1966 Fender Jaguar - Blonde

Serial Number123729

The 1966 Jaguar spotlighted this month has the typical features for that year, including a gold “Transition” Fender logo decal on the headstock, a bound dot inlayed (large block inlays became standard by 1967) rosewood fingerboard, and a tortoise shell pickguard.  Beginning that year, Kluson tuners were replaced by Fender designed “F” stamped keys made by Schaller in Germany. The same backwards “F” was also stamped boldly on the neck plate. This guitar has a see-through blond finish over an ash body (an alder body was used for sunburst or solid color guitars). The custom color option on this guitar was an $18 up-charge.
