Leo Fender’s second offset offering took surf music, and later the alt-rock world, by storm. Huw Price spends some time taming an exotic jungle cat.Mechanically activated string ‘mutes’ or dampeners were a popular feature on many guitars at the time, but the Jaguar was the first Fender model to have one onboard. It’s a spring-loaded device, with a foam strip that lifts to butt up against the strings. The Jaguar was Fender’s first model with an integral string mute. It’s great if you want to sound like Luther Perkins. The pickups have a very different shape to the Jazzmaster’s, as Fender opted for a taller, narrower coil. It may look much like a Strat pickup, but the covers and flatwork shapes and sizes are not the same – plus, Fender used a notched metal surround to minimise hum – often called ‘the claw’.
