Pre Owned 2024 Fender Custom Shop 1966 Jaguar Journeyman Relic Aged Natural Blonde & OHSC

We've seen a lot of amazing Custom Shop guitars here, including Jaguars, but this is perhaps one of the coolest ones to walk in the door.  In fact, we were a bit jealous that we didn't think to spec it out ourselves!

This Fender Custom Shop 1966 Jaguar was built just last year and presents a great opportunity to score something special at a great price.  The guitar has the Journeyman Relic treatment with nitro lacquer finish, so it has a great vintage vibe of a guitar that was played plenty over the years, but well cared for the entire time.  You get player wear and a broken in feel, with some nicks and dings but nothing extensive.  The Custom Shop did a great job with the finish on this one.

What you'll notice right away is that it's Aged Natural Blonde on an ash body with a matchcing stock, and gold hardware - something you rarely see.  The wood grain looks spectacular.  What else also really stands out is the bound neck (quartersawn maple) and pearloid block inlays on the fretboard - period correct for 1966 and a great look.  What's also period correct is the 7.25" radius.  For a bit of a modern feel, the guitar has 6105 (narrow tall) frets, making it easier to play and bend on.  The guitar was spec'ed out with a special 59 Tapered C neck carve, measuring .820 - .980", which is quite comfortable.  You get 22 frets and the classic 24" scale length, giving this guitar a great feel.

You also get Lollar Jaguar pickups, another custom feature of this guitar.  Wound to be similar to the original 60's pickups, they offer improved bass fidelity and definition in the neck position and a fuller, fatter tone in the bridge position.  Plugged in, we were blown away.  Lollar really nailed the sound of a classic Jaguar, with a touch of modernization to give you the ability to cut through the mix while staying smooth and well balanced.  The guitar has the vintage style wiring and controls, providing a ton of tonal options.

Other features include a period correct bridge and tuners, bonue nut and a tortoiseshell pickguard that looks great against the natural finish.  The guitar comes complete with the original hardshell case, strap, Certificate of Authenticity and paperwork.

If you're looking for a unique Fender Custom Shop piece, this 1966 Jaguar Journeyman Relic definitely fits the bill.  Setup to play perfectly by the texts in our shop and in excellent condition, it's ready for its next home.
