Description
The Fender American Professional Jaguar Rosewood in Dark Night marks a fresh chapter in Fender's modern professional lineup. You've seen the original American Professional, the American Professional II, and the American Professional Classic. This refreshed American Professional Series keeps the model's distinctive 24-inch short scale for lower string tension and easier bends, while adding more flexibility through a bridge pickup tap and Series Mode rhythm circuit. The tap lets the bridge pickup move between a fuller, more powerful voice and a lower-output vintage character, while the Panorama tremolo and ClassicGear J-Bridge round out the updated hardware package. Tighter-tolerance pots and a treble bleed circuit on the volume control provide smooth, consistent operation while helping preserve clarity as you roll the volume back. The Dark Night finish, black pickguard, black pickup covers, and black knobs give this version the most contemporary look in the Jaguar lineup.
The Deep "C" maple neck features rolled fingerboard edges, a 9.5" radius, and Fender's "Super-Natural" satin urethane finish for a smooth feel across the entire neck. The 24" scale reduces string tension for easier bends and a compact response, while 22 narrow tall frets provide an easy balance between rhythm playing and lead work. V-Mod III Jaguar single-coils retain the sparkle and chime players expect, while the bridge pickup tap adds a lower-output vintage-style option and the rhythm circuit engages both pickups in series for a thicker, more powerful tone.
The Panorama Tremolo with pop-in arm provides a wide range of expressive pitch movement, while the ClassicGear J-Bridge helps keep setup, intonation, and stability practical for regular use. Fender staggered sealed tuners, a bone nut, and Micro-Tilt neck adjustment complete a hardware package built around reliability. We think the Dark Night version is a strong choice for players who want the most modern-looking take on the refreshed American Professional Jaguar without giving up the short-scale feel and tonal character that define the model.
