I Restored a 1965 Jaguar — Watch This Before Buying Vintage

Before you drop $5,000–$10,000 on a vintage Fender… watch this first. In this video, I walk through the full inspection and restoration of a 1965 Sonic Blue Fender Jaguar that was sold as a “body-only refinish” with otherwise original parts. Once it hit my bench, I found several things that weren’t disclosed — from swapped pickup positions and incorrect screws, to fret wear that absolutely did not match the listing description. This isn’t a takedown of sellers...Most are honest. But when you’re buying vintage — especially online — a lot can slip through the cracks. I’ll show you exactly what to look for: -Neck stamps & model codes -Pot dates -Refinish tells -Brazilian rosewood veneer thickness -Fret height measurements (when a refret is near) -Vibrato cavity issues -Pickup originality & fragile coil wires -Truss rod function -Solder joints & hardware inconsistencies If you’re hunting for a vintage Jaguar, Jazzmaster, Mustang, or any other vintage Fender offset, this should help you avoid expensive surprises. This particular ’65 now plays beautifully — but it took some real work to get it there.
