(SOLD) Fender '66 Reissue Jaguar JG66-85 Candy Apple Red 1997-00
Fender Jaguar, candy apple red, crafted in Japan 1997-00. The Jag is a well loved classic, and rightly so. The slim neck, 24" scale and super comfy offset body make it an absolute breeze to play. Add in the famous dual-circuit electronics that offer so many possibilities, and it's easy to fall in love. This guy is in amazing shape for 20ish years old, the finish is looking superb. The grain on the neck and headstock is especially tasty, it's features some really pretty maple. This doles out the spanky, rich Jag-jangle with reckless abandon, it's very fun to play. You can't really go wrong with a candy-apple Jag, it's a guitar that looks top-notch on stage every time.
