The alder body of the guitar with its characteristic offset shape is covered with a glossy polyester lacquer. A maple neck with a pleasing "Mid 60s C" profile and a pau ferro fingerboard with 7.25" radius and Jaguar's typical shorter gauge give you a period-authentic feel without any compromise. White position dots make it easy to navigate the fingerboard surface.
The sound, with the unmistakable Fender character of the guitar's two specially designed single-coil pickups, reliably evokes the golden days of emerging rock music. To modify it, a complex switching method, typical of Jaguar guitars, is used to select between two circuits (Rhythm and Lead). In the former you can activate both pickups, in the latter only the neck. The Master Tone and Master Volume potentiometers are used to modify the sound of the Lead circuit, while the character of the Rhythm circuit is adjusted by two rotary knobs (dials) with Volume and Tone functions. Further sound corrections (switching between pickups) are made possible by three two-position switches.
The strings are mounted in the company's proprietary tuning machines (Vintage Style) over a faux bone fretboard and in a traditional locking "floating" tremolo. The styling features are complemented by the company logo on the headstock and a three-layer pickguard made of imitation tortoiseshell, which also protects the instrument's lacquer from scratches.
The guitar comes in a high quality gig bag.
The Vintera series replaces the well-known Fender Classic series. It offers electric guitars and basses made in Ensenada, Mexico, that take you back to the 1950s, 1960s or 1970s. The sound, the design, the equipment - all of it is subordinated to the fact that they are authentic period copies. If you're looking for an affordable Fender guitar or bass, then there's no question.
