JG66-85 Japanese Jaguars - any good?

[Mad-Mike]

Can't really speak for anyone but myself but my 1997-1998 A-series CIJ Jaguar has been a true workhorse just as much as my 95' MIJ Jag-Stang has been. It seems around that time was right as Fender's Japanese operations started taking vintage reissues seriously. My 98' has vintage-style brass sheilding, not sheilding paint, brown tort instead of the pizza tort, and while I can't really comment on the pickups (cool rails in mine - still), that has got to be one of the most unshakable guitars I've ever owned having moved from a temperate climate to a desert and to this day I still have yet to need to do much of anything for a setup to keep it right where I like it. Only changes are pots, tuners, and the pickups, and the tuners were pre-emptive as I prefer Kluson Revolution split-shafts to anything else.
