The Fender ‘60s Jaguar Lacquer 6-String Electric Guitar in Fiesta Red is a must-have for any guitarist who wants the look, sound and feel of the original models first released in the 1960’s.
The Fender ‘60s Jaguar Lacquer features an offset Alder body that is instantly recognisable to a wide range of different guitarists of all ages. As with the ‘60s originals, this model is finished in a period-correct gloss Nirtocellulose lacquer. The body is accompanied by a 24” scale “C” shape Maple neck that is topped with a 7.25” radius Rosewood fingerboard, fitted with 22 vintage-style frets and pearloid dot inlays.
The body of the Fender ‘60s Jaguar Lacquer is equipped with a pair of American Vintage ’65 single-coil Jaguar pickups that have been designed to be as accurate to the originals as is possible. These are joined by the tone and pickup configuration controls that make the Jaguar one of the most versatile models in the Fender range and have helped to ensure its lasting popularity over the decades.
Rounding out the hardware fittings of the Fender ‘60s Jaguar Lacquer is a six-saddle vintage-style adjustable bridge and floating tremolo tailpiece combination, a set of vintage-style tuners, black plastic control knobs and a three-ply white pickguard.
The main features of the Fender ‘60s Jaguar Lacquer 6-String Electric Guitar in Fiesta Red include:
Fender changed almost entierly the way they look to vintage instruments and also how to make them.
This guitar is really awsome, i don´t even have words to discribe....
the feel of the neck is very good and overall is a very balanced guitar with a very carecteristic tone from a jaguar!
I was really surprised by the quality of this guitar. The finish is great, rosewood on the fretboard is dark and the neck has vintage tint. The setup right out of the box was absolutely perfect. A lot of people who own jaguars complain about buzzing and rattling bridge. But on this guitar there was no buzzing even with stock 10-46 strings. Thats because fender shimmed the neck on the factory and thus increased strings break angle on the bridge. Stays in tune well for jaguar and the sound is really true to vintage. And its awesome to have an included hardshell case for under 1000€. I highly recomend this guitar for all jaguar fans.
P.S. Although stock 10-46 string are fine, this guitar needs heavier stings. Personally i put 11-49 on it and it improved tuning stability and eleminated all posible bribge issues.
