Up for sale, a 1999 Fender Jaguar ‘62 vintage reissue model JG66-85 in 100% original condition and in perfect working order, finished in custom color Candy Apple Red with matching headstock. A discontinued model, this "Crafted In Japan" Fender was made for the Japanese domestic market, uncommon outside its country of origin.

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 JG66-85 weighs 8lbs 11oz, 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.

There is a small area of strap-related wear down to the silver base coat adjacent to the rear strap button, with a touched-up finish chips along the lower bout body edge. Cosmetic wear on the gloss Candy Apple Red finish is otherwise limited to some minor dings on the top and back. The smooth ambered gloss on the neck profile highlights flame figuring in the maple, with a few shallow nicks in the lower registers that are not distracting to the palm while fretting.

The original Fender-branded gigbag is included.
