The American Professional Classic Jaguar keeps the 24" short scale, so string tension is lower than on a 25.5" guitar and bends come easier. It comes strung with .009-.042s. Two Coastline '65 Single-Coil Jaguar pickups under aged white covers run through a 3-way toggle with master volume and tone, plus a 2-position slide switch for the Strangle Circuit, the bass-cutting filter from the original design.
The bridge is a Jaguar bridge fitted with Mustang saddles, a long-standing player change on these guitars, and there's a vintage-style tremolo arm. The neck is a Modern "C" with a 9.5" radius and Medium Jumbo frets, the tuners are staggered ClassicGear, and the Greasebucket tone circuit rolls off highs without adding bass.
For the same offset idea on a full 25.5" scale, look at the American Professional Classic Jazzmaster. The Kurt Cobain Jaguar and the Johnny Marr Jaguar are two artist takes on the same body.
Faded Firemist Gold, Faded Sherwood Green Metallic and 3-Color Sunburst come with a rosewood board, Faded Lake Placid Blue with maple.
