As the former owner of a lake placid blue '66 jaguar, this post is giving me some incredibly nostalgic good vibes. It's so cool to see these vintage beauties here and hear a bit about how they came into the possession of the current owners. Incredibly jaguar you've got here, I won't be sad if you keep sharing additional photos of it. Great find.
Seconded.
Ask and you shall receive. Here's two pics compared to my '68 LPB Jag

It looks like yellowed LPB to me...
Here's a shot under the control plate showing the tan lines. Per the OTM XII SxS shot, it's aged a bit, but not very much.

Possible a silly question- how come there's like 0 finish checking? Given that metallic finishes are highly prone to it...
Oh, there's lots of finish checking. It's just very fine and tough to capture. Here's a good shot from the tummy cut. Also, this is the photo that best captures the color the guitar looks like IRL.
Oh man, I am dead...these two jags and the additional pics...so incredible. THANK YOU FOR SHARING

So, I think you folks might be right. I now believe this is OTM. I had a chance to get access to a vintage OTM guitar, an XII, and I took a photo with my Jag. It sure seems like these are the same color. I'm not sure why / how RobbyZ thought this was TGM, but based on the WSG strat pics above and seeing another OTM guitar, I'm pretty sure this is confirmation.
Im looking at the XII "which is fukin gorgeous" And im seeing what looks more like a LPB that has aged/greened a bit

It would be incredibly unwise to alter the guitar. You'd never match the paint. You'd do much more harm and monetary destruction. It's perfect as is.

i see. okay that makes some sense. i suppose it would lower the value as well. i like that it shows its age anyway
