Fender Jaguar Mid '60s Vintera III RW 3-Color Sunburst

The Mid-60s Jaguar at the Heart of the Vintera III Spirit

Designed to recapture the aesthetics and feel of mid-1960s Jaguars, the Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Jaguar incorporates the signatures that made the model famous: short scale, dual-circuit electronics, and floating vibrato. It belongs to the Vintera III series with meticulous modern craftsmanship, ideal for preserving that vintage character while gaining reliability for stage and studio use.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

With its 24" / 610 mm scale length and Mid '60s "C" neck profile, this Jaguar is especially suited for intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a responsive instrument with a sharp, articulated tone. It excels in surf, indie, post-punk, garage, shoegaze, and pop, and proves formidable in clean funk as well as alternative rock thanks to its quick attack and ability to "cut through" the mix.

Sound Characteristics

The pair of "Vintage-Style Mid '60s Jaguar" single-coil pickups delivers a lively sonic signature: sparkling highs, vibrant mids, and tight lows, perfect for crisp rhythms and well-defined melodies. The short scale provides a softer feel and an immediate "snap" attack, while the 7.25" / 184.1 mm radius combined with Vintage Tall frets retains the vintage DNA while offering precision. The Lead circuit (master volume and tone) covers bright clean tones up to light crunch, whereas the Rhythm circuit (dedicated neck pickup knobs) offers a darker, rounder color. The "Strangle" bass cut switch refines the low end for increased presence, and the lockable floating tremolo enhances tuning stability during vibrato use.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

The guitar comes factory-strung with .010-.046 strings: a set of Fender USA 250R Nickel Plated Steel .010-.046 strings is therefore a perfectly suitable replacement option to maintain the intended tension balance and tonal character specified by the manufacturer.
