The Fender American Vintage guitars are more than just copies - these are painstakingly accurate reproductions of the guitars from Fenders early years. Whilst shapes have remained much the same, manufacturing techniques have changed dramatically over the last 50 years. However, Fender have gone back to the old ways & make the American Vintage guitars in much the same way as they would have been made originally. As the distinctive early 60s offspring of the equally distinctive Jazzmaster guitar, the Jaguar guitar became an enduring favorite that has successfully spanned many decades and genres, be it 60s surf, 70s punk, 80s new wave, 90s grunge and beyond. This Fender design classic paired brighter pickups with a shorter (24") scale length. The trio of sliding pickup selector switches, rotary volume wheels on the upper bout, and chrome hardware and tremolo lock are all signature Jaguar traits, and the removable Fender Mute is a built in string damping device created with surf bands in mind.This particular guitar has been played but loved. There is a small amount of buckle rash on the back too difficult to pick up in pictures. There is also a little discolouring on the bottom edge where it has been resting on a stand and a few marks in a similar area. We have tried to capture this as best we can in the pictures. All in all it is a solid 8 out of 10. No real fret wear to speak of and all electronics working perfectly. These guitars are now discontinued and are in very high demand, we don't expect this to hang around too long.Available for viewing in our Bolton store.
