Hi!!
I have an American Standard Strat and I love it, but I also want something to compliment its sound. I'd like to stay loyal to the Fender brand, but I'd also like to purchase something with that rich, smooth, Gibson Les Paul or PRS Custom 24 sound... I'm looking for less "single-coil" clean twang and more of that 59/09 sound, specifically. Something warm and creamy but yet, heavy and crunchy with added distortion...

I've been looking at the Jaguar... Specifically the Special Edition Jaguar HH or the new Jag Blacktop HH. Am I on the right track here? If so, which is preferable?

And if not, can someone please recommend another Fender guitar that will give me the desired sound I'm looking for?

Thanks so much an Rock On!!

Any double humbucker Fender will get you nearer to the Gibson/PRS sound. Obviously, no Fender will sound exactly like a Gibson, PRS, Epiphone, or simliar guitar. Besides the Jaguars you mention there are HH Strats and Teles too. Get whatever suits your tastes or budget.

I will say that the Blacktop Jaguar or HH Tele will be closer to what you are looking for because they are hardtail like a Les Paul. Jaguars have a 24" scale length if that matters to you. Gibson scale length is 24.75", PRS is 25", Strat and Tele is 25.5".
