Fender Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar IL 3-Tone Sunburst Electric guitar

Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar — Retro Offset Style With Real Fender Tone

Fender Squier Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar IL 3-Color Sunburst is a faithful recreation of the 1970s-era Fender Jaguar, designed entirely by Fender. The 24" (610 mm) short scale and slim "C"-shaped maple neck make this Jaguar comfortable for smaller hands and players stepping up from a Strat or Tele. Poplar body construction keeps the weight light during long sessions, while gloss polyurethane protects the iconic sunburst finish. This model is the right choice for guitarists chasing genuine vintage Jaguar character.

What Sets This Jaguar Apart

Two features separate this instrument from a generic offset. The specially-voiced rhythm and lead circuit controls reproduce the Jaguar's signature dual-channel switching — including the upper-bass "strangle" tone circuit — so players can move between bright lead tones and darker, neck-only rhythm sounds without touching a pedal. The 6-saddle vintage-style floating bridge with barrel saddles holds strings in their slots under heavy picking and gives the tremolo arm a smoother feel.

Body Construction and Finish — Poplar With Period-Correct Detailing

The offset Jaguar body is carved from poplar and finished in gloss polyurethane, delivering a balanced, articulate response with a finish that holds up to daily play. The 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard, aged-white pickup covers and nickel-plated hardware complete the 1970s look, while the 3-Color Sunburst keeps the guitar visually rooted in Fender's classic era.

• Body Material: Poplar — light and resonant
• Body Finish: Gloss Polyurethane — durable finish that holds up to daily play and resists minor scratches
• A 4-ply tortoiseshell pickguard provides period-correct 1970s styling and protects the electronics from pick wear.

Neck Profile and Fingerboard — Short Scale, Slim C, Easy Bends

A bolt-on maple neck with a slim "C" profile and 22 narrow-tall frets gives this model a fast, modern feel. The 9.5" (241 mm) fingerboard radius and 1.650" (42 mm) bone nut support low-action setups and clean bending, while the Indian Laurel fingerboard with white pearloid block inlays and cream binding delivers the CBS-era visual signature.

• Neck Material: Maple — bright, snappy response with a stable bolt-on joint
• Fingerboard Material: Indian Laurel — smooth feel with rosewood-like warmth
• The 610 mm short scale provides a slinky, easy-bending feel that is especially forgiving for smaller hands and beginners.

Pickups and Hardware — Alnico Tone, Vintage Switching

Dual Fender-Designed alnico single-coil pickups feed the Jaguar's signature circuit selector, rhythm/lead volume and tone controls, pickup on/off switches and tone circuit switch. The 6-saddle vintage-style bridge pairs with a non-locking floating vibrato and vintage-style tremolo arm for expressive string-bending, while vintage-style tuning machines and nickel hardware keep tuning stable.

• Pickup Configuration: SS — two Fender-Designed alnico single-coils
• Bridge: 6-Saddle Vintage-Style with Non-Locking Floating Vibrato — expressive tremolo with stable intonation
• A 42 mm wide bone nut delivers accurate tuning stability and improved sustain over synthetic alternatives.

Who Should Play the Classic Vibe '70s Jaguar

The 3-Color Sunburst Jaguar is the right choice for indie, alt-rock and surf players who want a genuine offset instrument with the Jaguar's distinctive switching options. Beginners will appreciate the shorter 610 mm scale and slinky string feel, while experienced players get a credible platform for mods. Anyone drawn to the look of a '70s Fender but priced out of the vintage market will find this model a smart entry point.

Squier Classic Vibe — Fender-Designed, Vintage-Inspired

The Squier Classic Vibe line is 100% designed by Fender, drawing from the company's archive of 1960s and 1970s instruments. The '70s Jaguar captures the CBS-era headstock markings, pearloid block inlays and tinted gloss neck finish.
