The 1966 Jaguar spotlighted this month has the typical features for that year, including a gold Transition Fender logo decal on the headstock, a bound dot inlayed (large block inlays became standard by 1967) rosewood fingerboard, and a tortoise shell pickguard. Beginning that year, Kluson tuners were replaced by Fender designed F stamped keys made by Schaller in Germany. The same backwards F was also stamped boldly on the neck plate. This guitar has a see-through blond finish over an ash body (an alder body was used for sunburst or solid color guitars). The custom color option on this guitar was an $18 up-charge.
