Fender Jaguar Mid '60s Vintera III RW Sherwood Green Metallic

The Essentials to Know About the Fender Vintera III Mid '60s Jaguar Guitar

• Sixties Jaguar Spirit: short and snappy format, vintage look embraced, and typical controls to sculpt the sound in real time.


• Balanced Craftsmanship: alder body, maple neck, and rosewood "round-laminate" fingerboard for quick response, sharp attacks, and a well-measured Fender brightness.


• Two Mid '60s Jaguar Single-Coil Pickups: crystalline clarity, bite, and ideal articulation for percussive rhythms and cutting leads.


• Locking Vintage Floating Vibrato + Mute: smooth and musical vibrato, with the Jaguar mute to recover the muffled and percussive texture of vintage recordings.

A Faithful "Mid '60s" Jaguar at the Heart of the Vintera III Series

With the Vintera III Mid '60s Jaguar, Fender honors the aesthetics and feel of the 1960s models, while relying on careful Mexican manufacturing consistent with the vintage spirit. The Sherwood Green Metallic finish, the 3-ply mint green pickguard, and the "F" neck plate immediately signal its DNA: a Jaguar designed for those who want style, ergonomics, and historic features, straightforwardly.

For Whom and Which Styles?

This Jaguar is especially aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists seeking a true personality under their fingers: clear attacks, fast dynamics, and a wide range of settings. It thrives in surf, indie, alternative rock, post-punk, and more generally in genres where one alternates between bright cleans, precise crunch, and effects playing (reverb, delay, modulation), all while maintaining excellent mix clarity.

The Sound

The Vintage-Style Mid '60s Single-Coil Jaguar pickups deliver that typical tone: sparkling highs, tight mids, and focused lows, perfect for snappy chords and pick patterns. The "lead" circuit (master volume and tone) favors direct, incisive sounds highly responsive to attack, while the "rhythm" circuit, dedicated to the neck pickup via its knobs, provides a rounder, muffled color for softer textures. The "strangle" switch (bass cut) tightens the low end for more bite and definition. Finally, the vintage floating tremolo with lock ensures expressive and stable vibrato, and the mute adds a unique percussive signature, instantly recognizable on "vintage" tones.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To stay as close as possible to the original feel, prioritize a nickel string set .010-.046 (like the factory-installed reference), a standard guitar strap, and a good quality 6.35 mm jack cable to preserve the detail and brightness of the single-coil pickups.
