1963. The Beatles. A Fender Jaguar was my first love.
That Teisco Sears knockoff was what I showed Grandma in the catalog.
Got around to that wicked Surf machine with tremelo thing.
Gave a new Jag a test drive at the guitar store; what a piece of junk!
Why do they lovingly copy every mistake in the history of guitar design?
Oh yeah, idiots will pay a grand, even if it's Japanese made.
For something affordable and Fender, found a Jagstang on craigslist in Seattle. Owned by female working bass player who got it second hand to try out the 6 string thing. Nearly perfect and stock except the missing trem bar and JB bridge pickup (like Kurt used). Amazing sounds!
The 24" scale was way small for my fat fingers and it was too heavy and valuable for the boyz to screw around with. Not really colllectible with the swapped (better) pickup and 50th anniv sticker removed.
Sold it to a kid down the street. So long, Kurt.
