Holy shit! Gun-metal Blue Jaguar HH is back!
I've lusted after one of those for years... I'll likely never have one.

Same with my 3 Fenders... and my wife

That redburst Jag HH is pretty awesome too. Looks like the same color you see on a lot of 60's Japanese-made Jag knockoffs. Very cool.

Also, looks like the Pawn Shop Mustangs are still around, but they changed the headstock logo to read Mustang rather than Mustang Special.

I've long wanted to get an extra lefty MIJ Jag to route for bridge buckers, but that won't be happening at that price. Hell I won't cut into my Jag after seeing how much they are worth now. NUTS.

The exchange is actually getting better for us in the States. A year ago it was about 75 yen to the dollar... now it's 90. In 2008 it was 110.

Still, the J. Mascis JM is nearly $1700 at the current rate. Ri-fucking-diculous, especially considering it used to sell at Guitar Center for around $1000.
