The Fender Jaguar’s unique Player II incarnation boasts not only exceptional quality at an attractive price point, but a simplified control layout that helps deliver the Jag’s classically distinct sound and visual appeal. The Player II Jaguar streamlines performances with a 3-way pickup selector and master Volume and Tone knobs for efficiently contouring its dueling alnico single-coil pickups. An offset body of alder matches well with the rosewood-topped maple neck, shaped to Fender’s modern “C” grip for even and familiar control in every octave. Setup for the stage, Fender has equipped the Player II Jaguar with an alignment of proprietary ClassicGear tuners up top to keep your intonation in check while appointing that timeless floating tremolo for wavy warbling throughout surf, shoegaze, indie, and more. The verdict among 6-stringers at Music Experience? With its exciting blend of vintage soul and contemporary convenience, this is one Jag deserving of a spot in any guitarist’s live or studio arsenal.

Experience the Jaguar’s phenomenal playing feel

With its offset alder body, the Player II Jaguar feels just as fantastic over the shoulder as it does atop the knee. Courtesy of the Jag’s slightly shorter 24-inch scale length, its navigability proves more manageable than its similarly shaped Jazzmaster sibling — a subtle yet noticeable difference, especially for smaller-framed guitarists. A total of 22 easy-to-access frets line the Player II Jaguar’s smooth slab rosewood fingerboard, resting atop a satin urethane-finished modern “C” maple neck for a pro-performance command that will beautifully suit hands of all sizes..

Dueling Alnico single-coils

Player series alnico Jaguar pickups equip this 6-string with an exciting arrangement that supplies Fender’s iconic single-coil attitude in a dual-position format. With an Alnico V model at the bridge position and an Alnico II model at the neck, players have access to a bit more lead position growl and tightness in response, reserving the rhythm position for tubbier, punchier playability. One of the biggest draws of the Player II Jaguar is its control plate, donning only a 3-position pickup selector with master controlling compared to the Jag’s ordinarily complex toggle array. Now, you’ve got those coveted Jaguar tones with on-the-fly adjustability to really thrive onstage!

Backed with high-performing hardware

Speaking of thriving onstage, the Player II Jaguar comes armed with superb hardware that promotes both dependability and hardiness for regular gigging. First up, Fender’s ClassicGear tuning machines lock in your intonation with stage-ready strength and precise 18:1 gear ratios for a vintage-style aesthetic that’s ruggedly reliable. On the body, a vintage-style floating push-in tremolo with a lock button allows for subtle pitch dipping with equal dependability, injecting your songs with expressivity to satisfy a multitude of genres. Working in conjunction with a purified synthetic bone nut, you’ll love just how perfectly this Player II Jaguar responds!
