New Arrival …

An eye-catchingly adventurous design—an exercise in chrome, plastic and wood—the Jaguar guitar’s delightfully off-kilter aesthetics and unique sound made it a darling of underground artists from the ‘70s to today. Though it was the pinnacle of guitar technology when it was released in 1962, time (and technology) marches on so we updated the Jaguar with modern features and materials, hot-rodding it for today’s players. The result? The American Professional Jaguar—a dangerous instrument with bite.

Developed by Michael Frank, the brand-new V-Mod Jaguar pickup design expands the guitar’s sonic palette with hot, vintage-informed tone delivering plenty of midrange punch and definition. Retain high end clarity when adjusting the volume control, thanks to the new treble-bleed tone circuit that lets your tone shine through in all its glory. The new modern “Deep C”-shaped neck profile feels just right in your hand while the narrow-tall frets make it easy to bend strings accurately and play perfectly intonated chords. The improved tremolo and bridge incorporate a screw-in arm and brass Mustang saddles that stabilize the strings while adding a touch of sonic zip to your tone.

The best of yesterday and today, the American Professional Jaguar is the latest form of electric inspiration from Fender. Step up and stake your claim to a legend.

AMERICAN PROFESSIONAL JAGUAR®

V-Mod Pickups
V-MOD PICKUPS

V-Mod Jaguar pickups are voiced specifically for their position, creating hotter tone with the vintage warmth and clarity that made Fender a legend. The redesigned pickup claw is constructed from nickel-silver for hot output that easily pushes a tube amp into overdrive.

New “Deep C” Neck Profile
NEW “DEEP C” NECK PROFILE

Designed for comfort and speed, the new American Professional “Deep C” neck profile sports more substantial shoulders. The increased mass and altered geometry creates a more natural feel that’s perfect for chord and single-note playing alike.

Narrow-Tall Frets
NARROW-TALL FRETS

Narrow-tall frets are taller and narrower than their medium jumbo cousins, making them especially effective for bending notes and playing chords up the neck with perfect intonation.

New Bridge
NEW BRIDGE

Engineered for ultra-stable performance, the American Professional Jaguar bridge features brass Mustang saddles and a screw-in arm. The new saddles keep the strings where they belong, even when the bridge is pummeled, while the new arm lets you dial-in the arm tension that’s perfect for you.

Treble-Bleed Circuit
TREBLE-BLEED CIRCUIT

The treble-bleed circuit maintains the high end when turning down the volume knob to reduce gain, letting your tone shine through, no matter where the instrument’s volume is set.

Bone Nut
BONE NUT

An original-era Fender design element, a bone nut contributes to superior tone and performance. Many players consider bone nuts to be more “organic” sounding.

 

THE SOUND

Simply put, pickups are the heart and soul of an electric instrument’s voice. V-Mod pickups—crafted with a proprietary blend of alnico magnet types—and the newly redesigned ShawBucker humbucking pickups are voiced specifically for each position.

THE SENSATION

Designed for comfort and speed, the new American Professional guitars’ “Deep C” neck profile sports more substantial shoulders for a more natural. American Professional Precision Bass guitars use the ‘63 P Bass® neck profile while the Jazz Bass features the fast-playing, smooth feel of our slim “Modern C”-shaped profile.

THE STYLE

Two new colors have been added to the mix, with Candy Apple Red and Natural accompanying the Sonic Gray, Mystic Seafoam and Antique Olive that were added earlier in 2016.
