Fender "L-Series" pre-CBS 1965 Jaguar

SOLD

We're happy to present this gorgeous "L-Series" 1965 Fender Jaguar, 99% original and beatifully-sounding. Very resonant, with a nicely figured Brazilian rosewood fretboard and in collector's condition!

This is one of Fender's 60's "experiments", with somewhat "complex" controls, but actually pretty simple: two modes, "rythm" and "lead". "Rythm" mode activates neck pickup only, and volume / tone can be activated through two independent controls. "Lead" mode is the standard invidual pickup selection mode, with master tone & volume controls. It also has the "strangle" switch, which is basically a high-pass filter that gives you that "twangy" feel.

Clear "Aug 65" neck stamp, as equally clear mid '65 pot codes. L Series Backplate and original hard case. Tremolo arm is missing, and the bridge is not original. That's it. The rest is entirely original, including of course the finish (which has been blacklit).

The guitar does have some dings & scratches here and there, VERY minor, and the guitar is in sensational condition, ready to satisfy demanding musicians and collectors alike. Original frets are in great condition, too. Good weight of 7 lb 15oz (3610gr) and extremely resonant.
