See? Now any of THOSE in the 60th Anniversary/Made in America/nitro guise and you've got me on the hook.
Me too.

It boggles the mind.

I dig the matching headstocks, shame I don't like any of the colors.

Yep.
I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

We were so close to getting a Roland S Howard Squier Jaguar!

I guess you could pop a blocks and binding CV neck on one of these new arctic white bodies. :D

Also, look where they put the top strap buttons on these things! wtf?

Jesus, a sparkly Jag with matching headstock at Squier prices is mighty tempting.

I'd say the same for the CFM if I didn't already have a CFM Jag :-[

Ohh.. :?

Why should I be casually checking this thread? Very tempting colors! The bigger problem would be to choose one, but I'd say charcoal first.

A Mystic LPB has been listed at Black Dot Music in Australia at an eye-watering $4899 AUD :derp:

https://blackdot.com.au/product/store-6 ... acid-blue/

"One of two of the new 60th Jaguar in Mystic Blue to come to Australia for the release."

May as well think about a Custom Shop once you're in that price range.

It says $4,453.64 when I click on the link. Which is £2375.44.... cheaper than the UK price believe it or not

Weird, here's how it looks to me:

With the high price and very limited availability, I guess Fender seem to be pitching these primarily as collector's items. Oh well.

Maybe it takes off the tax when viewed from an outside country?

Either way, it's in line with the prices elsewhere outside of the US - just by straight conversion.

It really is. I have no need for it but I can't say I'm not considering buying it :fp:
