Description
This 1966 Fender Jaguar guitar boasts an alder body, showcasing a striking 3-tone finish. The finish features a distinct black border that seamlessly transitions into a vibrant red stripe, eventually fading into a mellow yellow. Recognized as the “Clown Burst,” the Fender Jaguar Sunburst’s bold red outline is a defining characteristic.
The rosewood fingerboard, dark and tightly grained, enhances the guitar’s aesthetic appeal. The “C” neck profile by Fender leans towards the slimmer side, facilitating effortless thumb wrapping around the shoulder for the player’s comfort. The jaguar pickups deliver a classic 60’s-style twang, especially with the bridge pickup, while combining it with the neck pickup produces a broader, deeper tone suitable for both clean and overdrive settings.
In very good condition, this vintage Fender 1966 Jaguar Solid Body Electric Guitar in 3 Color Sunburst exhibits signs of dings and dents on the body, notably from its time in a Parker bodyguard that left a ring. The neck displays some visible dings and dents, but overall cleanliness prevails. Checking marks on both the front and back of the headstock add to its vintage character, and the aged neck binding has taken on a faint yellow hue, showcasing its resilience over the years. Although the frets are low, they retain sufficient life.
Encased in its original black tolex hard shell case, this Fender Jaguar comes with functional latches and minimal signs of wear, attesting to the case’s durability over the years.
