Thanks, it is a really nice piece. I'm blessed to care for it until it's next home, many, many, years from now!

Re: 1966 jaguar
Some folks might poo-poo that type of late-60s burst finish (some call it a "target burst" because of the hard gradient transitions between Black, Red, and Yellow), but I LOVE it.
That's a perfect burst, and what a CLEAN vintage piece!

Almost forgot to mention
+1 to that dark red tortoise guard! Stunning.
That neck is also squeaky clean. Another example of a vintage piece that doesn't have a burnt-orange neck, but rather, one that is quite natural and pale.
Do we now if Fender was using Nitro, or Poly, on Jag necks during 68-70? Was there a year that was the official transition from nitro to poly?

Target burst or German flag sunburst...
A correct 1966 MUST have this!

Some time in 67. This neck is a 69 and it is poly, but it is thin, maybe 2 coats, no more.RockStarNick wrote: ↑Thu May 16, 2024 11:44 amAlmost forgot to mention

Re: 1966 jaguar
Damn what a sweet looking guitar and interesting provenance! Gotta be one of the cleanest Jags I’ve ever seen!
