Bask in the glory of the 1963 Jaguar Journeyman Relic. Prestige runs through the veins of this guitar. With a 610mm scale length and a '62-style Jaguar "C" profile neck, you can immerse yourself in a playing experience that is truly authentic and vintage - these are some of the enticing features that took the guitar world by storm in the 1960s. Vintage-style tuners and 6-saddle adjustable bridge with "floating" tremolo not only bring classic details to this guitar, but they also enhance your sound with glorious pitch bends and immense tuning stability. Every note will sound immaculate. And Jaguar lacquer provides the finishing touch that makes the guitar aesthetically dazzling.
Complementing such gorgeous vintage-style components is a round-laminated fretboard that brings modern playability. Thanks to such a comfortable design and 22 narrow tall frets, you can relish that old and classic tone whilst still reaping the benefits of easy, sublime playing.
A tremendous tonewood build
The combination of a maple neck and rosewood fretboard delivers a beautiful tone that is rich in clarity, the type of clarity that separates the notes of even the most complex of chords. This is ideal for gigging with because you won't be hindered by that dreaded muddy sound. Maple's tone is bright, loud, and focused, whilst rosewood evens out any harsh frequencies and brings an undercurrent of resonance, meaning you will have a brilliantly balanced sound which is further enhanced by an amazing alder body. Alder produces a pronounced upper midrange and more wondrous articulation that thrives with blues and rock styles. But it is also versatile enough for other styles too thanks to its balanced and full-bodied sonic capabilities.
Innovative electronics
Custom Shop '62 Single-Coil Jaguar pickups loaded at the bridge and neck allow you to deliver a sound that encompasses glistening articulation, a striking low-end crunch, and an abundance of power. Their shielded design means you won't be hindered by any hum, so you can project immense volume and always sound immaculate. Sculpt your tone to perfection thanks to lead and rhythm circuits and individual pickup switches. They enable you to finetune each pickup for those annihilating solos as well as chunky chords. You can be sure that, whatever your style, you will pierce through the mix beautifully.
Protection included
Keep your guitar protected wherever you go. The hardshell case will absorb any knocks and scrapes on the road, ensuring your instrument is kept in immaculate condition. Even better, a strap is included to ensure you can play anytime, anywhere. And a certificate of authenticity is evidence for the prestige you will be in the presence of.
