This beauty just arrived all the way from the United States in the post today from Reverb.com. She's a 2003-2004 CIJ Fender Jaguar 66 Reissue in three colour sunburst. I've already left her into my Guitar tech who's going to fit a Mustang bridge. It also appears that there is no spring in the tremolo as it's lying flat inside the cavity. I've bigger plans for this Guitar. I want to put in a four way pickup selector where the three switches on the lower part of the Guitar are as well as a set of Bare Knuckle 62 Jaguar Pickups like Johnny Marr. I may put in a Staytrem arm and collet but I want to see what the stock one is like before I do that. It's going to be with my tech for about 10 days while the parts come in. I can't wait to get her back!

Very nice Jaguar! Sunburst is one of my favorite colors.

The Mustang bridge conversion is intended to prevent the Jaguar's strings from hopping out of their saddles under heavy picking or strumming conditions due to the minimal break angle between the bridge and the tailpiece. The Jazzmaster is similarly afflicted with this malady.

Never heard of that before, learn something new everyday. I thought most folks used this...
