NGD - Sherwood Green MIJ Jaguar!
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.

Stunning! Was really close to pulling the trigger on one of these but held off.

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?

Re: NGD - Sherwood Green MIJ Jaguar!
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.mediocreplayer wrote: ↑Fri Oct 08, 2021 3:09 amLooks great -- congrats! The specs say it's a "U" neck. Can you shed some light on that?
