This item is no longer available. Please visit the Shop Online page to see the instruments, amplifiers and accessories currently available at our shop.
Very good condition featuring offset alder body with three-tone sunburst finish, multi-ply tortoiseshell grain pickguard, two single coil original Jaguar pickups, three position pickup selector switch and strangle switch mounted to steel metal plate with on/off slider switches, one volume and one tone control with two black Fender knobs and output jack mounted to elongated metal control plate, control plate on upper horn featuring on/off control for jazz circuit and knurled roller volume and tone controls, patent numbered Fender tremolo tailpiece with engraved Fender logo and lock, floating bridge with six individual fully adjustable slotted barrel saddles, maple neck, bound rosewood fingerboard with pearloid block inlays starting at the first fret, bone nut, enlarged maple peghead with Fender and Jaguar logos, single butterfly string tree, six in a line F stamped tuning machines, four bolt neck fastening plate with engraved Fender F and serial number, two metal strap buttons, and original hard shell case with black Tolex covering and orange plush interior lining (The raised logo on the case is missing part of the F - see photos). 

This '66 Jaguar has a cool vibe and a very comfortable neck profile. This guitar is 100% original and has not been modified in any way. All electronics, solder joints, frets and parts are original along with the finish on the neck and body. The frets on this guitar have been dressed several times and are fairly low, but the guitar is still in good playing order. The finish shows signs of play wear, particularly in the forearm area, and buckle wear on the back of the body finish. There is finish checking throughout the entire guitar. The maple neck is worn on the back from play wear and the metal hardware has some scratching and pitting. The pickguard has shrunken and is curling slightly on the bass side by the bridge (see photos). 

These block neck Jaguars are super cool and this one is no exception to the rule. It's extremely rare to find a '60s Fender guitar that has been played a lot and hasn't been slightly or extensively reworked. This short scale stunner is ready for a new home.
