WITH A NECK DSTE OF SEPTEMBER 1966, THIS JAGUAR IS ONE OF THE EARLIEST EXAMPLES WITH BLOCK POSITION MARKERS ON THE NECK!! IN 1965, JAGUARS HAD COME WITH DOT MARKERS AND AN UNBOUND FRETBOARD. HOWEVER, FOR THE 1966 MODEL YEAR THE FINGERBOARD INCLUDED SINGLE LAYER WHITE BINDING. THE PEARLOID BLOCK FRETBOARD MARKERS SEEN HERE WERE NOT ADDED UNTIL THE LATTER HALF OF 1966!

Introduced in 1962, the Jaguar was designed to be the top of the line for Fender. While the body shape, vibrato tailpiece and the ‘rhythm’ circuit (the switch and volume/ tone controls mounted on the upper bout) were borrowed from the Jazzmaster, the Jaguar is a short (24″) scale guitar with a pair of Stratocaster-like pickups, a unique bass cut switch, and on off switches for both pickups. As Carl Wilson was an early advocate of the Jaguar, the model became the guitar du jour for countless surf bands, and its popularity continued into the garage band era of ’65-’66. Lots of indie rockers and post punks began favoring this model in the 1980’s.
