Oops, I did it again *LANDED* Autopsy on Page 2

Post by JSett » Sun May 01, 2022 10:51 am

Because I'm an idiot, have zero willpower and can't stick to any kind of gear resolution, I have just bought another vintage Jaguar :fp:

Snagged on eBay for 2600, old refin and non-original pickups. I think - given the current offset climate - I've done okay if it all checks out when it arrives.

Hot dang... black Jag is the dream, old refin or not. Resolutions were meant to be broken!

It was, yes.

I might have to grab a nice LavaGuard for it as, as you know, black and tort is a match made in heaven.

Oh man! This is very, very close to dream Jag territory.
I'd keep the mint guard on it but hey, whatever floats yer boat :)

A beaut, and as you say, buying vintage isn't likely to get any cheaper the longer you leave it.

Hope it brings you more happiness than the money staying in your account would!

Money in the bank is overrated. I keep mine in a biscuit tin for the most part :D

So nice! Black with a matching cap is definitely one of my favorite Jag color schemes.

Nice get! :? Congrats & enjoy! 8)

Totally feel ya on the willpower thing. Seriously fighting the need to buy another vintage reverb unit that I absolutely don't need. It's a sickness - a fun sickness, but a sickness all the same! :wacko:

Oh hi, dream Jag. That's everything that I've always wanted in a Jag (just add a Marr style Tele switch...)

the tuxedo look on a jaguar is always my favorite. personally, i'd go for a nice aged pearl white. but i'm biased.
