I saw this video and am intrigued by Roy's guitar. I think that it is a 1963 vintage Fender Jaguar. Can someone confirm that? Has anyone ever played one of these?
1963 Fender Jaguar?

Dunno, but it's around there. The video says it's 1964. The guitar is definitely a Jaguar, and the Jaguar was introduced in 1962.
It looks like it's painted in Shoreline Gold (possibly Inca Silver), with a painted headstock. Matching headstocks were rare back then, so it was probably a custom order (SLG and IS were custom colors to begin with). Can't say if it's a '63, but it's definitely a Jaguar.

It sure seems to be a metallic. Around the 2 min mark the body and head both spaz out the camera from the reflection. I always heard white guitars could sort of do that. That's why tvy.
Quite the entertainer.

You just gotta love Roy Clark. The short scale and drop tuning made that sound like a baritone.
I am no expert, but I'd go with the 1962 or 1963. I saw in a coffee table book I have no Fender, that they built a 'Firemist Gold' Jag for the 1962 NAMM. Roy's looks exactly like it and as @BatUtilityBelt said, it coincides with the timelines. That could very well be the NAMM guitar he has in that video, since Firemist Gold wasn't a popular color for Fender.
