Fender 50th Anniversary Jaguar Candy Apple Red 2012
Fender 50th Anniversary Jaguar, candy apple red, made in Corona USA 2012. The Jag is surely peak hotness in the guitar universe, and this is a particularly scorching example. These were released as a one-year-only offering to commemorate fifty years since the Jag's glorious debut in 1962. You get some vintage Jag appointments: 24" scale, dual circuit electronics, offset vibrato, bridge cover, cool '66 style decals and bound board with blocks... tasty. You also get a few new ideas: hotter, snarlier 'Hot Jaguar' single coil pickups and the 1 degree angled neck pocket to improve the bridge break angle. All that adds up beautifully: this sounds terrific. It's a little brighter with more chime and sparkle than a standard MIJ Jag, but it also has this particular thick, clear low end. The rhythm circuit is even darker than a standard Jag too, so there's a really nice contrast between when you flick to the lead circuit. The neck is super straight and feels great; it's an easy profile to enjoy and heaps of fun in the hands. The combo of big block inlays and binding with the plain headstock really make the candy apple red pop. It's awesome to get an unusual model like this in such great condition too, it really almost could pass for brand new. Long live the Jaguar!
