I'll find out if they would ship it to Canada. Can't drive outside of this country.

Yarko, i think i saw one at avenue guitars yesterday in that colour, though i may be mistaken, but it would be worth the trip to whyte ave to have a look.

Do it! Don't wait or it will be gone. If you have the green, go for it. I don't need another Jag, but I would buy that IBM Jag just for the color.

Here is my AVRI Jaguar I got on Used Guitar Center from New York.

But the AVRIs at Avenue is so damn expensive, last time I checked they were $1800ish. And I just missed a white one on kijiji for $1,000 last week. I will check my back account and maybe go for it.

I just called and they said it was Japanese and that's an alright price for a Jap Jag but I don't feel like changing the pickups in it.

+1 again. Exact same scenario I went through. Both salesman and manager acknowledged the price was too low but I didn't give them time to correct it.

I wouldn't let a pickup swap kill the deal. AVRI pups aren't that expensive.

Yep, and only an 'alright' one. Forget it and move on.

how the fuck is it japanese ?
it says fuckin USA right in the description

... and now I look at it, it's got the mute, which none of the Japanese Jags did, the case is the one you get with an AVRI, and I'm fairly sure that there's never been a Japanese Jag finished in IBM.

Same with me and my twin reverb.

Call and ask if it says Made in Japan or Crafted in Japan on the back of the neck. If it doesn't, it's an AVRI. That's how they figured mine was. My AVRI Jag came with a mute, so if the Japanese Jags don't they might be wrong about. Most of the sales staff at Guitar Center no absolutely jack about Jaguars. They can't even tell you about the pickup switching.

Do Japanese Jaguars come with hard cases? That case looks exactly like my AVRI Jag case.

Thanks, I will grill them about it tomorrow.

it's definitely an AVRI, or i'm a monkey's uncle.

*possibly*

CAUTION: UNRELIABLE ADVICE: it could also mean someone's sanded it off. The only reliable way to tell is to look and see if there's a circular rout under the bridge where the plunger for the mute goes: if so, it's American.

There are, of course, other ways to tell - if the headstock decal is on top of the finish rather than below it, it's USA (but this is easily faked too), or you can whip the neck off and see if the fingerboard is slab (USA) or veneer (Japan), or look at the neck stamp. But no guitar shop monkey is going to take the neck off for you.

if it was a japanese jag in IBM it'd most likely have a matching headstock and i'm pretty sure the guard and pickup covers would be stark white. i vote, somewhat vicariously, do it.
