well, first of all, hello to everybody. this is an amazing website and I've found a LOT of informations here.
I'm probably gonna repeat things already written in this forum but I need your advice: my situation is that I've always had problems finding a LH fender jaguar because apparently fenderUSA doesn't produce them anymore. I found one in Japan and here begins my doubts: I've heard that japanese fenders are worse than american one (especially the wood and some pickup stuff, except the ones produces in 80', as I've red). that's why americans ones are more expensive (and a LOT more), but I don't want a "super" guitar also because I cannot afford it.
if you wanna help me, I send you the link of the one I've seen, just tell me if in your opinion it's a goos choice or not and if it worth.
it's a Fender Japan '66 Reissue Jaguar Left Hand JG66/LH made in Japan and brand new.

if you can't open the link the tecnical aspects are:

and it costs $1225,00
for me it's always been a problem find good left handed guitar, especially Jaguar because they're very VERY rare (and more expensive or generally worse).
so this guitar is the only one I could find.
do you think that this guitar is a good choice? I know that I'm not gonna try it before buying and this is a pity but what else can I do? do you think it worth?
