You think you can't, you wish you could, I know you can, I wish you would. Slip inside this house as you pass by.

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Dude, stop hijacking the thread, and yes, I am being completely honest, here. If you ever consigned a guitar at a local guitar shop would you consider yourself 'affiliated' with them? I didn't post the Tele here, so not sure what you're trying to say, exactly.spiffy chap wrote: ↑Fri Nov 10, 2017 9:24 pmFor sure, lol.
I don’t care either way, but you aren’t being completely honest here.
The Jag isn't for sale and I don't work for/with ECG. It's a local vintage guitar shop, for christ's sake, I'm a guitar player and an offset collector.
Can you go Magnum PI someone else, please?

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Woop..nice find! I was trying to prize a similar IBM Jag out of someone in Germany a while back.
Will say it’s a bit slack of the shop to still be advertising it with a buy it now on Reverb and Gbase, when it isn’t even available.

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Unfortunately they do this all the time. This guitar for example was sold at LEAST 2 years ago, and possibly 3 or 4 and it is STILL on gbase. I emailed them a few times over the years but seems it's staying there.

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Yeah ... this happens. I remember my own '62 Jazzmaster being listed for sale from a guitar store in the UK after I'd bought it from an OSGer in Belgium! It had been bought in the UK some time before I believe and the necro ads were still live.FEXII wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 1:10 pmUnfortunately they do this all the time.

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Do you think they do it to look like the big dealer with loads of stock?
Leaving it on Gbase is not so bad, but leaving it on Reverb with a buy it now is stupid...that will just cause a potential buyer a lot of unnecessary annoyance.

I'm not usually that into figured wood, but that rosewood is flat out amazing

Can't believe that fretboard. Did it look like that when the guitar was new? Why don't we see examples of that today?

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Simple answer: they stopped using Brazilian rosewood (and now, largely have stopped using Indian rosewood as well). There's a reason there are so many BRW fetishists out there. I have a 00 acoustic and a classical guitar made of it, and although the internet will argue until the end of time regarding its tonal properties, there's no denying that it's simply a gorgeous wood.

Re: 1965 IBM Jaguar
Conservation is important but it's a bummer to see some of these really beautiful woods off the market. Lacey act made a lot of traveling musicians with vintage instrument nervous. At least they're not expecting customs agents to enforce rules and insure that a private individuals guitar is legit or not. Think of the possible horror stories!
