1962 Fender Jaguar

by David Mosley
(England)

Serial number neck plate missing & replaced with a Fender Corona California plate before my ownership. Neck is stamped 1 AUG 62 B. Seems original except for one screw securing pick up switches. No tremolo arm when I got it so arm is a new one. What value would you put on it?

Best Regards David Mosley
