Guitar Demo 1965 Fender Jaguar Olympic White

A Fender Jaguar from 1965 in original condition. Original factory custom colour Olympic White with staggered pole piece pickups and matching headstock.
This guitar was bought as all original but I have had it re-fretted and a new nut put on to make it playable for me using Jescar fretwire of vintage spec.
I have also used a Staytrem bridge and tremolo arm with collet as I think it solves the inherent flaw in the Jaguar design. The neck angle is fine and the bridge is high enough, it's just those wee saddles with very little mass and the tendency they have to rattle.

It's a great sounding instrument and the finish has checked over the years but retained much of the whiteness of the finish under the clear coat. The pickups, switches and pick guard are all original.
The tremolo stays in tune even though I do like to dive it a tone and I love the action of it: my favourite tremolo system.
This came to me by way of https://www.johnniesvintage.com/ and Gary Dick originally.
Beautiful Brazilian fingerboard with unique colouring!
