I just picked this thing up last night. Owning a Jaguar has been on my bucket list for the last 15yrs and the time has finally come. I've been playing guitar on and off for the last 15yrs so I never could justify spending a chunk of cash on one, plus they dont come up for sale locally much if not ever. This one did though..
About the guitar, Its a 1993 JGS-75 in Ocean Turquoise. I've had a bit of trouble finding any information out on this particular guitar due to it being a Japan only model but I think I found out everything I can on it
aside from its value. It's in top condition and I must say, I am in love with it. I will be playing much more often now
Back to value, what would this be estimated at? I know its rare but that doesnt give me numbers. Anyways, I'll be happy to share some photos of it now

That is a thing of beauty. Never seen one before in that color. Have no idea of value, but the condition probably makes it up there.

According to the add on the link you gave, it sells for around $750-$780 in Japan new.

I sold mine for £350 I think (which is what I paid for it).

That converted would be $564.27.

That's pretty but I can't get past those knobs.

I like 'em.
Got the same ones on my Aerodyne Jazz Bass, they look great (IMO) and function nicely.

On the Aerodyne Jazz bass, they look right, it works.

I like 'em here too (though if they were smoked like on the Aerodyne it wouldn't work).
Mind you, I have aluminum skirted amp knobs on my Jag too, so...

Matching headstock on a Jag is truly a thing of beauty.

In case you plan to sell (since your asking a price) dibbs! Haha. This thing is so sick. I never saw one in that color and I love the headstock!

I think that is their plan. Posted the same question on Jag-Stang.com before posting here. Probably trying to drum up interest?
