My main guitar

This is the only Jaguar baritone you'll find in 27 inches. Very interesting to be able to have a low tuning with this typical fender sound. I've used it on the recording of a doom album. Our guitars were ed in drop A. It was the only baritone guitar we had. This lady saved the recording of our rhythmic parts and add her magic little fender thing in the sound. It's a MIJ with a very good construction quality. And it's cheap. A must have!

If you ever consider selling it, please let me know. It seems impossible for me to get one and that's why I started molesting people online who claim to have one.
