Full Description
View Full DescriptionAuthentic 1962 Jaguar craftsmanship
The Fender Custom Shop 1962 Jaguar is a masterfully built recreation of one of Fender’s most iconic offset guitars. Every element of the build stays true to the original 1962 blueprint, from the distinctive body contours to the vintage-style 24" scale length. The short scale contributes to a slinkier playing feel, ideal for expressive chords and leads. With a traditional 4-bolt neck plate and slab body design, the guitar delivers a period-correct feel in the hands, making it a standout for collectors and performers chasing vintage character. The attention to detail reflects Fender's Custom Shop ethos, preserving the heritage of Jag while delivering modern precision.
Premium relic finish and gold hardware
This limited-edition model boasts a striking Desert Sunset finish, applied using Fender’s nitrocellulose lacquer for a vintage-style appearance and natural resonance. The relic treatment adds a worn-in feel, complete with simulated wear marks, fine lacquer checking, and dulled hardware—all performed by skilled Custom Shop artisans. Complementing this aged aesthetic is a full suite of gold hardware, from the tremolo system to the vintage-style tuners and control plates. This luxurious touch not only enhances the visual appeal but also reinforces the guitar’s exclusive, one-of-a-kind character.
AAA rosewood fretboard
A AAA-grade dark rosewood fretboard is selected for its rich visual character and premium quality. The neck features a comfortable ’62 Jaguar profile with a .820" depth at the 1st fret and .890" at the 12th, offering a solid yet fast-playing grip. The 9.5" fretboard radius and narrow tall 6105 frets deliver a blend of vintage response and modern performance, supporting effortless string bends and precise fretting. The fingerboard is adorned with micarta dot inlays and side markers, blending old-school aesthetics with modern materials. This is an instrument built to deliver an authentic vintage playing experience in every way possible.
Classic Jaguar tone with hand-wound pickups
At the heart of the Fender Custom Shop 1962 Jaguar are its hand-wound ’62 Jaguar pickups, meticulously crafted to replicate the spiky, bright chime that defined early surf rock and indie tones. These pickups use flat magnets and are relic’d to visually match the guitar’s overall aesthetic. Tonally, they offer a crisp, cutting top end with a focused low-end response, perfect for clean chimes and gritty textures. The familiar Jag switching system remains intact, offering independent rhythm and lead circuits with a high-pass filter to shape the tone further.
