Fender USA VINTAGE Jaguar '65 Sunburst/R

Carefully selected consignment items (sales on behalf of customers)

Following the Jazzmaster, which saw sales boom during the surf music craze of the 1950s, the Jaguar was released in 1962 as Fender's top-of-the-line guitar. It was heavily ordered in custom colors from the start, and it rode the trend well, boosting sales. However, the guitar's characteristics were not well-suited to the rock music that later became popular worldwide, and production was discontinued in the mid-1970s. Later, with the emergence of a charismatic figure representing the grunge/alternative movement, the Jaguar was rediscovered, and it remains a model that blends seamlessly into today's diverse music scene, making its presence felt.

The piece we have in stock this time was shipped around 1965 and is in excellent condition.

【body】
The overall weight is approximately 4.0 kg. The body is made of alder. The three-tone sunburst color, with the reddish areas moderately faded, is quite sophisticated. While there is some weather checking, dents, and other scratches, paint chipping near the elbow cut, paint chipping from the belt buckle on the back, and tarnish on the metal parts, it still has the feel of a vintage guitar, but is in relatively good condition. The neck pocket has been leveled and polished. The bridge saddle height adjustment screws and several springs have been replaced. The mute is currently removed but is included.

【neck】
The neck is made of maple. The fingerboard is made of rosewood. There is some weather checking around the headstock, slight peeling of the decal logo, and dents, but like the body, it is in good condition. The back of the neck has worn paint due to use, giving it a smooth, vintage feel. The tuners are slightly inconsistent in their winding, but they still function properly. The frets and nut have been replaced, and playability is excellent. The headstock is 15.2mm thick. The nut width is 41.3mm. The neck has a moderately thick profile.

[Electrical system]
The controls are on the main side (neck (front) pickup ON/OFF switch, bridge (rear) pickup ON/OFF switch, low-cut switch), and master volume/master tone), while the preset side (preset ON/OFF switch, preset volume, and preset tone) are included. While the output jack has been replaced, the other controls, including the pickups, remain in their original condition. The pickup height adjustment sponge has also been replaced. The 24-inch scale offers a distinctively crisp tone with a short sustain, along with a rich, responsive Fender sound with rich overtones.
