OHSC – Page 10 – Lefty Vintage Guitars

Lefty Gretschs are the rarest of vintage electric guitars, relative to Fender, Gibson, etc. This is a late 1960 and it has the deeper 2 1/2″ body of a 1959! This guitar has been very well cared for – it looks like it was played for only a short time and then put away in storage. It even has the original flatwound strings in a bag!

The only thing that appears to ever have been done on this guitar was a fret level from the 10th – 22nd frets. The original frets are in great shape, with only minor wear on the first 3 frets. The back of the neck shows hardly any wear at all, as well as the Ebony fingerboard.

Left Handed 1972 Fender Jaguar, Original Lake Placid Blue Finish, 100% Original with OHSC, EXC Condition. This is a very rare custom color Fender Jaguar, as featured in the book of rare vintage lefties: Uncommon Sound.

The original LPB finish shows the typical green fade that we all love about the vintage LPB finish; this is a classic look that can not be duplicated today! You can see where the color of the uncovered parts of the body has faded moderately over time into a greenish-blue,
as opposed to the true LPB color as seen in the covered parts(under the pickguard and under the neck plate-see pics).

In addition, what makes this LPB Jaguar so special is that the neck profile is the size typically found on mid-59 Gibsons(.89/1st, .98/12th), considered the most perfect of neck profiles and one of the features that makes the 59 Gibsons the most desired of the Golden Era Gibsons.
Many of the pre-CBS Strats which I have owned, for example, have had a thinner neck profile, typically .81/1st, .98/12th, so this Jaguar has a really comfortable neck! Frets show some wear around the first 5 frets, but still have plenty of life left.
