FENDER JAGUAR DAKOTA RED, 1965 |
|
 |
another great
guitar in a rare and desirable custom-color. Neck
date is August 1965, pots date is 1965. Pearl-dot
rosewood fretboard, bound neck typical of second half of
'65: just like the other Jaguar you see in this list,
this one too has the old-style Kluson Deluxe
'double-line' tuners, typical of pre-CBS Jags. This
instrument is fully original: electronics, pickups,
potentiometers, etc. The hardware still has original
vibrato arm, mute and bridge cover: nothing is missing
here! Exceptionally fine condition, and the finish is
original, beautiful, shiny and unfaded. A few traces of
checking on the body, a few small dings that show
the white undercoat, but as you see from the pictures
there is no major ding or scratch, no belt-buckle wear. A
small area on the back near the strap button shows some
yellowing of the clear lacquer, probably due to the time
spent insided of the case (the case itself shows some
humidity sign in that point): but, again, it is a very
small area, and it's a very minor damage that doesn't
dectract anything from the guitar beauty and cleanness.
The neck shows a little more checking and some normal
playing-wear. Also on the front of the headstock there is
some light finish-checking. The guitar is really
gorgeous, rare, with a fantastic action, and plays and
sounds great. It comes with its beautiful original
black-tolex hardshell case. More pictures here: |
