Hey, this is John with Fender.
I'm really excited to show you the Vintera '60s Jaguar guitar
and the Jaguar Modified HH.
The Vintera Series is all about classic styling
and vintage feel.
And with the added Jaguar Modified HH,
you get the vintage look but with modern playability,
upgraded features that can be appreciated
by players of all styles.
Whichever model you choose, you'll
get a comfortable feel right out of the box,
and they sound great.
All right, so for the play-in, the guitar
was going through a couple of pedals that I have here.
We have some distortion as well as
some 63 reverb, and then into the 68 custom
deluxe reverb amp.
Let's check out some clean tones,
and then we'll get into the features.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right.
So let's take a look at the features.
We have an Alder body with a 24 inch scale.
This guitar is ocean turquoise, and it's also
available in three color sunburst.
The pickups, we have two single coil Jaguar pickups, voice
to be even more 60s accurate, really articulate tone,
and it has the classic Jaguar sound.
All right, so on the controls, we have your master volume,
master tone, and then your pickup on off switch
is down here.
So on off for your neck pickup, on off for your bridge,
and then this third switch is actually
what we call the midtone cut or strangle
switch, which cuts the mid-range across all pickups.
So let's take a listen to that.
We'll go with the bridge pick up first.
So here it is off normal.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, let's cut the mids here.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right, let's listen to the neck pickup, same thing.
So here it is off.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Mid tone cut on.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
And then on the bridge, we have a vintage style Jaguar bridge
and floating tremolo.
Up on the neck, we have a mid 60s C shape maple neck,
7 and 1/4 inch radius fingerboard,
and 22 vintage style frets.
And then the headstock, on the ocean turquoise,
we have a beautiful matching headstock.
And then you have your vintage style tuners.
Let's have some more fun with this guitar.
I'm going to add in the distortion, the delay,
as well as some reverb.
I'll go between the bridge and neck pickups,
and then we'll take a look at the Jaguar Modified HH.
Here we go.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So now, over to the Vintera 60s Jaguar Modified HH Double
Humbucker.
A few different things happening with this one.
Let's hear it, and then we'll talk
about the modified features.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So the color on this guitar is surf green.
It's also available in sonic blue.
Now, we can talk about some of the modified features.
So starting with the pickups, we have two Atomic Humbucking
pickups, increased output from the traditional single coil
sound, fat sounding but still articulate.
On the modified guitar, you can get the high gain fat
sounding modern tones, but you can also
get closer to vintage tone by utilizing
the additional switches.
So let's take a look at those.
We can start up here.
So the wheels on the upper horns select
between single coil and humbucking
modes for each pickup.
And then, taking it a step further, this switch here,
instead of being your switch to go between rhythm and lead
is actually a kill switch.
So in the down position, you'll cut the tone altogether,
a nice effect to use.
The switches down here are your pickups on and off,
so neck pickup on off, bridge pickup on off,
and the third slider activates a tone cut.
All right, let's start with the wheels here,
we can adjust these and listen to what
it sounds like going from single coil mode to humbucker.
And then, we'll use the bridge pickup for the demo.
So here is a single coil all the way down this way.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
And then, humbucker.
You'll notice a big difference there.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
And then our kill switch.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
All right.
Now, the switch is below.
So we can go there's no pickup on, here's neck on,
here's bridge on, that so the two together.
And then, your tone cut.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
So taking a look at the bridge, we
have an adjustomatic bridge, which offers better intonation.
And moving the tremolo a little bit closer to the bridge
helps provide a better brake angle and reduces ringing.
On the neck, we have a modern C shaped neck
with satin finish on the back, so your hands
won't stick to it.
Very nice.
We have a 9 and 1/2 inch radius fingerboard
with 22 medium jumbo frets.
Thanks for checking out the Vintera 60s
Jaguar and Jaguar Modified HH.
