The Fender Jaguar is an electric guitar by Fender Musical Instruments characterized by an offset-waist body, a relatively unusual switching system with two separate circuits for lead and rhythm, and a medium-scale 24″ neck. Owing some roots to the Jazzmaster, it was introduced in 1962 as Fender’s feature-laden top-of-the-line model, designed to lure players from Gibson. During its initial 13-year production run, the Jaguar did not sell as well as the less expensive Stratocaster and Telecaster, and achieved its most noticeable popularity in the surf music scene. After the Jaguar was taken out of production in 1975, vintage Jaguars became popular first with American punk rock players, and then more so during the alternative rock, shoegazing and indie rock movements of the 1980s and 1990s. Fender began making a version in Japan in the mid-1980s, and then introduced a USA-made reissue in 1999. Since then, Fender has made a variety of Jaguars in America, Mexico, and China under both the Fender and Squier labels. Original vintage Jaguars sell for many times their original price.

Fender Guitars “You Won’t Part with yours either” add campaign 1965

Jon Martin and Randy Nauert discuss shooting the iconic Fender Jaguar ad in 1965- "Newport, June 1965. Fender Guitars was launching their famous, 'You wouldn't part with yours, either!' campaign and hired me to get this shot… I paid [Jon Martin] a little money, had him sign a waiver. He slung the Jaguar over his shoulder, paddled out on his board, turned around, and took off on the first good wave. He stood up, whipped the guitar around in front, I snapped the photo, and he finished ridding the wave into shore. We got it, one wave, first take. There wasn't a drop of water on that guitar when he came in, either. We packed it back up, and it went back to the factory and got shipped." -Bob Perine,
