Well, I somehow stumbled upon another old Fender that lost its neck sometime in the last decades..
This superb 1964 Jaguar apparently was robbed of its neck to save... a Mustang, back in the early 1990s..
I need a late 1963, or 1964 neck to complete this!

I was able to find a Marr neck on Reverb from the Stratosphere for my 63 Jag body ark replace a bad neck. It’s a very similar profile and it’s been nice to get on with enjoying it. I know it’s not vintage, but I think it’s the best Jag neck I’ve played outside a vintage one.
Good luck.

Found an early 1965 neck that will do for now.

Beautiful! What do you mean "for now"?

Nice save. Good to see it back in playing shape.

Well, if I ever find a good 64 neck, I would replace the 65 one to a correct 64.

Just for the fidelity, or is the profile a bit different?

1964 neck with a 1964 body is just the correct way of completing this guitar.

Looks great! You could complete the ritual by stealing a neck from a Mustang to complete this one..... blasphemy!
