The 2012 Fender 50th Anniversary Jaguar honors the legendary offset model that debuted in 1962.

With its Candy Apple Red finish, mint green pickguard, and signature extended control panel, this reissue captures the distinctive spirit of the original Jaguar, complete with the shorter scale and bright, powerful single-coil pickups that make it so special. 

The Jaguar was Fender's fourth and final addition to its original electric guitar line, and immediately distinguished itself with its unique combination of the Jazzmaster body shape with a shorter 24" scale and smaller, fiercer pickups. What began as a chrome-adorned surf-rock guitar in the '60s took on a whole new life in the '70s as the weapon of choice for punk, post-punk, grunge, and alt-indie guitarists seeking a head-turning alternative. The complex control panel, with a separate rhythm circuit, strangle switch, and floating tremolo, gives players a wide range of tonal possibilities. 

The Special Design Hot Jaguar pickups offer more output than the originals while retaining the bright, biting tone the Jaguar is known for. The bound rosewood fingerboard with block inlays and 9.5" radius also make this Anniversary edition a pleasure to play. In near mint condition, this is a beautiful example of this iconic and often underrated Fender model.

The guitar is in near mint condition with only minor playwear, and comes in a hardshell case.
