Fender Jaguar Pickup Circuitry

Control Schema

In addition to the wide tone variations that may be achieved with the Jaguar pickup circuit, it also offers you the advantage of being able to pre-set your Rhythm and Lead circuits so that they may be rapidly selected with the circuit selector switch without need for further tone and volume adjustment.

The Lead circuit is activated with the two¬position circuit selector on the left side of the neck moved toward the neck. This circuit can be further modified with the three two-position switches on the right side of the body. The first and second switches turn the top and bottom pickups off and on. The lower two-position switch is a tone modification switch for either one or both of the pickups. Further tone modification of this circuit is achieved with the tone control knob next to the input jack. The volume control knob for the Lead circuit is located just above the tone control.

The Rhythm tone circuit is activated with the two-position circuit selector switch positioned away from the neck. Two roller-type surface controls provide for the tone and volume variations of this circuit. The surface control nearest the neck controls the volume of the Rhythm circuit, and the other modifies the tone.

By pre-setting the tone and volume controls of the Lead and those of the Rhythm circuit, fast changes from lead to rhythm or rhythm to lead can be made, eliminating the necessity of further tone or volume adjustments. Thus there is no interruption in your playing.
