Up for sale, a 2008 Fender J-Craft Series Jaguar Special HH model JGS-78 in excellent condition and in perfect working order. This discontinued “Crafted in Japan” Jaguar features a gloss Gunmetal Red Burst finish with matching headstock, outfitted with a set of Bill Lawrence U.S.A. L-500 humbuckers.
Featuring an alder body, maple neck, and thick slab rosewood fretboard, this Jaguar has a clear, balanced natural acoustic response with healthy sustain. Favored by legends like Dimebag Darrell and Nuno Bettencourt, Bill Lawrence L-500 humbuckers are a powerful design famous for yielding powerful lows, crisp trebles, and remaining articulate with even the most crushing distortion. Benefitting from the myriad switching of the original Jaguar design, the guitar boasts a Rhythm Circuit on the lower body horn to thicken up the tone, and a low cut switch located on the hexagonal control plate to make things extra snappy when desired. Weighing 8lbs 3oz, this Jaguar Special HH has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
