The Jaguar was based on the Jazzmaster, with the same "offset waist" body and "floating tremolo" system. Like the Jazzmaster and Bass VI, the Jaguar has an unusual floating tremolo tremolo arm mechanism that was a complete departure from the synchronized tremolo system found on the Fender Stratocaster. This floating bridge concept was also later used in the Fender Dynamic Vibrato, another design used on the Fender Mustang. Intended as Fender's top of the line guitar upon its release in 1962, the Jaguar never enjoyed the popularity that the Stratocaster did. Many guitar players find fault with the design of the original Jaguar bridge, which features saddles that have many grooves cut into them (similar to screw threads). As a solution, many Jaguar players replace the Jag bridge with a Fender Mustang style bridge, which only has one string groove per saddle. The recent Fender Toronado line of guitars shares the same body shape as the Jaguar.
Variations
Fender Jaguar HH.Identical to the standard Jaguar, except that it's equipped with two humbucking pickups, a fixed adjust-o-matic bridge (similar to a Gibson Tune-O-Matic), and chrome knobs.
Fender Jaguar Baritone Special HHFender Jaguar Baritone Custom.More or less a combination of a Jaguar and a Fender Bass VI. It has a fixed bridge, a 28.5" scale length and heavier strings to achieve a tuning of E A D G B E one octave lower than standard guitar tuning.
