NGD: 1966 Fender Jaguar PHOTOBOMB

Yay! Just finishing setting up my first vintage Jaguar. Oly white with matching headstock and B&B. It looks more blonde than white at this point due to the aging of the finish. The pickups on this thing sound amazing and the neck is pretty much perfect. Very little fretwear. Unknown to me it came with og coily cable, trem arm, booklet, old set up unopened strings, and warranty card in the OHSC. Checking is everywere, and there is some funky wear near the contour. Took to PG off and I think I was the first to do so, sawdust came out and the PG shrunk around screws. Only bummer is that the neck pocket is big enough that I can fit a heavy pick in it on the bass side, the treble side is tight.

This was the first time I plugged it in, so bad improv playing. The neck pickup selector on the lead circuit didn't work as you will see. I took it apart and cleaned it and now it works... hmm. The vid shows how yellow the guitar is:

Congratulations!
How does playing it compare to playing the '90s model you had?

The neck is a lot fuller and feels perfect, too me. Best neck I've ever played. It is just a more inspiring guitar to play than the MIJ one was. THe tremolo is definitely smoother and the pickups do sound better. Other than that it isn't all that different.

Thanks guys!
