timmo Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I see that Fender are making a USA Jaguar model. I wouldn`t mind one, but alas it seems that they aren`t making left handed bass, as far as i can see. The thing that gets me though, is they go to the trouble of this. http://www.fender.com/basses/jaguar/pawn-shop-reverse-jaguar-bass-maple-fingerboard-2-color-sunburst/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throwoff Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 That Pawnshop Jag is made in China I think. As I have said on here before as much as I would love more lefties it is a question of economics and even if every lefty bassist had the 1500 quid or whatever to buy a USA Lefty Jag bass they still would struggle to sell them. Of course if you have Jag GAS that just won't shift Fender Japan do them - http://www.fenderjapan.co.jp/jablh.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Where did you get that link? The lefty version of the Fender Japan Jaguar Bass is out of production, it's no longer available in the menu of the website, so I'm surprised the page is still up!

throwoff Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I just clicked through onto it on the Fender Japan site..... I have seen them on eBay brand new recently although none on there now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeftyJ Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 (edited) Ah, I see what you mean now. If you look in the menu in the column to the left, you won't find a JAB/LH under "left-handed models" but if you go to the page with left-handed models it does show up. However, it says in red numbers and Japanese writing: [color=#FF0000]2012 生産終了品 [/color] which apparently translates to "2012 production ended". They've been cancelling all cool lefty models lately No more '75 Jazz Bass reissue, no more Jaguar Bass, no more Jaguar guitars, no more Jazzmaster guitars, no more Mustang guitars Edited July 7, 2014 by LeftyJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmo Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 I read an article about Jaguars being made in the USA. I assumed it was all the range , as there was a photo of the pawnshop one . After reading it again, it is only the one model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
