This instrument features an alder body finished in custom-faded Sherwood Green Metallic and a smooth, modern "C" maple neck with a satin urethane finish, making it equally at home on stage or in the studio. A 610 mm scale length, 241 mm radius rosewood fingerboard, and 22 medium jumbo frets ensure expressive bends and effortless movement. Coastline™ '65 Jaguar single-coil pickups capture the spirit of vintage Jags, adding clarity and extra punch, while streamlined controls and the Greasebucket™ tone circuit provide a broad palette of tones. Whether you play surf, indie, or alt-rock, the American Professional Classic Jaguar inspires creative expression.

Unique Features for Inspired Players

What distinguishes this Jaguar is its blend of heritage style with player-centric innovation. The Mustang-style bridge increases tuning stability and sustain compared to older Jaguar hardware, while the "strangle" switch delivers immediate access to a sharp, bass-cut tone. Visuals are completed by the custom-faded finish and four-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, which create a bridge between classic and modern aesthetics.

Tonewoods, Electronics & Playability—Built for Expression

Every part is selected for performance and response. Alder’s balanced resonance combines with a rosewood fingerboard and a modern "C" neck profile for an articulate, responsive feel. The short scale and medium jumbo frets make string bends easy, ideal for melodic leads or assertive rhythm work. Coastline™ '65 single-coils, controlled by a 3-way toggle and master volume/tone, give classic Jaguar sparkle and increased output for today’s sounds.
