Here we have an amazing 1962 Fender Jaguar serial # 82135, sunburst lacquer finish, alder body, maple neck with rosewood fingerboard, and original brown tolex hard shell case. This nicely original, first-year Fender Jaguar shows genuine wear from decades of play, but offers a super vibey feel and a world of classic twang. The Jaguar debuted in spring 1962 as Fender's top-of-the line; the flashy chrome-dazzled guitar was a serious status symbol for many types of combos in the early '60s, especially California teen bands. This one has a neck dated September 1962 with legible pot dates from the 32nd week of that year. Typical first-generation features include an unbound thick rosewood fingerboard with clay dot inlay, deep blended 3-color sunburst and gold "transition" Fender logo decal. The Jaguar's scale length at 24" is shorter than the other pro-grade Fender guitars, the same as the student-grade Mustang, Musicmaster and Duo-Sonic. Combined with the Jazzmaster floating tremolo unit this means the guitar is easy to play but performs better with heavier gauge strings. The two single-coil pickups are optimized for clarity, punch and crispness. This one includes a functional original mute, the foam has been replaced and it works perfectly. This is a VERY well-played guitar, a true relic showing evidence of long use but still remaining nicely original. While there is quite a bit of wear overall, the finish does not have large areas missing as is sometimes found on heavily-used Fenders. The sunburst is not heavily faded and there is not too much checking, mostly lateral lines on the body. There is a large collection of mostly smaller dings, chips and scrapes overall. The back of the neck is heavily worn down mostly to the bare wood and feels fantastic, with that classic "old Fender" vibe. The headstock finish is somewhat "smoked" with some minor dings and dents; the decal is intact but darkened. The guitar has been refretted with period correct wire. The chrome shows general wear overall but all hardware is complete and intact except for the trem arm, which is a correct modern repro and the snap-on bridge cover which is long gone. The original brown Tolex case is very battered but still functional, with the leather ends pretty much gone. All-in-all this is a GREAT-playing and sounding early Jaguar.

The Fender Jaguar is an iconic electric guitar first introduced in 1962. Known for its distinctive offset body shape and short scale length of 24 inches, this guitar originally found favor with surf musicians but later gained popularity among alternative rock and indie musicians. Its characteristic tone and versatile switching system, including multiple tone and pickup selectors, have made it a popular choice for players seeking a wide range of sounds.
