1997 Fender Order Made Jaguar '62 Vintage Reissue JG66 Black + Headstock, Japan CIJ

$2,499.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 1997 Fender "Order Made" Jaguar ‘62 vintage reissue model JG66 in excellent, 100% original condition, finished in custom color Black with matching headstock. This Order Made Jaguar is a non-catalog custom-ordered instrument. Rare and long ago discontinued, Fender Japan's Order Made program functioned as a sort of 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 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Black finish has one touched-up chip on top on the forearm contour, with a couple additional finish chips at the lower bout perimeter and some minor dings on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth ambered gloss, with a few shallow marks along the profile length that are not distracting to the palm while fretting. There is also a small doweled hole for mounting an extra strap button on the back of the headstock.

The original faux leather padded gigbag (a premium add-on in 1997) is included.
