1966 Fender Jag

Post by gringopig » Tue Apr 30, 2019 8:10 am

Just got a new one today in a greened Lake Placid Blue. First one which is identifiable as post-CBS but it sounds and feels no different to me!

The clear coat has aged to a yellow and turned the LPB into a Sherwood style green. Looks nice!

Very tasty! It's got that real "Under The Bridge" video vibe :-*

This guitar is amazing and I need it!

This is really the only thing out there that I would trade for everything I own and I wouldn’t hesitate for a second, as shitty it would be to build back up to where I was. Just the perfect guitar, it’s amazing.

Nice score!
