How long has this model been in production?

Been wanting one, but I'd like a different color than what is currently offered.
Deciding if I should get one now, regardless of color, in case Fender discontinues the model.
Or, maybe I should wait to see what other colors may be available later in the year, or whenever.

I just had a look.....

Seems like this model was released at the 2008 NAMM Show (January).
...and is available in olympic white or 3 tone sunburst...
So maybe it is in line for a update....

IMO...

If you really like a guitar... features Etc.
And the only thing holding you back is the color of the body...
Buy the guitar, and have the body refinished in the color of your choice!...
BTW....I kinda like the OW color on this..

There are plenty of good folks out there doing this kind of thing!...

Or alternatively.... It could just be GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) :D

Hold onto your cash and wait for something that really speaks to you.. the cost of refinishing the guitar could be added to the fund and you could get a significantly superior instrument.

Decisions decisions..... we have ALL been through this....far too many times....
Some you win ...... :lol:

Good luck on this one....
P.

Don't now where you got your information. The Olympic White is only available on the Classic Player Jaguar Special "HH"

Classic Player Jaguar Special

3-Color Sunburst
$1,099.99
0141700300


Candy Apple Red
$1,099.99
0141700309

Fender Custom Shop might make you one in your favorite color, but at a very high price. I would suggest shopping for a used one and then refinish that to a color of your liking. Or buy a new one, enjoy it and let it grow on you.

But arnt they effectively the same model, just the differing pickup configs?...
..and yup, I must of assumed you were talking of this model cause I must admit the OW finish looks pretty sweet to me... and then obviously all info following is of the Classic Player Jaguar Special HH model...

Beg Pardon :D

Almost. I believe the switch and pots on the upper horn are used to spit the coils (partially and fully) on the HH model giving some interesting tones. So, there is no actual "rhythm circuit."
