Squier announces new Vintage Modified Series Jaguar HH , Jazzmaster guitars
(Dave Molter | Posted 2011-01-09)
Squier is proud to introduce two new Vintage Modified series guitars that deliver time-honored vibe and great Squier look, sound, feel and value.
The Vintage Modified Jaguar HH guitar offers many of the same features found on the Vintage Modified Jazzmaster, including the offset waist and contoured body and ’62 Jazz Bass stacked concentric volume/tone controls.
,br>The top-loading hard-tail bridge features string saddles that are adjustable for intonation and designed to have a 9.5” radius when sitting flat on the bridge plate. The bridge is anchored at the rear of the plate while the front sits atop height adjustment screws that can be raised or lowered to achieve desired string height/action, while subtle adjustment at the rear (anchor) achieves the correct bridge angle. The Jaguar HH is equipped with Duncan Designed™ pickups that offer a multitude of “hot-rodded” humbucking tones. Other features include '62 Jazz Bass® stacked concentric volume/tone controls, vintage-style tuners and a comfortable one-piece maple neck with rosewood fingerboard.
With its offset waist and contoured body, the new Vintage Modified Jazzmaster® guitar honors its famous Fender® forerunner, with a few hot-rodded touches included.
