I haven't posted anything in a while, thought I'd share this:

1963 Jaguar, got it from Ronnie's All Bang 'n Strum it a few weeks ago.
Was a long distance buy, so I was a bit nervous for it to arrive, but was definitely worth it in the end. (Thanks Ronnie!)
Been looking for one of these for ages.

It's a refinish, and the nut is not original, it's a brass nut (apparently fit by Syd Kitchen).
Case also not original. I like the fact that it's a refinish otherwise I'd probably be too scared to play it.
I've replaced the bridge with a Mastery bridge, as I've gotten used to them on my other offsets. (definitely worth the extra cash)
Still need to have the guitar properly set up by Foster vd Merwe.

It plays very smoothly as is and the pick-ups are awesome, I've got Novaks on my Japanese Jag and
I thought those were nice pickups, but the '63 pickups have something extra special to it... fuzz sounds
amazing through these.

Anyway, enough talk, here's the visuals ---- >>>>


ps: thanks fellow guitar geeks, I wouldn't have known about Ronnie's if it wasn't for this site.



























    ? ? ? Are you single?? I don't even know you but I'd date you just for a chance to play that!
      Beautiful guitar, look as if it's in pristine condition. Congrats. 8)
        Seen that bad boy at Ronnie's shop before.

        What a lovely one.
          Very nice, yes that guit has been there for a long time
            Stunning. Was going to say that you haven't posted in a while. And with that NGD I doubt you'll have time to post again for a while
              very nice!!
              What does the neck say?
              any traces of the original finish (sunburst probably)

              congrats!
                That looks sooooooo goood! Wow, enjoy it! I really think Fender Jags are the one of the nicest looking guitars, and this one is particularly delicious!
                  What a beauty!! Sigh........the one thing that gives me GAS (apart from Chocklit's cooking) is an old sixties Fender.


                  And, just by the way, be careful with Chocklit - he's a polygamist!!! ?

                    I've just got so much love to give!! :roflmao:
                      Very nice!

                      Is it a nitro refin? If it is and you play through the finish over the coming years, you can get that cool effect of a solid colour shot over sunburst.

                        Thanks Everybody!
                        Always nice to share new gear with people who understand ?

                        Ronnie said he thinks it was probably a sunburst yes, as most of them were.
                        Took the neck off when I got it, which was 3-4 weeks ago,
                        neck was marked either 1Jul '63 or 1 Jun '63. No trace of the original finish in any of
                        the cavities though.

                        Ye it's been a while, but GFSA site seems to not like my net connection, or vice versa...so I kinda gave up on attempted-failed logins.
                        Been trying to logon since last night, and just wouldn't happen. Anyway, still have the red Wesley I got from you, albeit, very modified since
                        then ?

                        Not sure Reinhard, the finish seems quite thin, so maybe it is?
                        I hope it is! Wouldn't mind a worn finish like that strat's

                            She seems to have a re-issue scratch plate too, The tortoise shell ones shrunk like a newly weds disposable income. The patterns seemed to also be different to the re-issues. I still have the original one off my Jazzmaster - the amount of shrinkage is incredible.

                            She is an absolute beauty.

                              Was it up on Gumtree a while ago? I had meant to ask, had some nice mods and got me thinking...
