NGD: 1964 Lake Placid Blue Jaguar
Posted: Sun Aug 16, 2020 7:05 am
Just wanted to share a new arrival to my house this week. It's a late(ish) 1964 Jaguar in original Lake Placid Blue metallic finish and matching headstock. I'm calling it late due to the serial number as well as the presence of pearl dots, whereas my earlier '64 Jag had clay dots and a lower serial. The neck on this one is a bit slimmer as well, but not by that much.
After raising the bridge pickup a bit, I'm really loving the both pickups in this one. The bridge has just the right amount of brightness and clarity and the neck is nice and sweet/chunky. The only thing I'm not digging so much is the out-of-phase sound with both pickups on. My previous '64 Jag sounded noticeably better on that setting, but I can get most of that sound from my Strat.
Here are some pics that I took on Thursday (actually, the first pic was from Wednesday night when I first got it and was taking it for a spin). Enjoy!

The buzz stop was on there when I bought it. I'm planning to try it without it when I change the strings. You guys are a lot more knowledgeable on offsets than I am, so it sounds like there's a good chance that I'll like it more without it.
