re: #96 Skip Intro

Just out of curiosity, do you have any idea what a circa 1965 Fender Jaguar, all original and in like-new condition for a 50 year old guitar might be worth?

Candy Apple red with a tortoise shell pickguard.

Yeah, it’s mine, bought when I was a kid.

Check with Gary’s Classic Guitars out of the Cincinnati Ohio area. He made me a happy camper when I was looking to sell a Fender Twister/Musiclander. He is extremely fair, know his guitars and a really nice guy.

I was lucky in that I was able to drive down from Columbus to his location. I didn’t have to pay for and trust shipping my baby, so that was great.

And I am glad I did go…he let me hold both a real Fender “No Caster” worth many many thousands and a ‘53 Les Paul Gold Top that was just beautiful. All original and used so it had that real classic thing going on.

He had so many damn nice guitars it was impressive and I asked him who he sold to because not just any person off the street can afford $75,000 and $30,000 guitars. He said turn around ( I was in his office) and look at the photos on that table and above on the wall. I’m not going to drop his names, but damn…it was impressive…Hollywood…TV…and Famous Musicians.

Anyway, if you contact him, tell him you heard about him from some guy in Columbus Ohio that sold him a Fender Swinger back in November.
