A Newly Acquired OTM Japanese Jaguar *pics inside*

Post by inutero11 »

I just picked this thing up last night. Owning a Jaguar has been on my bucket list for the last 15yrs and the time has finally come. I've been playing guitar on and off for the last 15yrs so I never could justify spending a chunk of cash on one, plus they dont come up for sale locally much if not ever. This one did though..

About the guitar, Its a 1993 JGS-75 in Ocean Turquoise. I've had a bit of trouble finding any information out on this particular guitar due to it being a Japan only model but I think I found out everything I can on it aside from its value. It's in top condition and I must say, I am in love with it. I will be playing much more often now :D

Back to value, what would this be estimated at? I know its rare but that doesnt give me numbers. Anyways, I'll be happy to share some photos of it now

That is a thing of beauty. Never seen one before in that color. Have no idea of value, but the condition probably makes it up there.

I sold mine for £350 I think (which is what I paid for it).

I like 'em.
Got the same ones on my Aerodyne Jazz Bass, they look great (IMO) and function nicely.

I like 'em here too (though if they were smoked like on the Aerodyne it wouldn't work).
Mind you, I have aluminum skirted amp knobs on my Jag too, so...

Matching headstock on a Jag is truly a thing of beauty.
Vad skönt för en skald att få sova.

In case you plan to sell (since your asking a price) dibbs! Haha. This thing is so sick. I never saw one in that color and I love the headstock!

I think that is their plan. Posted the same question on Jag-Stang.com before posting here. Probably trying to drum up interest?
