Dual vintage-voiced Jaguar pickups and classic chromed-out controls

Two Fender vintage-style ’70s single-coil Jaguar pickups imbue the Vintera II ’70s Jaguar with all the sparkle, chime, and depth you’d expect from a top-class Jag. You also get a complete outfit of vintage-correct Jaguar controls, which are far more straightforward than one might think despite their beaming chrome and unusual switches.

The control plate is home to your typical volume and tone knobs, while the 3-switch plate gives you individual on/off selectors for both your neck and bridge pickups, along with a bass-cutting “strangle” switch for added bite. Flipping the switch on the upper bout’s rhythm circuit disables all other controls on the guitar and unlocks a dark, moody neck-pickup-only tone that can be adjusted by the plate’s dedicated tone and volume roller knobs. The Jaguar is often seen as the underdog of Fender’s 6-string creations, but after plugging the Vintera II ’70s Jaguar in, plenty of guitarists would argue that it’s one of the most versatile guitars that Leo ever dreamed up.

Shimmer, sway, and glide with Fender’s “floating” tremolo

From subtle surfy sway to seasick shoegaze-inspired textures, the Fender “floating” tremolo system offers an expressive feel you can’t get anywhere else. And while the system is undoubtedly revered for its rock-solid stability and effortlessly smooth feel, it’s also a critical tonal element to the offset guitar experience. Why? The traditional Fender offset trem and rocking bridge setup features a lower break angle than many other Fender guitars, resulting in a sharper attack that quickly fades to make room for the rest of your notes. It’s a wholly unique tone from any other Fender creation and a surefire way to stand out from the crowd.

The epitome of ’70s Fender style

What’s so ’70s about the Fender Vintera II ’70s Jaguar? While our vintage disciples certainly appreciate 1970s-era voicing of the pickups, the true defining factor here is the black block-and-bound maple neck and fingerboard. Even in the ’70s, this was an exceptionally rare spec to find — which is unfortunate, as we’d argue that it’s one of the most eye-catching designs in the Fender catalog! This elegant neck is carved out into a late ’70s “C” shape to provide comfort and a familiar grip to any Fender fan, and you also get a traditional 7.25-inch radius for more period-accurate authenticity.
