I bid on it, got outbid, might bid on it again..depends on how many beer I have tonight. God Bless drunk ebay'ing.

Nice. I think the sunburst CIJ models are a little better than the others with sound and balance, maybe its the alder body.

Drunk ebaying?.. Armed with a credit card 😲 I know what you mean on that one 😛

Sweet !

Nice grain. I think the block inlays are pretty neat.

Sweet guitar. But I cant help but to think of Gibson necks when I see a jag or jazzy with blocks and binding. Does anyone know why CBS fender changed to blocks/binding??

robertoriginal

jaguars and jazzmasters were the delux model at the time, so it seemed fitting to equip it with all the delux features they could.

plus they are sexy as hell!!!

On Fender Japan's website it has all the MIJ Jaguar reissues with either dot or block inlays now - so we'll being seeing a lot more them around.

Gavin

I've got one of them in OCR (Old Candy Apple Red). They're beautiful guitars. Also, all of the CIJ Jag's are Alder these days. It used to be that they made them from basswood for solid colours and alder for sunburst, but these days they are all alder.

Interestingly, that guitar doesn't have F tuners, so it's not the same as mine.

Where are you seeing this anyway? I can't find any Fender Japan website and Ishibashi aren't selling any Jag's with b&b anymore.

On Fender Japan's website - pretty easy to find - just type in fender and Japan in google and there it is:

I know a couple of blokes in Japan at the moment, they sell on ebay for around $600 AU for most jags - saw a special the other day for for only $500US...

When did they start that spec Gav? I'm sure i recently read some specs and they still use basswood for solid colours.

My Sunburst and CAR feel and sound very different to each other.

How lazy are they? You might aswell bang a block in at the 21st, it looks a bit funny to me without it.

I think it was about 2004/5, maybe earlier. That link up there that dude posted confirms that they are all listed as Alder.

Does anyone have a theory why - other than the wood previously - sunburst MIJ jags are better than the other colours. Id swear better pickups in the sunburster.

Gavin

Nah, I can't see them making the sunburst jag's better, wouldn't be very logical would it?

zontar

Well it sold for $1,080.00, was that yours?

zontar

That's less than what this guy wants for a 79 Lead II--talk about overpriced.

(bids start at $1200--I hope nobody bites.)

quilted

That's one sweet looking neck. Don't like that kind of sunburst all that much though, but overall it seems like a really nice guitar. I envy the new owner 😀

By the way, I took a look at the other guitars he had for sale and saw this Jag HH

How do they make the control plates and pickup covers look like that? I like it a lot.

Oops, I forgot to include the link...

Somebody on eBay was asking $1200 for a 79 Lead II--not worth it.

$1080 seems pricy. I doubt the ones Fender Japan are selling at the moment with block inlays would be that much more brand new. If I could read Japanese I could tell you if they are limited additions. They guy I bought mine off reckons that they will be doing block inlays from now.
