Johnny Marr Jaguar®

Model : 0116400

Fender is very proud to introduce the Johnny Marr signature Jaguar® guitar. Marr is best known, of course, as the strikingly dynamic and influential anti-hero guitarist-arranger-all-around-musical-wunderkind behind Manchester quartet the Smiths, which virtually redefined and ruled U.K. pop throughout the 1980s. A master of melody, layering and texture, Marr has always brought his own instantly identifiable ringing, jangling genius to the proceedings, as he has done in post-Smiths stints with The The, Electronic, the Pretenders and Johnny Marr and the Healers, and right up to the present with Modest Mouse, the Cribs and innumerable guest appearances.

The Johnny Marr signature Jaguar is a fantastically non-standard version of the model that is as distinctive as the sounds Marr wrings from it, with a wealth of highly specialized features including custom-wound Bare Knuckle Johnny Marr single-coil neck and bridge pickups; custom-shaped maple neck based on Marr's 1965 Jaguar, with vintage-style truss rod, lacquer finish and Marr's signature on the front of the headstock; four-position blade-style pickup switch mounted to the lower-horn chrome plate (bridge, bridge and neck in parallel, neck, bridge and neck in series); two upper-horn slide switches (universal bright and pickup switch position four bright); Jaguar bridge with Mustang® saddles, nylon bridge post inserts for improved stability, chrome cover and vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece; and "taller" tremolo arm with arm-sleeve nylon insert to prevent arm swing.

The Perfect Jaguar

(5.0)

Semi-Professional Alternative Pop Rock

I already had a Jaguar when I bought this one, but Johnny Marr really nailed it with his improvements to the classic Jaguar setup. The pickups are nice, the improved tremolo system works wonders and the 4-way switch is brilliant and looks cool to boot. This is my new main axe.

Took receipt of this guitar in white last week, as a long standing Gibson player was blown away by the setup and finish of the guitar. Case is quality and the whole package feels like care has gone into it.
The guitar is very playable straight out the box, good finish and when plugged in sings. A wide variety of tones are available with the interesting but well thoughtout pickup selection. Certainly not just for those looking for the treble side of guitar playing.

The Jaguar ups without the downs

(5.0)

Amateur Blues Alternative Rock Classic Rock Heavy Metal Folk Country Punk

This is a monster of a guitar. There has been a lot of tweaking and development to make this a Jaguar which gives the best of the features without the annoyances. The short scale neck is probably the only thing that would put some people off - if you're use to a full size neck it feels a little small initially, but if you play this guitar as much as it deserves, you soon get use to size. The Bare Knuckle pick-ups and series switches give a lot of versatility in tonal sound - from the twangy surf sounds for which this guitar is famous to a kick-ass humbucker sound for a bit more punch.

It feels like a special guitar, it plays like special guitar, and it looks beautiful - the future as seen from the 60s. If they played guitars in Kubrick's 2001, they'd play these.
