Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar Candy Apple Red RW Candy Apple Red RW

General

Bring out your swimwear and put on some surf music as Squier presents the all-new Candy Apple Red Vintage Modified Jaguar. This red-metallic guitar is a copy of Fender's original '62 Jaguar, at a surprisingly smaller price. The Jaguar quickly gained popularity among surf-scene guitarists, thanks to its special asymmetrical shape and tight, clear sound. Nowadays, this guitar can also be heard in many other types of music such as country, punk and rock. To modify this guitar, Squier opted for a set of powerful Duncan Designed single-coil pickups and a relatively flat fretboard radius for improved playability.

The Squier Vintage Modified Jaguar's features

The Candy Apple Red Vintage Modified Jaguar features a basswood body and a bolt-on maple neck. The back of the neck has a vintage-tint lacquer finish and the rosewood fretboard contains cream-coloured 'clay dot' position markers for an authentic look. The Jaguar has a 24-inch scale length, making it a little shorter than a Tele or Strat, for instance, and thus ideal for smaller guitarists. In addition to the two tight and clear sounding Seymour Duncan designed pickups, the Vintage Modified is equipped with an adjustable bridge and a floating vibrato tailpiece with a vintage-style tremolo arm. This allows you to influence string tension, and therefore the height of the tones, to create subtle or dramatic vibrato effects.

Versatile dual-circuit tone control

A distinctive feature of Jaguar guitars is their dual independent tone circuits. A slider switch above the neck pickup turns the rhythm circuit on or off, allowing you to just use the neck pickup and have the two horizontal disc knobs function as volume and tone controls. In the rhythm mode the neck pickup also sounds slightly darker than when in lead mode. Engage the Lead circuit and the two black potentiometers below the bridge function as volume and tone controls, while the three little slider switches enable you to turn the neck and/or bridge pickup on or off, and switch on an alternative circuit that'll give the guitar a fiercer sound that is ideal for cutting through the mix.

The Squier brand

Ever since Fender introduced their first electric guitar in the fifties, many competing manufacturers have produced cheap imitations of varying quality. To offer the same reliability, sound and playability of the original at a reasonable price, Fender started a subsidiary in 1982: Squier (not to be confused with the Fender Esquire!). Squier's guitars and bass guitars are built under supervision and to specifications of Fender itself, so that you can rely on the fact that you are purchasing an authentic, high-quality instrument.
