The 1965 Jaguar Heavy Relic is a mid-sixties Jaguar aged hard: a 2-piece select alder body with the nitrocellulose lacquer worn deep, and a maple neck aged to match. It's one of the more heavily worn offsets in the Time Machine line.
The neck has a '60s Oval "C" back and a 7.25" to 9.5" vintage compound radius, round near the nut and flatter toward the body, with 22 narrow tall frets on 3A rosewood. The 24" scale lowers string tension, so bends come easier. Two Custom Shop Hand-Wound Jaguar pickups each sit on their own on/off slide switch, with master volume and tone, and the RSD Jaguar/Jazzmaster bridge pairs with a pop-in vibrato arm.
For lighter wear, look at the 1964 Jaguar Journeyman Relic or the 1963 Jaguar Journeyman Relic.
Finishes are Faded Ocean Turquoise, Faded Purple Metallic and Faded Graffiti Yellow.
The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.
