I'm selling my vintage Jaguar on ebay and SF Bay Craigslist
1964 Fender Jaguar Sunburst - Very Good condition - All Original w/original black tolex case and original trem-arm.
This is a very clean vintage package with no modifications, structural issues or other nonsense. The 6th string bridge screw is a replacement, and I dont have the original.
Neck stamp: 1 SEP 64 B and both Pot Codes read 3046421.
This guitar was serviced in April 2008 by noted Bay Area luthier Mike Gold (Gryphon Stringed Instruments) with .11 DR Pure Nickel Blues strings.
This guitar plays easy, is easy to adjust, and has a very balanced sound that was noticeably less dark then my other Jags. The trem stays in tune, and it produces a very loud acoustic sound. This guitar is an amazing player and I have enjoyed it immensely. I am selling because I got a '64 Jazzmaster that is rocking my socks and my wallet.
The 1964 Jaguar is my favorite year for the Jaguar. It doesnt have the slab fingerboard, but the price and availability is a lot nicer than the 62. I like the clay dot inlays (62-64). The 64 has a slightly different sunburst than the 62-63 which has less red and more yellow which really makes it stand out from the re-issues. The pickups on the 1964 got raised pole pieces which gives it more bite and balance on the top end.

my ebay auction is a no-reserve auction starting at 1$. I use UPS 3-day select at 29lbs and 53"x23"x11" (oversize box 2). Quality shipping very expensive, but not as expensive as a snapped headstock.

Faster shipping does not equal safer shipping.
The best shipped guitar I ever got wasn't even in a real box. The wrapped the case, tightly, twice in bubble wrap and wrapped the bubble wrap very tightly with cardboard. Brilliant packaging.

Actually, a headstock repair at my local shop is $120 and I saw others on the internet for $100. Shipping should be $40 for a guitar. So in actuality a snapped headstock is cheaper or the same price as quality shipping.
Also, when was the last time you saw a fender with a snapped headstock? Especially one that was in a case. I saw a tele survive a 20 foot throw with a 10 foot drop off.

Any damage to this guitar in shipping would ruin the deal the risk is unacceptable. In my experience, faster shipping is safer shipping. The less time they have to break it the better. Usually things arrive safe, but I have shipped enough guitars which didn't that I choose UPS 3day.
