Ultra Luxe feline


This is the 60th Anniversary Fender Ultra Luxe Jaguar. It's now available here for $3,599. The Jaguar is one of those eccentric but attractive model Fender has to offer; fat single coils, shorter scale length, quirky whammy system & an even quirkier pickup switching options. But those are not found here in this model. In fact, it's a departure from those appointments; humbucking pickups, 25.5" scale length, whammy-less bridge system, D-shape neck profile & a flatter 10 - 14" compound radius. Yes, it's a commemorative take on the Jaguar but the least meaningful, I should say. It would also prove to be a difficult one in the after-market. For that kind of money, you're better off in a Gibson investment but then again, we are aware of the Gibson situation here.
