Forgive a newbie here I'm not sure if I can sell this here. If I can't delete this post.
I have references if needed. I heard you guys would appreciate this more than most. A member of this forum sent me here.
Pre CBS 1962 Fender Jaguar Ocean Turqouise
Neck Plate 92829
May 1 62 B Neck Date indicating that it is a Brazilian Slabboard fingerboard
Slabboard body
Original Plastic and Hardware,Trem arm, pot codes date to 1962, Original decal Transition logo, Fender. Patent #'s on decal can be read with a magnifying glass. The Custom body decal is missing
Changed Bridge PuP, original in case, Neck PuP is original.
The only non original solder joint is the Bridge PuP from what I can see
Non original Hard shell case, the Mute is missing, you can find them for $50
Now one of the dumbest things someone could have done.
They sanded the lower bout on the neck pocket,leaving it almost bare
the neck pocket however contains its original color on the top and sides and also some near the middle of the body. There is color in every cavity and the nails marks are under the bridge. The Fullerplast can clearly be seen where it has wear.
I believe Fender was going to make this Candy Apple Red but decided a different and custon ordered new color, Ocean Turqouise!
Fender often painted guitars and people would custom order new colors so they just took one off the shelf and painted over it, very common for this time period.
Some dings and some checking. One gorgeous guitar though.
I have had it blacklighted and the Nitro and Fullerplast check out.
The Fullerplast should be Blueish-Purple or something correct?
I have never seen one of this color this early before, I can only imagine it wasn't popular enough for fender to use until the surf craze and custom color guitars became a hot commodity .
If anyone here has anymore knowledge please help me out
