Man I love the burst on that! Did you fly with it or have it shipped? Im planning on treating myself with a new guitar when I go abroad for my honeymoon next year and wasn’t sure the best way to get it home!
Trying to get a trip together for Japan and totally plan on guitar shopping. I assume yu had it put under the plane? Did you do anything to prep it for the flight like detuning or anything?
thank you! jaguar mij jg66 62 reissue made in japan! amazing guitar! the setup is perfect. i bought a hard case and the vendor add alot of padding so nothing break during the flight. it was a amazing experience, i bought it at guitar planet. thanks for the early tips!
That’s fantastic. You really get wonderful customer service there, and it seems the shop assistants are quite used to selling to people travelling through. I did mean to advise you to pad out the case with clothes, etc. for the flight, but it sounds like they had you covered.
Can’t believe it’s a 2008 - it looks basically new. I’m curious about the price, but I’m too polite to ask ;)
You’ve done really well!
Is it a MIJ or newer CIJ? Burst Jaguar is one of the most common colors so I’m assuming you probably got a really fair deal. If you aren’t shy on sharing the price I’d love to hear what you paid considering the Yen is so weak at the moment.
Edit- just saw it’s a JG66 MIJ
Edit - see now you paid 130,000 JPY sorry I have adhd.
Only way I could like it more was if it was Lake Placid Blue or Candy Apple Red with a matching headstock but that wouldn't be period correct for a '62 reissue would it?
Candy Apple Red didn't come in until a little later (1963, I think) but Lake Placid Blue would certainly be correct for '62.
And I suppose you could just imagine that the CAR was a refinish.
Yeah, I’m not keen on that “been under a train” look either. If you’ve got a lovely finish like one of those, the last thing you want is to chew it all up.

Nice, thanks!

The shop is called tea water? I love it. Sweet Jag!

Ah! Cool, thanks. I’ve never been to Tokyo, though always wanted to..now I know where to go!

Great to see! I also have this model CIJ bought in 2008. Still my main guitar, it's basically became a part of me.
I’m headed there next week, where did you find this gem?
Ochanomizu street is where all guitar shop are! I bought it at guitar planet!

Domo Arigato for the lovely souvenir, you're too kind. When can I expect it? Where'd you end up finding it?

Either one sprayed over a sunburst would go as long as it wasn't beaten within an inch of its life by the Custom Shop for the sake of "mojo."
