Up for sale, a 2008 Fender Jaguar '62 vintage reissue model JG66 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. A discontinued model, this "Crafted In Japan" Fender was made primarily for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin.
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 6oz, 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 ambered gloss finish is smooth along the length of the neck profile, and there are two small cigarette burns on the peghead face (the instrument has no lingering odor of smoke).
