1963 Fender Jaguar Pre-CBS Vintage Offset Guitar Shell Pink w/ Case

Description: Up for sale, a 1963 Fender Jaguar in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, refinished in Shell Pink nitro lacquer. A genuine Pre-CBS example hailing from the second year of the Jaguar's production run, this guitar sports a bevy of early features including a wide bevel tortoise nitrate pickguard, Brazilian rosewood fretboard with clay dot inlay, and hand-wound pickups. Weighing 8lbs 2oz, this Jaguar features an alder body and a prominently figured flame maple neck. As the top of the line Fender model when introduced in '62, the Jaguar has a particularly wide range of tones available to the player, while living up to its reputation of being able to out-twang a Tele and deliver sparkling, glassy cleans like no other Fender can. The bridge pickup has flat alnico pole pieces, delivering a powerful, punchy sound with a chewy spank. The neck pickup has a combination of black and gray fiber flatwork (likely a replacement circa 1964), featuring staggered poles and delivering a sound that's quite thick and meaty. Each pickup position is very distinct, and these tones are further broadened by the Low Cut two-way toggle and Rhythm Circuit, which make the signal notably brighter and fatter/darker, respectively. This Jaguar benefits from a professional setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Cosmetic wear is limited to very faint buckle rash central to the lower bout, a few minor dings along the lower bout perimeter, and just a couple tiny nicks on the top. The smooth ambered nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless, highlighting flame figuring extending along the profile length. A vintage Fender-branded (non-original) black tolex hardshell case is included.
