Looks pretty good I think, shame about the ding on the body contour though.


Wonder how much it's worth...

i think that's a pretty good deal on a pretty rare color in pretty awesome shape. luckily your arm doesn't rest on that part of the contour. i imagine it shouldn't hurt the value too awful much.

Second prettiest Jag colour, seems a fair price with a case too.

I'm going to keep my eye on it until later on. I'd love it, but I'm on the lookout for a lake placid blue :)

I had the same color Jag, purplehaze owns it now. Its one of the colors you dont see often so i bet it sells for £400+, on the other hand you'll pick a sunburst model up for around £300.

I recall someone selling one of these on another forum, not too long ago. Took a while to shift, if it ever did. Certainly a rarer colour though. Come to think of it it may have been some custom shop job...

Haha, when I cleaned out my jr high's '88-'96 Guitar Player magazine collection I came into like 30 copies of that ad, and had one on my desk cupboard door.

There was also an article in one of those mags that basically said "save money over those flashy new Boss units by going out and buying vintage Electro-Harmonix/Mu-Tron stuff instead."

It was meant to be then. I put on my maximum bid of £452, which the price was raised to almost immediately, and so I was fully expecting to be outbid.
But it sat at this price for a couple of days, and then finished.

So now I have a nice burgundy mist jaguar on its way to me!
:D

excellent score! that guitar is old enough that a ding like that is pretty well nothing, and the color is gorgeous.

She arrived today, how lovely she is! Necks a bit wider than my sunburst jag, but very easy to get on with, reminds me somewhat of my old Gibson SG neck.
Came with a mustang bridge already installed too, bonus! Now I'm on the prowl for a 250k volume pot, so I can transplant my Simon Neil strat pickups into this baby.

So anyway, here are my two babies! Sorry for the viewing options of tiny or huuuuge!
