2004 Fender Jaguar JG66 MH, Order, Ebony Fretboard, Matching Headstock, Gunmetal Hardware, Black, Alder, Non Catalog

c.2004 Fender Japan non-catalog order JG66 Jaguar in black with matching headstock, simplified "Fender®"-only decal, ebony fretboard, and gunmetal hardware. This incredibly rare order model is the only known factory “blacked-out” JG66, and only vintage spec offset with gunmetal appointments (compared to the stop tail equipped JGS-78 and JGB-95 models from the early 2000s).

Also one of the only instruments produced with an ebony fretboard (besides the early 1990s non-catalog “115 WAL” suffix walnut instruments produced by FujiGen).

Lastly (and strangely), it is also the only model with factory painted pickup covers. (To my knowledge, the first Japanese Jaguar featuring black plastic covers wasn’t produced until after the dissolution Fender Japan, Ltd.—the 2022 Ishibashi “IS-22” Jaguar shop order with gold anodized pickguard.) I'm including some free black plastic covers as well, should the buyer choose to preserve the originals.

Ultimately a unique piece of Fender Japan's history, with only a few examples surfacing for sale in the past decade. (Many additional photos available on my website, as the 25 photo limit has been hit for this listing.)

100% fully functional.

Set up with D'Addario 10-46 strings, playing well up and down the neck with proper intonation.

Includes generic vintage Japanese hard case and new black plastic pickup covers. No vibrato arm.
