My main guitar
This is the only Jaguar baritone you'll find in 27 inches. Very interesting to be able to have a low tuning with this typical fender sound. I've used it on the recording of a doom album. Our guitars were ed in drop A. It was the only baritone guitar we had. This lady saved the recording of our rhythmic parts and add her magic little fender thing in the sound. It's a MIJ with a very good construction quality. And it's cheap. A must have!

If you ever consider selling it, please let me know. It seems impossible for me to get one and that's why I started molesting people online who claim to have one.

It has a Olympic White body, a Black pickguard and one Gibson Dirty Fingers pickup, Tom used this for Obvious
Judging by the tailpiece underneath Moreno’s right hand, this could be a Fender Baritone Jaguar. Could’ve been used around the time of Team Sleep/SNW, since during that touring cycle Moreno relied on a modified Strat instead of his regular ESP LTD Viper.
In this YouTube video by Daft Punk at 1:44, Julian Casablancas can be seen using this black Fender Jaguar Baritone Guitar during the recording sessions for Random Access Memories.
Beginning around 00:17 in this studio interview (recording the upcoming Thrice album), Teppei gives a breakdown of his Baritone Jaguar: “And so this is my Baritone here, which is a Fender. I don’t know, I don’t think they make these any more . . . [The pickup] is different from what they sell now. I think what they have now is kind of like a paired down version of this with a humbucker and . . . a little toggle-switch there. This is like a straight up Jaguar but with a stoptail bridge . . . just a single-coil pickup which I think is a pretty interesting pairing with the lower tuning . . . And then this is a Seymour Duncan Quarterpounder for Jaguar. I put it in there for a little more girth”
She is quoted when asked what guitar she would save if the house was burning down. "Woah. It's so hard to say, but I guess I would have to save the Jag Baritone HH Special, just because it was so hard to acquire. I love all my instruments and have very personal attachments to them all. I don't have any children or pets now, just tools. Each one of the guitars has its own songs hidden inside."
Dave talks about his Fender Jaguar Baritone at 22:40 in this rig rundown video. It's tuned in standard B baritone tuning, and predominantly uses the bridge pickup. He says, "Just the fact of adding the low B string just makes it sound so super heavy and it just adds a really cool groove to the song."
According to the Premier Guitar interview with Caws, he uses the Fender Jaguar Baritone.
