I sort of feel like a jerk for selling my mustang after having it for less than a month, but I need the money to pick up this beauty.
My new '65 Jaguar. It has some wear here and there, but i really think its just the right amount. Sounds great, especially the clean tones, but the output on the bridge pickup is slightly lower no matter how high i raise it. multimeter reading is fine, so I'll crack her open and take a look sooner or later. The neck is really my favorite part of the guitar, as it's really worn down from the previous owners and it just plays itself.

Thought I'd share some photos with you guys.

Yeah, holy shit that thing is in amazing condition. You did right by snatching it up.

I can't speak for all Jags, but the bridge pup output was way weaker on my MIJ Jag as well, that's the main reason I put a single-size bucker in that position.

Amazing score, very very nice and super clean.

My 66's bridge pickup is pretty hefty (for a vintage Jag) but you're always going to get more volume out of the neck bcause the strings are doing more work up there.

Don't raise it too high or it'll affect string resonance, instead drop the neck to compensate.

Love it. I love how the sunburst kinda separates over the years into three distinct bands of color.

Yes, as everyone else has said, amazing looking guitar!

Mind if I ask approx how much you paid for it?

It's almost as clean as my AVRI Jag. But what really makes me jealous is that the neck has been worn down for you.

"Plays itself" are two words I'd use to describe any guitar that is worth keeping for life. My Musicmaster is the same way... my fingers "just go."

Many, many congrats.
