Up for sale, a 2004 Fender Jaguar Bottom Master baritone model JGB-95SFZ in near-mint condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hangtags. A rare “Crafted in Japan” model only produced from 2004-06, this guitar features a built-in six-transistor fuzz circuit and a 28 1/2“ scale length (tuned B to B), providing an effective hybrid between a Jaguar and a Bass VI.
Tonewoods comprise an alder body, maple neck, and slab rosewood fretboard, and this guitar weighs 8lbs 7oz. The custom-wound Special Design single coil pickups do a great job capturing the natural richness and gutterul low-end inherent to a baritone, with a wide range of tonalities on tap. The neck pickup is bold, with good string-to-string balance and a woody bark, while the bridge pickup is more midrange-forward and growling. Located where the Rhythm Circuit would otherwise be found, the Bottom Master's built-in fuzz circuit is really the star of the show, similar to a Fender Blender in its over-the-top power, thick sizzle and harmonic overtones. This Jaguar Baritone Custom has been professionally dialed in here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with D'addario 13-62 Baritone Light roundwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
