 I Say:Visually stunning.  The Candy Apple finish is in great from two small chips and two small dents (shown in the photos).  Sonically fantastic.  The case has all the paperwork, allen keys, Fender lead, Tremolo Arm etc….  …. I seriously question whether this guitar has ever been used – it even still has the plastic over the pick guard!The Jaguar wiring is a mystical creature, but basically think of it as:A lead/rhythm selector switch on the upper bout.Switched UP this selects the Rhythm circuit roller controls on the upper bout.  The foremost of these is the volume, the rearmost is tone.Switched DOWN it selects the Lead Circuit, using the more traditional control knobs on the lower bass bout, volume and tone as normal.The three switches on the lower bout  – the foremost one is the neck pickup on/off switch, the middle turns the bridge pickup on/off.  The rearmost one modifies the lead tone – it sounds a little like a phase reversal.The rear of the neck has been stripped / relic-ed, I’ve oiled this and it feels incredibly smooth to play.  I have been very surprised by the tone of the pickups – it’s much fuller than the sound I’ve heard from Strats, and can sound remarkably bluesy.All electronics are crackle free and fully functional.Original Fender Hard Case is in great condition.These are over £1500 new – and this is so nearly new apart from the chips!
