(ARCHIVE) Used Fender Jaguar '66 Reissue Old Candy Apple With Black Guard
- Description
- Guitarchives
Fender Jag, old candy apple red with aftermarket black guard and covers, MIJ 07-10. This has a sleek look; the black guard really sits nicely against the deep blood-red of the finish. It's certainly appealing to the eye! The comfort and playability of the offset shape always delivers, it's very easy to pick up and immediately enjoy. The bridge pickup has replaced with a Seymour Duncan Hot Jaguar, so it's got a really sweet punchy midrange that sings with a bit of gain. Jags are always cool, this one just has a little bit of extra anime-swagger.
