1963 Fender Jaguar Sunburst
This clean 1963 Fender Jaguar has just come in from the family of its original owner! It has all the great early Jaguar features including the flat pole pickups, clay dots, dark chocolate fretboard, and cream tolex case with black leather ends. It's completely original throughout except for new foam and neck shim. It's a spectacular playing example after a light cleaning and set up.
