About Fender American Jaguar

The Fender American Jaguar, with its space-age looks and bright, clear tone, has become a bonafide cult classic over the last 60 years. It has been a staple of alternative rock bands since Kurt Cobain became a fan in the early 90s.

The Fender Jaguar burst onto the scene in the early 1960s, replete with switches, sliders and knobs. Its lively, percussive sound was a perfect match for California’s surf rock bands like The Beach Boys. This guitar is reproduced in the stunning American Original 60s Jaguar. Bar a small concession to modernity in the form of the comfortable 9.5”, the American Original 60s Jaguar is a period-correct replica of the vibey vintage guitars.

Some American Jaguars, like the American Professional Jaguar and the Johnny Marr Jaguar, provide modern spins on the classic design.

Whatever the model, the Jaguar's enduring popularity comes from its iconic shape and short 24” scale length. These make them compact and easy to play - perfect for jumping around the stage!

Our Fender American Jaguar guitars come included with a hard case.
