Fender / Jaguar / 1965 / Sunburst / Guitar
|
1965 L series Fender Jaguar, serial L64680, Sunburst finish in good condition. It has a tortoise pickguard and a rosewood fingerboard with an unbound neck. It comes with a period correct case.
This is a lovely guitar overall, all original but for a recent refret and showing some typical wear but nothing too serious. The body finish has moderate checking but not too much in the way of play wear, just small dings and dents with one spot where the finish has worn away on the lower back edge. There is also some wear along the back of the neck, giving it a worn-in feel. All hardware is original and works perfecty, including the trem arm and mute, which is functional but the original foam has hardened as is typical. This can be replaced if desired. The new frets are narrow but slightly taller than the originals, but not so large as to be out of character for the guitar.
This guitar has been set up in our workshop with a fresh set of D'Addario nickel-wound 10-46 strings and a low action. The truss rod is fully functional with no issues. The neck is stamped Aug 65 B. Serial L64680. The pots both date to the 19th week of 65. Original black bobbin pickups. Weight 7 lbs 13.5 oz. Nut width: 41 mm. Depth at 1st fret: 20.8 mm. Depth at 12th fret 24.6 mm. 3-month warranty included.
The Jaguar was launched in 1962 as another top-of-the-line guitar in the same vein as the Jazzmaster. Both guitars shared the modern offset body shape and distinct floating tremolo system. The Jaguar differed in its use of a shorter 24-inch scale length and stronger single-coil pickups, which were encased in notched covers to shield the electronics from external radio noise (a typical annoyance with the Jazzmasters soapbars).Both guitars integrated a unique dual rhythm/lead circuit design, yet on the Jaguar the lead circuit includes three switches: on-off for the front pickup, on-off for the back pickup, and a bass-cut switch that adds an extra capacitor to the signal.
