1962 Fender Jaguar Factory Custom Color OLYMPIC WHITE Pre-CBS w Original Brown Case & Strap!
Here is a wonderful 1962 Fender Jaguar in rare factory custom color Olympic White with matching headstock. This is an early example with a September 1962 neck date, featuring one of the earlier curved (round-lam) rosewood fingerboards.
The guitar is 100% original with the only exception being the tremolo arm. The finish is also 100% original, showing the correct Desert Sand undercoat, and is a great example of early pre-CBS Fender craftsmanship.
Condition is very good overall. There is some finish checking and light flaking in a few areas, which is not uncommon for these custom colors. Because of this, you can slightly see the center seam on the back of the body. There is also some honest wear on the back of the neck and a few light marks throughout, but nothing out of line for a vintage piece like this.
The Details
- Condition: Very Good (Original Finish)
- Originality: 100% original except tremolo arm
- Finish: Original Olympic White over Desert Sand undercoat with checking and some flaking
- Notes: Early 1962 example with round-lam board and matching headstock
Playability & Sound
The guitar plays very well and sounds excellent. The neck has a slightly chunkier feel compared to some later Jaguars, which many players prefer. The original pickups are strong and clear, delivering that classic early Jaguar tone.
