Electric Guitar
with Original Fender Case
Used - Good Condition This '65 Jag is an absolute American classic and is a dream to play!Our single owner Fender is an excellent example of a well-loved instrument that was played for decades and has the perfect amount of "character" from those many years of use. This guitar truly feels and sounds "warm" and has a special charm not found in newer instruments.The Three Tone Sunburst is still bright and vibrant though does have several large patches of wear on the front and backsides, along with many assorted "dings" and "scratches," some of which do go through the finish. The backside of the neck shows heavy player wear and only the finish on the peghead remains. The fingerboard shows deep finger grooves up to the 10th fret and the frets too have "dimples" on the first five from the nut. Though these imperfections slightly hamper playing it is still entirely possible (and fun!) to plug this Jag in and rock out!All hardware and electronics are original on this guitar. The original tremolo arm and bridge cover are also included. Along with the original Fender hard case, the original leather strap and warranty card are also included! These are truly rare items and few stay with their original instrument it's entire lifetime!Despite the signs of countless gigs and jam sessions, this 1965 Jaguar is a genuine piece of American Rock & Roll history and is as much an investment as it is an awesome player. Fenders from the 1960s are becoming harder and harder to find and the prices keep skyrocketing. Our one owner Jag is a guaranteed winner, don't wait any longer!   Cosmetic and Functionality Description
Body: some easily noticeable wear in the finish can be seen on the top, back, and sides of the body, plus some scuff marks, scratches, and dings can be seen too, but this just seems to add to the charm and character of this guitar that's approaching its 50th birthday!; some light scratches can be seen on the pickguardNeck, Fretboard, and Headstock: the fretboard has some deep finger grooves up to the 10th fret which hamper the playability just a little bit; the back of the neck shows some heavy wear in the finish, but just has some very light scratches, however there are not any dings or dents to affect the necks comfortable feel; the headstock has some ultra tiny nicks to be found on the front, back, and sides and some light checking is visible on the back and a bit more noticeable along the bass side edge (next to the tuning keys)Action and Playability: the action is nice and low; the neck is straight and the truss rod functions flawlesslyFrets: moderate to heavy wear--there are some grooves on the first 5 frets, which do cause some slight fret out when playedHardware: the tuners have lost most of the "lustre" and have some very minor pitting in the buttons; tremolo tailpiece, bridge, and control plate covers look shiny and amazing considering the guitar's ageElectronics: all functions flawlesslyIncludes: electric guitar, tremolo arm, bridge cover, strap, and original Fender hardshell case
