1967 Fender Jaguar

by James
(Englert)

My father passed down to me a fender jaguar guitar. With some quick research i am under the impression it is a 1967 because the serial no. on the back neck plate 189051 and there is the Fender "F" on the plate as well. From my research i understand that that makes it a CBS era guitar. The patent number on the tremelo plate reads #2,972,923.
