Thanks. I was beating my head against the wall trying to find info on it and couldnt find a thing. I guess that should of been a giveaway. Also, the guy told me he wanted $350 for it. I asked him for my pics and a COA. Not reply yet haha.

This is the real Fender Custom Shop Jaguar Stratocaster.

Jaguar Cars suggested the idea to Fender in 1995 and the 25 guitars were finally produced in 2000. Most of them were bought by Jaguar and put on display in their showrooms in London, Paris, Monaco and Los Angeles before being given to their execs as gifts. Supposedly between five and eight have made their way onto the market, one of which is owned by this Forum's own user Alain la France. I know of another that was sold by a shop in the UK for £14,000 / $22,000.

Hard to see in this photo, but the body is in fact Jaguar Racing Green. The walnut on the neck and pickguard is the same as the burr walnut used on Jaguar car dashboards, and the fretboard and other inlays are gold. Alain told us that so as not to spoil the lines of the pickguard with screwheads it is held in place with magnets recessed into the body. Neat!

Cheers - C

We each have our own ideas about what constitutes greatness. But for me, the breathtaking Fender Jaguar Stratocaster is IT.. Simply my most desired electric guitar ever..

One day - don't know when, don't know how - I will own one of those 25 guitars. I hope someone, somewhere, is keeping one safe for me..
