The Fender Jaguar is an iconic guitar known for its distinctive offset body shape, versatile tone, and unique controls. Originally introduced in the 1960s as a high-end instrument aimed at surf and jazz musicians, the Jaguar has since become a favorite among alternative and indie rock players for its smooth sound and comfortable playability. Equipped with dual single-coil pickups, a floating tremolo system, and a 24-inch scale length, the Jaguar offers a wide range of tones perfect for everything from jangly cleans to gritty overdrive.
