Up for sale, a 2002 Fender Jaguar ‘62 vintage reissue left-handed model JG66-85L in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order. A left-handed iteration of a discontinued model, this “Crafted in Japan” Jaguar was produced exclusively for the Japanese domestic market, boasting a custom color Candy Apple Red finish with matching headstock.
Acoustically, this alder-bodied Jaguar offers a clear, ringing voice which translates well through the original pair of flat pole piece alnico magnet single coils. For surfy snap and twang, it's hard to beat the Jaguar, a model adopted by a huge range of genres for its cutting Fender tone and easy playability. With a percussive clarity and snarl in the bridge position and warmer, darker tonalities at the neck, there's a surprisingly broad range of tones available on the Jaguar, a range further enhanced by the Rhythm Circuit on the bass-side body horn (for even darker tones) and a high pass filter switch on the hexagonal switch plate (for more thinned out, treble-centric sizzle). This JG66-85L weighs 8lbs 5oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, where we specialize in Fender Offset instruments, with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
