Here for sale we have a Fender MIJ Jaguar JG-66 Electric Guitar in 3-Tone Sunburst finish. Made in Japan between 1994-1995, this bolt-on constructed instrument consists of an Alder body, a Maple neck, and a 22-fret Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include an aftermarket Buzz Stop Roller attachment for the tailpiece, Chrome hardware, Block inlays, vintage-style tuners, and a set of JG Single Coil pickups. These pickups are wired to traditional Jaguar controls.
The 'Oval' neck profile varies from the typical ‘C’ shape, slightly flattening out as you go up the fretboard, allowing for comfortable thumb positioning on the back of the neck as you play in the upper register. Around frets 1-5 the neck is nicely rounded, and along with its vintage accurate 7.25” fingerboard radius and 24” scale length making for a very comfortable guitar to play on.
The pickups are stock and are very well balanced across all frequencies. As per the 1966 spec this Jaguar is wired with 1meg pots which give you plenty of jangle. Each pickup has a dedicated on/off toggle switch on the lower shoulder of the guitar, along with a third ‘strangle’ switch which cuts low end, helping you to cut through the mix for pokey leads and janky rhythm playing. On the opposite side of the spectrum you have the often misunderstood and largely underused rhythm circuit. Activating this circuit selects the neck pickup and cuts treble, leaving you with a thick, dark tone which works wonders in taming overly bright overdriven tones. The rhythm circuit also pairs beautifully with ambient effects, allowing for dark and moody blooming trails that blend well in a mix.
Please be aware that for international buyers import fees are not included in our postage and packaging cost, this only covers the cost of the guitar being sent to you. Import fees will be charged by Customs upon the guitar's arrival in the recipient country. Due to Brexit, this also applies to EU buyers. We advise checking the total import cost with Customs as this is not information we are able to accurately provide.
