    Wow, is that what I think it is?! Yup, a 1966  white guard near MINT Fender Jaguar in very rare and unfaded, factory black…

    Billed as ‘faster and easier to play’ due to its shorter scale length and equipped with some of the most advanced switching options of any Fender to date, the Jaguar has always been a little bit at odds with its other stable mates but has always found favour in the underground. Even so, there is no denying the iconic look of the instrument, especially decked out in custom colours and covered in chrome.

    The first thing that strikes you about this guitar is the colour. So vibrant with very little in the way of wear on the body. It is a colour that is very rare for Jags and as such it is a very good day when one of these drops thorough your door as this one did last week. If you look closely, you will see the special and 100% original, truncated logo Fender had to use for these black Jags.

    There are just a few minor dinks and marks but they are small and I think anyone would describe this conservatively as near mint, even the case is too. Have a look at the pics and you will see for yourself.

    The early block marker neck is also pretty much unfaded and has has quite a thick, bound veneer board, a feature of early 1966 as they were perfecting the technique. It is also in mint condition with no wear on the fingerboard or the original frets.

    The hardware on a whole is free of corrosion and unmarked, the chrome retains that unmistakable gleam. Electronically the guitar is correct and all the solder joints (and yes, there are many!) look to be undisturbed which is always a welcome sight.

    Included is the original black Tolex case.

    The guitar sounds fantastic. Unplugged there’s a vibrancy that isn’t always evident in these offset guitars. Once plugged in, the guitar has a wide palette of tones available and both pickups work well so as to make any option a good one, again a statement that can’t be made about all Jaguars unfortunately.

    This guitar is certainly special. Looks to die for with tone to match. They don’t often get here in this condition so its a must for anyone looking for a custom colour offset for their collection…
