What sets this Jaguar apart from other offsets?

Signature Coastline '65 Jaguar pickups provide higher output and a clear, punchy voice—ideal for both vintage and high-gain setups. Thanks to the advanced Greasebucket tone system, you can cut highs without unwanted bass, retaining clarity at any setting. A vintage-style floating tremolo and Mustang bridge saddles offer smooth vibrato and tuning stability, with the Faded Lake Placid Blue finish being exclusive to the YRS-23.

Short Scale Comfort and Modern Neck Profile

Prioritizing playing comfort, the 610 mm scale makes extended chords and expressive bends accessible for all hands. Glide across the Modern "C" maple neck with its satin urethane finish, while the 241 mm fingerboard radius and 22 medium jumbo frets support rhythm and lead work without fret out.

• Scale Length: 610 mm — shorter scale for slinky feel and crisp attack
• Modern radius of 241 mm allows low action and wide bends, enhancing your playing experience.
• Neck Profile: Modern "C" maple — ergonomic, satin-smooth

Vintage-Inspired Electronics for Versatile Tone

Classic Jaguar switching blends with updated circuitry for impressive tonal variety. Dual Coastline '65 single-coil pickups bring sparkle and punch, while the "strangle" switch acts as a high-pass filter for sharper attack. The Greasebucket circuit enables precise treble roll-off without muddiness, suiting surf, indie, or modern high-gain styles.
