Authentic Jag or not

Re: Authentic Jag or not

it looks like a mij jag but the tuners and 2-pc headstock looks abit suspicious.
 
Re: Authentic Jag or not

The tuners do look sucpious and the master tone and volume knobs look too small to me...

Re: Authentic Jag or not

It's a nice looking guitar, but I'd be questioning where the serial number is... I can't see one anywhere on there (and I know that's definitely not normal).
 
Re: Authentic Jag or not

it's probably a filipino copy.

the tuners are wrong (most certainly)
The tremlock button is fake
The Fender logo is "off" on the headstock and trem.
(alright the entire trem is questionable in every way I can see... look at the tailpiece)
The pickups are constructed differently and sit above the pickguard
The bridge is made of thin metal. (pickup claws are too thin too
Look at the neck construction at the headstock... (3 pieces?!?)
The contour is off at the back, it's different on real ones.
The neck joint and plate looks sloppy

That's all:)
sorry for being the resident jag nut. That said, it's one of the better copies I've seen... hmm... Not worth the price AT ALL. The guy probably bought it for 50 bucks in the Phillipines, and you can get a recent reissue japanese jag for less.
Look in my webpage for how a real one should look (japs are fairly close to AVs and Vintages... only nerds like me can tell the difference;))

Man, this is why I don't buy guitars and such online. Gotta support my local guitar shop, The owner is straight with me, doesn't rip me off, and buying something that you can see and touch in person first is ALWAYS good.

Re: Authentic Jag or not

It is not a Fender Jaguar!

It is a poor copy.

There are just too many items wrong on it....
 
Re: Authentic Jag or not

This guy might be on to the greatest scam ever. He presents it as a Fender, starts the bid at $50. Then openly admits that he thinks its a fake, cheap copy.

The bid's up to $610 already! :omg:

Wished I'd thought of that! :laugh2:
