Forrest White, Fender’s first Plant Manager, invented the rhythm circuit employed on the company’s offset guitar designs—including this refinished 1963 @Fender Jaguar Candy Apple Red—to be used in pedal steel guitars. While it was first deployed to expand the tones of the Jazzmaster models released in 1958, to help the new design appeal to jazz guitarists, the rhythm circuit designed by White also helped make the Fender Jaguar—introduced just a year before this one came out of the factory (with a different finish)—its crème-de-la-crème of guitars, ensuring that this top-of-the-line design was the most tonally versatile guitar Fender had yet produced!

More about the Jaguar!
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 short-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, Indonesia and China under both the Fender and Squier labels.
