FENDER 2008 First Year Classic Player Jaguar Special Candy Apple Red 45572
Description
This is a 2008 Fender Classic Player Jaguar Special in a beautiful Candy Apple Red finish. This is the first year of production for this model and it's in super clean shape. Offset body with rear contour. Traditional vintage Jaguar switching setup. Super big standout on this guitar are the fretboard and frets. The board is a rich, dark rosewood (so much better than the modern Pau Ferro boards). And the frets were given a professional dressing with rolled fret ends. Plays like butter. Cosmetically there is only one small mark to be seen located on the back of the guitar (see pics). Weight is 8 pounds, 9 ounces. No case. I do a full cleaning and setup on all guitars. (Details on my setups and packing at bottom of listing.) Thanks for looking!

Guitar Setup
All our setups are done by our in-house trained luthier. Setup includes new strings (9s or 10s depending on what the nut is cut for), overall polish, cleaning any gunk off fingerboard, oiling neck, and polishing frets when necessary. We spray out any pots that are noisy, turn the truss rod (if necessary) and set string height at low-to-medium action depending on string buzz present. Since setup is highly subjective you may need to get it set to your particular needs by your personal luthier. Basses get the same treatment minus the string change. Thanks!
Packing
I use quality boxes, thick bubble wrap, and peanuts to pack guitars. I have a very high rate of successful guitar and bass shipping (meaning few damaged instruments). I have been doing this 10 years and know how to pack well--with or without a hard case. I wrote a detailed story with photos on how I pack a guitar, which you can find on my StillKickinMusic site blog. If you Google "THERE IN ONE PIECE...How to Pack a Guitar" you will find it. Thanks.
