Fender Jaguar American Professional, RW Dark Night

A Modernized Jaguar for the Demands of the Stage

The Fender American Professional Jaguar is the result of more than sixty years of evolution of this iconic short-scale model. It retains the immediately recognizable identity of the Jaguar, with its lively brilliance, sharp attack and expressive vibrato, while evolving its essential features to meet the needs of today’s guitarists.

This professional version prioritizes comfort, stability and versatility. Its redesigned neck heel facilitates access to the highest frets, while its streamlined yet versatile electronics allow you to move quickly from an incisive clean sound to a denser texture. This is a Jaguar designed as a genuine working tool, equally at home in the studio or on stage.

An Inspiring Electric Guitar for Demanding Guitarists

This Jaguar is primarily aimed at intermediate and advanced guitarists looking for a characterful, comfortable electric guitar capable of covering a wide range of styles. Its 24" / 610 mm scale length reduces the tension felt under the fingers—an appreciable advantage for bends, left-hand vibrato, extended chords and long playing sessions.

It will naturally find its place in alternative rock, indie rock, surf, garage, pop, post-punk and atmospheric music. Thanks to its series rhythm circuit and bridge pickup with switchable output level, it can also handle thicker, more saturated parts without losing the clarity characteristic of Jaguar single-coil pickups.

Jaguar Chime, Combining Vintage Precision with Modern Power

The alder body provides a balanced tonal foundation, with present mids, well-controlled lows and a responsive attack. Combined with the rosewood key and maple neck, it supports the instrument’s lively character while retaining a beautiful warmth, particularly noticeable thanks to the short scale length.

The two V-Mod III Jaguar single-coil pickups deliver the snap, definition and chime expected from this type of guitar. The neck pickup lends itself to expansive clean sounds, detailed arpeggios and slightly veiled textures. The bridge pickup provides extra bite for riffs, percussive chords and saturated sounds. Its Push/Push system, integrated into the tone control, lets you choose between a more powerful, generous response and a lower output level geared toward a vintage color.

The 3-position selector lets you use the bridge pickup, both pickups or the neck pickup. When the rhythm circuit is activated, the two pickups are placed in series to produce a thicker, denser and more powerful signal, adjustable with its own volume and tone wheels. The Panorama Tremolo expands the vibrato possibilities, from the subtle undulations characteristic of the Jaguar to deeper dives, while the ClassicGear J-Bridge helps preserve intonation, stability and sustain.
