The American Professional Jaguar draws from more than sixty years of innovation, inspiration and evolution to meet the demands of today's working player.
Its popular Deep "C" neck profile is slim at the nut and gradually fills out toward the neck joint, creating a natural feel for both chording and single-note playing. The hand-rolled fingerboard edges, "Super-Natural" satin finish, rounded neck heel and beveled neck plate provide a supremely comfortable feel, easy access to the upper register and a fast, responsive playing experience. The Jaguar's hallmark 24" short scale puts a uniquely comfortable feel under your fingers, with less string tension, effortless bends and a warm, full-bodied character. The neck features 22 narrow-tall frets for easier bending and a vintage feel with modern playability.
New V-Mod III Jaguar single-coil pickups are voiced specifically for each position and slightly overwound for punch and presence while retaining vintage warmth and clarity. They deliver the sparkle and chime the Jaguar is known for. Activated by a push/push switch, the bridge pickup can be tapped for either a powerful, throaty sound or a lower-output, sparkly and vintage-accurate tone.
At the flip of a switch, the rhythm circuit puts both pickups in series for a thicker tone with increased output, controlled by independent volume and tone roller pots. The ClassicGear J-Bridge features tight-tolerance machined saddles that lock each string's break angle and contact point, maximizing vibrational coupling to the body while correcting the intonation and stability issues inherent in vintage-style offset bridges. From classic Jaguar warble to deep, Strat-style dives, the Panorama Tremolo system with pop-in arm puts a broad range of expressive vibrato at your fingertips.
The American Professional Jaguar delivers instant familiarity and sonic versatility you'll feel and hear right away, with broad-ranging improvements that add up to a new standard for professional instruments.
