1964 Fender Jaguar Sonic Blue anyone?Billed as ‘faster and easier to play’ due to its shorter scale length and equipped with some of the most advanced switching options of any Fender to date, the Jaguar has always been a little bit at odds with its other stable mates but has always found favour in the underground. Even so, there is no denying the iconic look of the instrument, especially decked out in custom colours and covered in chrome.It's always nice to see a Sonic Blue Fender. One of the rarer shades, this guitar has some checking and flaking of the finish by the neck pocket. Aside from this its in great condition.The neck has minor amounts of wear on the back in places but nothing too extensive. The fretboard is in wonderful condition and the frets too show some signs of use. The headstock is in good shape and  the finish has only yellowed slightly. The logo is strong.The pickguard has shrunk somewhat but has not warped at the edges. In fact whilst taking the pictures it did feel as though we were the first to look under there since it left the factory. The hardware is corroded but has retained the chrome gleam. Electronically the guitar is correct and all the solder joints (and yes, there are many!) look to be undisturbed which is always a welcome sight.This guitar comes with its correct Black Tolex, no logo hardshell case.The is guitar sounds fantastic. Unplugged there’s a vibrancy that isn’t always evident I these offset guitars. Once plugged in, the guitar has a wide pallette of tones available and both pickups work well so as to make any option a good one, again a statement that can’t be made about all Jaguars unfortunately.This guitar is certainly special. Looks to die for with tone to match. They don’t often get here in this condition so its a must for anyone looking for a custom colour offset for their collection.

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. Typically featuring a rosewood fretboard, maple neck, and alder body, the Jaguar is available in classic finishes like Sunburst, Olympic White, and Candy Apple Red.
