Up for sale, a 1999 Fender Jaguar '62 vintage reissue model JG66-85 in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. This "Crafted In Japan" discontinued model was made for the Japanese domestic market and select international territories, uncommon outside its country of origin and featuring a gloss Lake Placid Blue finish with matching headstock.
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). This JG66-85 Jaguar weighs 8lbs 4oz, 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 Lake Placid Blue finish is the notably bold and vibrant variety seen on early Made- and Crafted-era Fender Japan examples, exhibiting subtle greening of the clear coat. Cosmetic wear is limited to light buckle wear central to the back, one chip on the bass-side perimeter, and some small dings on the rest of the body. The ambered gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean, with only a few shallow marks.
A Fender-branded gigbag is included.
***We are dealers for the Mastery bridge (M2 and M10), OMV-P Offset Vibrato, and Lollar pickups, any or all of which can be installed prior to shipment for an additional charge***
