Fender Jaguar 1965, Sunburst

Jaguars are often an overlooked member of the original 60s Fender lineup, with collectors and players typically leaning towards a simpler Strat or Tele. But at the time, the Jaguar was Fender's top-of-the-line offering, and for good reason. The versatility of these guitars is endless, from its jazz circuit, to its tone cut for bright chicken-pickin', that Jaguar can truly do it all. This 1965 example comes from a transition period in Fender's history. Its fingerboard still remains an unbound Brazilian Rosewood board like earlier specs, but the inlays have begun the switch from clay dots to pearloid inlays. This one remains largely original, with a swapped bridge and new nut being its only real notable modifications. Cosmetically, it has typical wear expected from its age, but nothing too substantial. Additionally, the pickguard has shrunk as these originals tend to do, leaving the neck pickup unable to fully clear the hole. This could be remedied by further routing the pickguard.
