NGD - Sherwood Green MIJ Jaguar!

Post by chipbutty » Wed Oct 06, 2021 1:30 pm

Arrived today. Blown away with the quality. The gap
btw MIA and MIJ is practically non-existent esp
considering the price diff. Everything is perfect on it
including the fretwork. My MIA sized Spitfire tort guard
is a 99% perfect fit with the bridge thimbles only
slightly off centre of the PG holes but still fits over no
problem. I also put a Mastery on and it has USA sized thimbles.

This is apparently an FSR for Kinko Music's
50th Anniversary. Also a 75th Anniversary emblem on
the back of the headstock for Fender as a company.
Pickups are mellower in the direction of a Jazzmaster
rather than the plonk of a Jaguar which is perfect for
me. Def a 10/10.

Beauty. I'd love one but when you add delivery and other fees it would come in at over €1,500. About 600 more than a Vintera.

Looks great -- congrats! The specs say it's a "U" neck. Can you shed some light on that? Is it a thick profile?

I wouldn’t say its a U in the sense you are probably thinking. Fuller than a modern C but not what I would call chunky or a big neck at all. I dislike big necks and have no issues with this one. Smaller than a standard Gibson profile if that helps.
