!!NGD!! 1965 Jaguar - Did I mention it's a LEFTY!

Words or pictures can't even describe how awesome this guitar is. Arrived yesterday, but couldn't open it until just a few hours ago. All original except for the bridge and a refret, but I have an original era bridge for it. Behold!

They pop up every few years, and when they do, you've gotta pounce on them! So glad I was able to do so this time around. Later I'll post a group shot with this guys siblings ;D

I love that Fender used the same decal on the left and right handed guitars.
