Up for sale, a 1993 Fender "Order Made" Jaguar ‘62 vintage reissue model JG66 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. Hailing from the golden age of Fender Japan production at the Fujigen factory, this rare Jaguar is a non-catalog, custom-ordered instrument, finished in custom color Shoreline Gold with matching headstock. The Order Made program functioned as a sort of Fender Japan custom shop, offering a bevy of non-catalog features and finishes.
Acoustically, this alder-bodied Jaguar offers a clear, ringing voice which translates well through the original pair of flat pole piece alnico magnet single coils. For surfy snap and twang, it's hard to beat the Jaguar, a model adopted by a huge range of genres for its cutting Fender tone and easy playability. With a percussive clarity and snarl in the bridge position and warmer, darker tonalities at the neck, there's a surprisingly broad range of tones available on the Jaguar, a range further enhanced by the Rhythm Circuit on the bass-side body horn (for even darker tones) and a high pass filter switch on the hexagonal switch plate (for more thinned out, treble-centric sizzle). The guitar weighs 8lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Shoreline Gold finish exhibits subtle greening of the clear coat, and cosmetic wear is limited to some dings on the body, largely on the lower bout perimeter. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile has only a few shallow marks virtually undetectable to the palm while fretting.
