Full Description

Vintage style with premium Japanese craftsmanship

The Fender Made in Japan Traditional Late 60s Jag blends the charm of a classic offset with the renowned precision of Japanese manufacturing. Its gloss black basswood body is paired with a bound rosewood fretboard and white pearloid block inlays, taking you right back to the late '60s. From the headstock shape to the 4-bolt neck plate, every element is crafted to evoke Fender’s golden era while benefiting from meticulous modern build quality. This model stands out not only for its aesthetic accuracy but also for the consistent fit and finish that Japanese Fenders are celebrated for.

Smooth playability with vintage character

Equipped with a U-shaped maple neck and a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard, the Late 60s Jag offers a comfortable playing feel that sits right in the sweet spot between vintage heft and modern ease. The narrow 40 mm nut width enhances playability, making chord work and fast runs equally accessible. This combination of neck shape and radius delivers a nostalgic feel under your fingers while offering a level of comfort that suits a wide range of styles. It’s perfect if you're chasing that classic Jaguar vibe with a neck that feels familiar right out of the case.

Expressive tone and dynamic response

At the heart of this guitar’s sound are two vintage-style single-coil Jaguar pickups, carefully voiced to deliver the sharp, articulate tones the model is known for. From bright jangle to gritty surf tones, these pickups offer a dynamic range that covers everything from indie to alternative rock. The classic Jaguar switching system provides tonal versatility, with lead and rhythm circuits accessed via slide and thumbwheel controls. You can shape your sound on the fly, dialling in dark, mellow textures or snappy, cutting leads with ease.

Floating tremolo for creative control

This Jaguars floating tremolo system is recreated with the upmost vintage accuracy and modern stability. The 6-saddle adjustable bridge works in tandem with the floating tailpiece to give you smooth, controlled vibrato without compromising tuning. Add shimmer to chords or bend notes with subtlety with this tremolo setup, encouraging expressive playing. Combined with Fender’s vintage-style "F" stamped tuners and a bone nut, tuning stability stays reliable even through regular use. It’s the kind of hardware that invites experimentation and rewards creativity.
