This Jaguar in the “Candy Apple Red Matching Head” finish recreates a color specification that was actually produced in 1966.
The same matching headstock Candy Apple Red Jaguar was also produced during the Fender Japan era, where it gained long-standing popularity.
For reasons unknown, many of these models had not been reissued for quite some time.
Due to strong customer demand, this highly sought-after specification now returns as an ISHIBASHI FSR (Factory Special Run).
While the regular lineup features only a Basswood-bodied 3-Color Sunburst, this special model is upgraded to an Alder body, delivering a distinctive midrange presence with a slightly “chewy” and rich tonal character.
Combined with the matching headstock and the iconic gold “transition logo”, this is the classic Jaguar specification that many players immediately associate with the model.
This guitar is exclusively available through Ishibashi Music, so if you have been searching for this version, this is an excellent opportunity.
The Ishibashi FSR Made in Japan Traditional ’60s Jaguar features a gloss-finished alder body and a maple neck with a “U” shape, paired with a 9.5" fingerboard radius and 22 vintage-style frets, delivering the traditional playability that defines the Traditional series.
A 6-saddle vintage-style bridge with floating tremolo tailpiece, along with original pickups specially selected for the Traditional series, produces an authentic, musical vintage tone.
This series reflects solid guitar craftsmanship combined with specifications that flexibly respond to the needs of modern players.
