The Squier Classic Vibe ‘60s Jaguar harkens back to this stunning short scale’s heyday in the 1960s, more than delivering on both vintage-style looks and tone! This guitar’s lightweight poplar body sports the iconic Jag body — a style that Music Experience guitarists find to be one of the most comfortable shapes around, both sitting and standing. Couple that with the Classic Vibe ‘60s Jaguar’s short 24-inch scale length and comfortable “C”-shape neck, and this 6-string offers premium playability at a wallet-friendly price. Fans of the Jag’s chimey, percussive sound will love how the Fender Designed Alnico Single-coil pickups deliver authentic jag tone, complete with a period-correct setup of a dark rhythm circuit and cutting strangle switch. Finally, no offset is complete without a floating vibrato, providing a smooth, vocal-like warble that’s graced the tracks of countless surf, indie rock, and shoegaze albums.
When you take the stage with the Squier Classic Vibe '60s Jaguar, you're in for a real treat. With its offset-waist body and colorful vintage finish, this axe not only gives your fans something eye-popping to look at — it also sounds stunning, thanks to a pair of Fender Designed Jaguar pickups that serve up a broad range of tone, from crystal cleans to gritty grind. This Jag's sound is enhanced by its poplar body, while the lightweight, offset design makes short work of your marathon gigs. But don't think of this Jag as a stage-only axe. Those very same sonic and ergonomic qualities also make the Classic Vibe '60s Jaguar ideal for spicing your recordings with scrumptious, unique six-string textures.
Speaking of tone, Squier has spec'd their Classic Vibe '60s Jaguar with a pair of Fender Designed Jaguar single-coils, routed through the unique Jaguar switching system — which includes comprehensive preset control over two distinct circuits. This produces a superb array of tone colors from crisp and clear to warm and chunky. You'll appreciate this Jag as a lead instrument, your high-speed runs facilitated by 6105 Narrow Tall frets and a 9.5-inch radius Indian laurel fingerboard. You'll soon discover lead-playing abilities you never knew you had. Comfort? The Jag's offset-waist body design — radical when it was introduced — fits like a glove, whether you're seated or standing.
Squier's tapped into something really cool with their Classic Vibe series — hot mods of classic Fenders, all sporting top-shelf materials and components, with primo fit-and-finish. If you're a guitarist or bassist, you'll likely agree that vintage Fender guitars and basses are heavily lusted-after items, so it's great that Fender, in their infinite wisdom, have set their Squier subsidiary free to create hot-rodded and affordable versions of the classics.
