The 1966 Fender Jaguar is a classic mid-’60s offset electric guitar, prized for its distinctive styling, versatile switching system, and unmistakable Fender character. Featuring a 24-inch scale, two single-coil pickups, and extensive rhythm/lead controls, the Jaguar delivers everything from bright, percussive tones to warm, mellow sounds. As a pre-CBS-era instrument, a well-preserved 1966 example is especially desirable among vintage Fender collectors and players.
