Fender Jaguar

Short-scale offset electric guitar model family

Introduced in 1962 as Fender's top offset model, the Jaguar uses a short 24-inch scale, bright single-coil pickups, an elaborate rhythm/lead switching system, and a floating tremolo. First embraced by surf players, it later became a favorite of alternative and indie guitarists.
