I paid...$3.5kUSD ...in April...for a 1965 in much better condition, off the wall at a guitar center. No way is a 3x hike justifiable for a couple years

Re: Cheapest way into a vintage offset?
but does your 1965 feature
?a Brazilian rosewood fretboard, flat pole piece black bobbin pickups, a nitrate tortoise pickguard, and clay dot inlay on the fingerboard. With a particularly vibrant and saturated three-tone Sunburst finish, this guitar embodies golden era Fender quality, and will satisfy serious players and discerning collectors alike.
There's an unmistakable acoustic resonance and clarity with this Jaguar, and the warmth and string to string balance of the acoustic signal translates well through the pickups. The top of the line Fender model when introduced in '62, the Jaguar has a particularly wide range of tones available to the player, while living up to its reputation of being able to out-twang a Tele and deliver sparkling, glassy cleans like no other Fender can. This is also one of the warmest sounding Jaguars we've ever encountered, with a distinct breadth to the tone and heft in the bass register.
That "heft in the bass register" is worth it alone.

So it sounds like a Jaguar. Wow.

Sounds like some seriously hefty heft. $10k is a STEAL!

There's an jangly unplugged sound to this Jaguar, and the sound translates into the pickups thanks to physics. introduced in '62, the Jaguar has a wide range of tones available to the player, while living up to its reputation of being not as well-received as the Tele and able to deliver normal Fender cleans like this particular model was designed to do.

This is hilarious! I think I've gone from being really annoyed by M&M, to admiring them for the comedic value of their write-ups. It's like a Mad Libs book where every blank says "3-syllable adjective" underneath.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 10:44 pmFixed it.cestlamort wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 4:38 pma rosewood fretboard, uncompensated pole piece pickups, a fake tortoise pickguard, and fibreboard inlay on the fingerboard.
