!!NGD!! 1965 Jaguar - Did I mention it's a LEFTY!

Post by wetbelly »

Words or pictures can't even describe how awesome this guitar is. Arrived yesterday, but couldn't open it until just a few hours ago. All original except for the bridge and a refret, but I have an original era bridge for it. I had to sell my Orange Comp Stang to Pens to help foot some of this bill, but it was worth it. Behold!

Thanks! Yeah, it's got just enough battle scars where you don't have to baby it, but still looks pretty :lol:

I thought it was reissue because it was so clean in those first pics. Absolutely delicious.

Fap.

Fap fap fap.

I'd relearn as a true lefty (and not a lefty playing righty) for that.

Considering how rare it is as a lefty, not too bad of a price. Pretty comparable to a righty of the same condition.

Hooooly shit, nice score. What a result!

The condition's fantastic; just enough chips and scrapes to add a bit more personality (I dig wear and tear on guitar finishes for some reason).

Wow. Would love to play those. Is the white one original or a refin? Looks very white, and awesome. Very jealous of your collection.
