This was the second Jaguar I bought from Johnnie and shortly after and to his horror, I had it re-fretted, with new nut.

​

It had been re-crowned so many times, the treble side of the frets were almost flat to the fretboard and although it played fine, it was not a good experience; with fingertips squeaking on the board.

I think that guitars need to be played and need to play well.

​

It has also had a Staytrem bridge, tremelo arm and collet fitted but the originals are easily put back and have been stored in the original black Fender no logo case.

​

The guitar features late pre-CBS features of pearloid dot markers, unbound neck, L series neck plate and staggered pole piece pickups.

​

The finish has checked through time, especially on the back and this is typical on original nitro cellulose finished guitars.

​

The Brazilian rosewood fingerboard also has a most unusual figuring!

This was originally sold to Johnnie by Gary Dick of Gary's Classic Guitars in Ohio.
