Johnny Marr is best known as the strikingly dynamic guitarist-arranger-songwriter behind the Smiths, who redefined and ruled U.K. pop in the 1980s. A master of melody, layering and texture, Marr has brought his own instantly identifiable genius to the proceedings ever since, in stints with The The, the Pretenders Modest Mouse and the Cribs—to say nothing of his solo career and innumerable guest appearances. The Johnny Marr Jaguar is a fantastically non-standard model that is as distinctive as the sounds he wrings from it. Offering a wealth of highly specialized features ideal for discerningly unconventional guitarists, this model is based on Marr’s modified 1965 Jaguar. Dual custom-wound Bare Knuckle Johnny Marr single-coil pickups crank out incisive tone that’s just the thing for slashing through a sonically dense mix.
The
four-position blade pickup switch includes a series wiring option, for
thicker tone with higher output while the dual upper-horn slide switches
“brighten” the tone with a low end roll-off either universally, or in
position four. The maple neck sports a custom profile taken from Marr’s
original, along with vintage-style truss rod adjustment at the heel
while the 7.25”-radius rosewood fingerboard bears 22 vintage-style
frets. Modified to Marr’s specifications, the Jaguar bridge features
Mustang saddles, a chrome cover and nylon posts inserts for improved
stability, protecting against shifts that may occur with heavy tremolo
use. The vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece includes a “taller”
tremolo arm with a nylon sleeve insert, ensuring it stays in whatever
position you place it. This guitar’s hardware and chrome control plates
add a touch of space-age charm to the graceful offset design while the
redesigned contours and 24” scale length will be comfortable for players
of any size. Finished with nitrocellulose lacquer, this guitar will
wear naturally, reflecting a player’s personality and playing style. A
thoughtful update of a classic Fender design, the Johnny Marr Jaguar is a
flexible guitar for unique players. Finish: Black
