Fender Custom Shop '66 Jaguar Deluxe Closet Classic Electric Guitar Aztec Gold

The Fender Custom Shop '66 Jaguar Deluxe Closet Classic electric guitar meticulously recreates one of the most unique offset designs of the '60s. This premium reissue honors the original Jaguar's idiosyncratic tone and feel while adding modern refinements that make it an inspiring instrument for today's players. Whether you crave that elusive Jaguar jangle or just appreciate finely-crafted vintage-vibed guitars, the '66 Jaguar Deluxe has you covered.

Vintage-Spec Construction With Modern Refinements

Fender's master builders pulled out all the stops to make the '66 Jaguar Deluxe feel like a relic from the swinging '60s. The 2-piece alder body and quartersawn maple neck transport you back to the era. A 24" scale length rosewood fingerboard with 22 jumbo frets provides that unmistakable vintage playing feel. Yet premium features like the Schaller tuners, bone nut and Adjusto-matic bridge with floating tremolo ensure this Jaguar stays in tune and plays buttery smooth.

Pair of Single-Coil Pickups Produce Iconic Tone

At the heart of the '66 Jaguar Deluxe are a pair of hand-wound Custom Shop '62 single-coil Jaguar pickups. These authentic reproductions nail the bright, chimey character that made the originals a favorite of surf rockers and indie artists alike. The bridge pickup serves up vintage Jaguar twang, while the neck pickup offers a smooth, round counterpoint. Better yet, the independent "lead" and "rhythm" circuits allow you to combine these distinct voices in unique ways for extraordinarily versatile tones.

Dual Circuit Design Unlocks Tonal Versatility

One aspect that made the original Jaguars so special was the dual circuit design with separate "lead" and "rhythm" controls. In "lead" mode, you get independent volume knobs for each pickup plus a master tone. Switch to "rhythm" and you can dial in the perfect blend of pickup volume and tone for chording using the unique thumbwheel controls. Having these two distinct voicings at your fingertips makes the '66 Jaguar Deluxe incredibly expressive and adaptable to any playing style.

Deluxe Appointments For Stage And Studio

This Custom Shop reissue leaves no detail overlooked in its quest for authentic '60s Jaguar vibe. The nickel/chrome hardware, 4-ply brown shell pickguard and vintage-style black control knobs are period-accurate. Nitrocellulose lacquer on the body and neck replicates the thin, resonant feel of originals. And the included deluxe hardshell case, strap and certificate of authenticity make it gig-ready. With the '66 Jaguar Deluxe, you're getting a museum-quality reissue built to the exacting standards of Fender's acclaimed Custom Shop.
