(SOLD) Fender Japan Jaguar JG66-85 Black 2003
Fender Jag, black, crafted in Japan 2002-4. We often get these in red or sunburst, but a crisp tuxedo B&W example is a rare treat. The classic Jag ingredients are all there: slim neck, slinky short 24" scale, offset trem,. handy dual-circuit switching... all the things. The offset body is always perfectly weighted, so it just feels easy and fun to play. The Jag-jangle is on tap in spades, so theres heaps of chimey snap, balanced by a punchy, beefy low end that brings out all your right-hand attack nuances. These seldom last long, especially in a cool finish like this, so don't dither if you're keen.
