Lilac Guitar Lounge is proud to offer this 1963 Fender Jaguar in its Original Sunburst finish. This guitar is worn in perfectly, and retains all of its original parts! This Jaguar absolutely sings, and is one of the more special guitars we’ve had in our shop to date. If you’re looking for that jangly, sparkly offset tone in an original Pre-CBS Fender, this is the one! The sunburst/tortoise-shell pickguard/dark Brazilian Rosewood fretboard combo is always a treat, even as the standard on 60’s Fenders. Jaguars are rising in popularity a lot in recent years thanks to artists like Mk.gee and others touring them, and it’s no surprise why! This Jaguar can go from sparkly, treble-fueled lead tones to bassy jazz box in the blink of an eye. We are so stoked to have this special instrument in the shop, so don’t hesitate to contact us and ask any questions you may have about this listing.
