Fender Jaguar (62 reissue)
Fender 62 Jaguar Electric Guitar

A faster, smarter offspring of 1958's Jazzmaster, this baby has much easier action because of its reduced 24" scale length. The single-coil pickups resemble those of the Strat with the addition of a "keeper" that increases current through the pickup coil and reduces sensitivity to hum. The result is more kick in the mids and less noise. The Jag shares the same preset circuitry found on the Jazzmaster and a trio of selector switches. An individual on/off switch for each pickup and a subtle high-pass filter switch round out the Jag's tonal versatility. Maple neck on alder body with rosewood fretboard and vintage-style floating trem. Funky (removable) string dampener is included for historical accuracy. Includes Fender hardshell case.

Fender 70s Stratocaster Electric Guitar
Fender 70s Stratocaster Electric Guitar

The U-shaped neck, large headstock, and "bullet" truss rod -- the essential Strat features of the era -- are just the beginning for this beautiful reissue. It also features a solid ash body, Schaller Vintage "F" machine heads, Vintage Strat single-coils, and a synchronized tremolo. Includes Fender deluxe gig bag ($55 value).

Fender Lite Ash Stratocaster Guitar with Tremolo
Fender Lite Ash Stratocaster Guitar with Tremolo Black

You get the tonal quality of an ash body joined to a highly figured birdseye maple C neck with maple fingerboard, medium-jumbo frets, and abalone dots. The pickup array consists of a Seymour Duncan APS-1N Alnico Pro2 staggered (neck), APS-1RWRP Alnico Pro2 staggered (middle), and APS-1B Alnico Pro2 (bridge) with 5-way switching. Chrome hardware complements the chrome, 2-point pivot trem. Single volume and dual tone controls. Weighs less than 8 lbs.
