This American Professional Jaguar has a \u003cstrong\u003e24\" \/ 610 mm scale length\u003c\/strong\u003e, making it shorter than the 25.5\" scale found on many Fender electric guitars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a 24-inch scale easier to play?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can feel easier for many players because comparable strings have less tension at the same tuning. The shorter scale also reduces the distance between frets slightly. Personal preference still matters, but it is one of the Jaguar's most distinctive characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat pickups are fitted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt has two \u003cstrong\u003eV-Mod III Single-Coil Jaguar pickups\u003c\/strong\u003e in an SS configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the push\/push tone control do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe push\/push function \u003cstrong\u003etaps the bridge pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e, giving you an alternative lower-output vintage-style bridge sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the Jaguar rhythm circuit do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this American Professional Jaguar, engaging rhythm mode puts \u003cstrong\u003eboth pickups in series\u003c\/strong\u003e, creating a thicker sound with increased output. Dedicated thumbwheel volume and tone controls let you adjust that mode separately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I switch both pickups on together?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The middle position of the three-way toggle selects the bridge and neck pickups together in the standard lead circuit. The rhythm mode provides an additional series configuration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Jaguar good for ambient and shoegaze playing?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. Its expressive tremolo, clear single-coil pickups and flexible switching make it particularly well suited to effects-heavy styles where reverb, delay, modulation, fuzz and pitch movement form part of the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the Jaguar differ from a Jazzmaster?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most obvious differences is scale length. The Jaguar uses a shorter \u003cstrong\u003e24\" scale\u003c\/strong\u003e, while the Jazzmaster traditionally uses a longer Fender scale. The pickup designs and electronics also differ, giving the two guitars distinct playing and tonal personalities despite their related offset shapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat string gauge is fitted from the factory?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFender specifies \u003cstrong\u003eUSA 250R Nickel Plated Steel strings in .010-.046 gauges\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the tremolo arm push in or screw in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Panorama tremolo uses a \u003cstrong\u003epop-in tremolo arm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes this guitar require a battery?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Its pickups and controls are passive, so no battery is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a hard case included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
