2007 Fender AVRI Jaguar (1962 reissue) Surf Green

Summary: The American Vintage Series pays tribute to certain guitars from landmark years in Fender's history; thus, the Fender American Vintage '62 Jaguar is built to the specs of that year. The Jaguar was first produced in 1962, so this is a particularly landmark year for the instrument and the American Vintage '62 Jaguar is consequently sporting specs from the Jag's first year of production. The short scale neck, the two single-coil pickups with the distinctive Lead and Rhythm Circuitry, and the obviously Jaguar-like offset body are all a part of the Fender American Vintage '62 Jaguar.

Cosmetics: This instrument has been well-loved & doesn’t show a lot of wear. There are pick scratches on the pickguard & I found one ding on the back lower bout but overall it is in very good shape.
