Olympic White Jaguar!

Weighs just 8.00 lbs. with a nut width of 1 5/8 inches and scale length of 24 inches. Solid alder body, one-piece maple neck, and rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and clay dot markers. Individual Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons. Two white oblong Strat-like pickups with notched metal side plates and outputs of 7.92k and 7.70k. Four-layer (tortoiseshell/white/black/white) pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus four two-way selector switches (two knobs and three slide switches on the treble side, selector switch and two roller knobs on the bass side). Black plastic Jaguar knobs. Jazzmaster-type floating tremolo and bridge with adjustable mute and original cover. This guitar is in near mint condition, with only negligible finish checking, a couple of tiny marks on the back, a small area of smooth sleeve wear on the left-hand edge of the guitar, and another on the right-hand edge. Housed in the extremely rare original Fender top-of-the-line brown leather hardshell molded form-fit case with orange plush lining (9.00).

In mid 1962 Fender introduced its most expensive "top-of-the-line" guitar called the Jaguar. The Jaguar’s pickups are more powerful and better shielded, which eliminated some of the hum problems associated with the Jazzmaster. The shorter (24 inch) scale was favored by some guitarists at that time, especially the surf music players. The Jaguar shared its unique rhythm circuit with the Jazzmaster. This allowed a pre-set tone for rhythm playing.
