Greetings from Rhode Island

Hi Everyone.
My name is Joe and I live on the coast of Rhode Island, USA.
My first real guitar was a Jaguar that I bought from a friend of mine back in 1971. He had planned to refinish it, but ended up buying something else. The guitar was in pieces in a box and I paid $75 for it. My neighbor was an architect who played jazz guitar and banjo and he offered to help me refurbish it and get it up and running. I went over to his house everyday after I got home from school to work with on it him. As I recall, the neck was stamped Nov 1963. We finished it in natural and I played that guitar in bands until 1977, when it was stolen from my parents' house.
Since then I've owned a bunch of different guitars and built a custom Tele Thinline.
Now that I'm an old geezer, I'm feeling nostalgic for a Jaguar. My old Jag just felt "right" to me.
I'm interested in learning about the differences between Squiers, MIM, MIA, MIJ, etc. This forum seemed to be an excellent resource.
