My name is Curtis. I have been tasked by a good friend to evaluate and possibly nurse his Fender Jaguar to a point of sale. He is not a guitar player but he's somehow had this Jaguar since he was a boy.
I thought I might share the experience from beginning to end with anyone who might find it interesting. I also am in hopes that those enthusiast/experts with any interest in doing so would offer up any and all opinion and assistance in my endeavor. I will try my best to share pics all along the way. I am an avid player myself, but I make no claims of expertise nor any special skills. I am willing though, to do anything I can to make this guitar the best it can be. My first thought about this project is to do no more than necessary to get the guitar up and running. I would of course replace missing inlays and binding on the neck.
The Jag came to me without a case and in a most disturbing state of filth. I have taken a number of pictures which I will share/post to the best of my abilities. Since I have never done this before, I ask for patience and understanding straight away. The serial # of this Jaguar is 11133.
Okay.... for starters, photobucket isn't letting me share my first photo, so I had to use imgr. These are "before" photos.
