Two more Contemporary Squiers for 2021, the Tele above is a HH model. Yes, the single coil pickup there is a humbucker. Together with the neck, these are the SQR models (Atomic / Rail) which will provide plenty of punch for modern drive tones. They should have equipped this guitar with a coil split option for some single coil moments but we know Squier has many other models for that tone type.
This is the Contemporary Jaguar HH & this sky burst metallic finish is simply awesome. Pickups here are also the SQR Atomic humbuckers. This one sports a 24" scale length so that's as Jaguar as it gets. Same thing, a coil split option would be nice because the Jaguar in its original incarnation, is a single coil beast.
The idea of an HH Jaguar isn't new. They used to have the Japanese Jaguar Special HH seen above in black. This one retained the Jaguar's original pickup switching. I used to own one, reason for selling - chose to embrace the Jaguar in its single coil incarnation instead. I feel the guitar sounds 'unique' in the single coil version, the humbuckers made it sound like other humbucking guitars; too many of those around.
