The Squier Contemporary Jaguar HH-ST is a guitar that combines the classic Jaguar design with modern features, making it a versatile instrument for a wide range of music genres.
Here are some detailed features of this guitar:
-
Body: The Squier Contemporary Jaguar HH-ST maintains the iconic curvaceous shape and short scale of the traditional Jaguar, which contributes to its beautiful playability.
-
Neck: The guitar features a satin roasted maple neck that feels like a nicely broken-in vintage example. It has a chunkier profile than most Squier C necks, evoking the feel of fatter late-'50s and early-'60s Fender necks. Despite its substantial feel, the neck is super-fast, which is one of the joys of short scale Fenders.
-
Fretboard: The fretboard is made from Indian laurel. It’s grayer in hue than rosewood, but continuous playing over a few years will likely darken the laurel in a lovely way. The fretboard has a flat 12" radius, but if you’re used to Fender’s curvier 9.5" and vintage-style 7.25" fretboard radii, it feels a lot less flat. The carved heel facilitates unimpeded access to the 22nd fret and the rest of the highest notes.
-
Pickups and Controls: The Squier Contemporary Jaguar HH-ST is equipped with a plethora of tone-shaping options in the form of coil-split and series/parallel switches. This guitar is built to deliver an uncluttered and elemental playing experience with a nice neck, a comfortable body, and accessible, intuitive controls that deliver tone colors by the bucketload.
-
Aesthetics: The guitar features a slick, glossy black pickguard with a silver overlay. The guitar’s classy custom-rod looks and an overflowing buffet of tones set this straight-ahead Jag’ apart.
Despite its stripped-down design, the Squier Contemporary Jaguar HH-ST offers a wide range of tones and is high quality for the price. It’s a guitar that will feel familiar and cozy to any Jaguar fan, and its thoughtful design decisions enhance its comfortable proportions1. Whether you’re a fan of punk rock or just appreciate the versatility of the Jaguar, the Squier Contemporary Jaguar HH-ST is a guitar worth considering.
