickups with a mellow, short 24 in. scale length. A trio of sliding pickup selector switches, rotary volume wheels on the upper bout, and chrome hardware and tremolo lock, are distinctive Jaguar traits. The wacky and removable Fender Mute is a built-in string-damping device created with surf bands in mind.
