Up for sale, a 2015 Fender Japan Exclusive Classic ‘60s Jaguar in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A discontinued model and essentially identically spec’d to the JG66 model which preceded it, this Classic 60s Jaguar was crafted primarily for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside of its country of origin.
Acoustically, this alder-bodied Jaguar offers a clear, ringing voice which translates well through the 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 3oz, 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.
