The Fender Custom Shop Time Machine '64 Jaguar Relic: A Legacy Reborn with Modern Craftsmanship

A Guitar with a Legendary Past

Step into a time machine and experience the electrifying history of one of Fender?s most iconic guitars?the Jaguar. The Fender Custom Shop's Time Machine series has redefined the concept of "reissue" guitars by meticulously recreating instruments with the same techniques and tools used during their original production. The 1964 Jaguar Relic, part of this acclaimed series, captures the essence of a bygone era when surf guitarists and later punk rockers made this instrument their weapon of choice. With its eye-catching chrome accents, intricate circuitry, and distinctive offset body, the Jaguar remains a symbol of rebellion and innovation in the world of rock music.

A Vintage Classic with a Modern Twist

Originally introduced as Fender?s high-end model in 1962, the Jaguar quickly became a favorite among surf guitarists before being adopted by punk musicians in the 1970s. The 1964 Jaguar Relic stays true to its roots while incorporating modern enhancements. We here at Five Star Guitars have added our own spin by outfitting this Jaguar with a lightweight ash body and a super comfortable 60?s oval ?C? riftsawn maple neck, finished in a medium tint satin nitro lacquer. The triple-A rosewood fingerboard, vintage-style locking tuners, and an absolutely killer Faded Aged Mercedes Blue relic finish give this guitar a look and feel of an instrument that?s been cherished and played for decades.

Pure Sonic Power and Unmatched Playability

Equipped with a pair of Custom Shop '62 Jaguar? pickups, this short-scale powerhouse delivers crystal-clear tones rich with harmonics, making it perfect for a wide range of musical styles. The Jaguar?s famously complex circuitry, including the bass-cut "strangle" switch, allows for endless tonal possibilities, from smooth, bass-heavy rhythms to cutting, treble-rich leads. The RSD Jaguar? bridge and vintage-style "floating" tremolo provide superior tuning stability and expressive performance, making this guitar as versatile as it is iconic.
