The result was a striking guitar of flowing lines and smooth curves, with a fully neck-through construction. In a last-ditch effort to keep up with Fender in the early ‘60s, Gibson commissioned Ray Dietrich to take what he had learned from designing cars and apply it to the world of guitars. Next up, we have the brainchild of Gibson and a retired motor designer, the Firebird. So, if you are looking for a well-made, stylish-looking guitar that is more than capable of standing up to the demands of gigging, then look no further than the Fender Vintera 60s Jaguar.ĭon't worry, it's not all Fenders on this list.

We must say, we have been mega impressed with the full Vintera range and the sheer amount on offer for the cash.
The 60s inspired pickups do a fantastic job of creating the chime you get from early Jags, and the rhythm and lead circuit makes switching between tones a breeze. The Vintera features a hugely playable 7.25" radius neck, while the shorter scale length of 24" provides a slinky feel, only found on short-scale guitars.
The Vintera 60s Jaguar gives you access to the classic feel and tone of a retro Jag, but without the mammoth price tag. Developed to appeal to the surf musicians of California, the Jaguar may look like the Jazzmaster above, but with differences in scale length, pickups, and switches, it has an entirely different sonic identity. Originally released in 1962, the Jaguar was Fender's top-of-the-line instrument - and one of Leo's favorite creations.
