Pre-CBS 1964 Fender Jaguar, Black Refin, EXC Condition with OHSC

Left Handed Pre-CBS 1964 Fender Jaguar, older pro-refin in Black, has just undergone a complete inspection and expert set-up including a perfect refret with original spec wire by Scott Freilich of Top Shelf Music(www.topshelfmusic.com). This guitar now plays beautifully and needs nothing!

Neck date is 1MAY63B, neck plate is L48xxx, pickups are 6.13K/Neck, 7.09K/Bridge. Has a few replaced parts: 2 pots are mid-60s, tuners are repro, otherwise the guitar is original. Includes what is probably the correct case: early 60s brown Jaguar/Jazzmaster in righty, which is typical of the lefty Jaguars and Jazzmaster from the 1960s I have seen.

Nice thing about this bass is it is well marked for dates and left handed special order status. And you always like to see consistency among all of the date codes, and this one is perfect for the year 1960:
