Glide along the fingerboard with ease

Alongside the U-shaped maple neck, the Made in Japan Jaguar also features a rosewood fingerboard that provides a smooth and comfortable experience. Its fingerboard is adorned with vintage-style frets that are carefully crafted to ensure that each note rings out accurately, allowing you to get the most out of your playing. The combination of the smooth fretboard and frets makes it easy for guitarists to perform chords and intricate solos with ease.

Moreover, the glossy urethane finish contributes to its excellent playability. The finish is smooth to the touch, making it feel natural to play even for extended periods. Unlike matte finishes, the glossy finish doesn't stick to the hands, enabling you to move from fret to fret effortlessly. It also adds an extra layer of protection to the guitar, keeping it looking new despite frequent use. It's no wonder that this guitar has become a favourite among many musicians who value both style and substance in their instruments.
