An old Fretboarder returns: 1972 Jaguar

Kylef

Recieved this today after trading for my Rickenbacker v64. What a fabulous instrument. Some may recognise it, belonged to Bridgehouse who imported it originally and then badlydrawnbanjo who sold it on to the trader.

Thanks to Stephen for the advice and recommendation, both members put a lot of work into the guitar to get it how it is now. Very glad I took a punt on it, there's not a thing I feel the urge to do to it. Staytrem would have been my first requirement but it's there already. May invest in the Staytrem collet but the term arm seems to hold well as it is.

Not sure what the plan is whether to hold on to it or not, I fancied the trade to try it but as its surprised me I can see me holding on to it. It does have competition from my other offsets mind you, in a Sherwood Marr Jag and '65 RI Jazzmaster.

Anyhow here's some pics I snapped today.

Very nice. The Jag is pretty much the only guitar I still like if it's sunburst and has tort.

Bridgehouse

Ah I remember it well...

Great Jag that one...

That really is lovely, if you ever feel the need to give that away to someone look no further.

I'm not usually a fan of Jaguars but that looks awesome!

Bridgehouse

I spent a lot of time sorting that out. I know it's 70s but it plays like a new good one now.. 

Bridgehouse

Oh, and it's a Steve Robinson refret...

Hope you don't me posting this @Bridgehouse but this is a link to your original NGD thread. Fascinating read.

No problem at all

Happy ending to this story as I acquired Kyle's fantastic ES345 too

That's pretty much my perfect birth year guitar.
