Hello,

Not interested in buying, but just out of curiosity, is a unbound neck common on a 1966 Jaguar?

This is a Mustang neck (heel code 16). Fender went to d&b on original Jag headstock shape necks in mid ‘65. The CBS headstock shape didn’t Start until late ‘65. By then, all Jag necks with a CBS headstock would have had binding.
