Regular readers of this blog know that I rarelyevery highlight Fender, Gibson or Martin guitars liston on CL because they are usually priced at or above standard market value. But I am highlighting this Jaguar because if itis mostly all original except for the pickguard and some pots and switches (as the seller says) then it looks like a very good deal. You'll have to know you're way around a Jaguar to tell if it is the original factory nitro custom black paintjob and if th pickups and hardware are all original - but if so you'll be gettign a very nice deal on a '62 Jag for only $1500 (with the original case and tortoise pickguard as well).

This is an Original 62 Jaguar in Custom Black! This was only produced in 62 as a custom color by special order from Fender. The body has beautiful checking that the pictures do not do justice. It has been very well taken care of and is one of the best 62's I have seen in a long time. The neck is in pristine condition without fretwear, pitting on the rosewood fingerboard and is straight as an arrow which makes for super low action and phenomenal playability! The heel stamp reads Dec 62. Rosewood fretboard, Alder body, original custom nitro paint job. If you check ebay the body and neck alone are worth what I am asking for a complete working original 62! Also included is the original case which itself is worth quite a bit. Some of the pots and electronics have been replaced as they have worn out but some original features are still intact. For the age and and quality of this instrument it is a steal at this price as a new American Jaguar costs well over this. If you have any other questions please feel free to contact me. Thanks!
The pictures do not do this guitar justice!
Also included is the tortise shell pickguard. Motivated to Sell! I have too many old Fender guitars from the 60's and need to thin out the herd.
