From Our Research Team:Get Your Hands on Johnny's Favorite Jag!From the Smiths to The The to the Pretenders to Modest Mouse and the Cribs, Johnny Marr is a guitar force to be reckoned with. FENDER® and Johnny Marr collaborated to create the Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar®. This signature model guitar is one that Johnny is recognized with and one that brings his ringing, jangly sound to life. The alder-bodied Jaguar® sports a 24" scale length with a vintage 7.25" fingerboard radius. Custom pickups give you tons of punch from this single-coil beast. Custom switching and modified hardware give this Jaguar increased playability and stability over its vintage counterparts. The Johnny Marr Jaguar is ready to pounce!Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Electric Guitar at a Glance:
Custom Hardware The Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar is as unique as its namesake. Start off with two custom Bare Knuckles Johnny Marr bridge and neck pickups for crisp, clear single-coil tone. The custom neck shape is based on Johnny's original 1965 Jaguar. An updated bridge gives you better stability and more accurate tuning. Custom switching offers unique configurations that will make your playing stand out from the band. A 4-position switch provides you with bridge, bridge and neck in parallel, neck, and bridge and neck in series pickup configurations. Really tweak your tone with a universal bright switch and a second bright switch for position four on the pickup selector.The Johnny Marr Jaguar is available in two colors: Olympic White and Metallic KO (based off the color of Johnny's faded Candy Apple Red Jag). Unique Fender design and style Fender guitars of the late '50s and early '60s borrowed a lot from the automobile designs of the times, which meant lots of chrome and lines that were anything but "traditional." The Jaguar used the same offset-waist body shape as the Jazzmaster™ (first introduced in about 1958) and added even more chrome across the face of the instrument, including a plethora of switch and control plates, as well as a separate bridge and "floating" vibrato system. Short Scale Neck You'll love the shorter (and somewhat mellower) 24-inch scale of the Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar®, as opposed to the standard 25-1/2-inch scale made popular by the Stratocaster®. The rosewood fingerboard features large pearloid block inlays and is very comfortable to play and vintage-style 7.25" radius. The neck also features the vintage-style truss rod that is accessed at the base of the neck. Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Electric Guitar Features:

1st--I am a diehard fan of the Jaguar. I love the offset body, the short scale, the spicy, snappy tone. I play ambient psychedelic cowboy surf music, and I never had a problem with the existing RI mod... read more [+]el. However, the new pickups and the new circuitry are interesting alternatives to the traditional model. I like the beefy neck, could have used a more modern radius and bigger frets, wish they had put the truss rod adjustment at the other end. I think the mustang bridge is too wide for this neck. All of that said I like the tone of the guitar. It's a little hotter than the stock pickups, and the new parallel switching circuitry with the strangle switches IS an interesting mod.May 19, 2012 Music Background: Pro Musician I don't like the overzied toggle right in the strumming area. Telecasters have them offset to the right--they could have used a smaller more discreet knob. I like the fixed trem arm, but the main reason to get this model is for the pickups and the new circuitry. When I first saw the ads I was never more excited about a new guitar model--but in retrospect it isn't all that much different than an AVRI with a Mastery bridge. I had debated getting the Thin Skin jag with the larger radius and frets, but I will probably keep the Marr for it's distinctive character. I got the copper color, which I think is very nice. The thing to remember--if you already have a Jag, this isn't going to be a revolutionary upgrade. If you are a Telecaster guy who wants to move to a short scale guitar, this might be more familiar territory. I don't have a problem with the high E being so close to the edge of the neck, but a Mastery bridge would definitely address that issue. Considering the hype and the price, they could have made a few more improvements that would have really put it over the top--instead, what they delivered isn't so much an improvement over the AVRI as an alternative. close [-] Credible

Heard about this guitar and was immediately intrigued. Saw JM back in the early Smith's days and always admired not only his style and skill but approach. Watched the video where he was talking about ... read more [+]the development of this signature model and was impressed by his genuine enthusiasm for the instrument and attention to detail. OK bought it. I'm just a regular player, for enjoyment in my own time, write my own tunes etcMay 10, 2012 Music Background: Play for fun, 15+ years, still learning Great range of tones - from sparkly to thicker but still energetic (not just bright). I have the Classic Player Special HH and they complement one another really well (this is darker, more solid tones). You can see the vid for the various tweaks but I can say - switches work great and make a difference to tone, body shape is really comfortable and the neck works well for me. No blemishes or rough edges on finish. One thing - though this is mustang type bridge -strings do not slip off - I do get buzz at the bridge which is annoying, hence slight mark down. Doesn't really affect tone in meaningful way but worth sharing. BTW - nice hard case and crushed blue velvet interior frames my Olympic White model really well. Sounds great straight and also works really well more creatively with delays etc. Not a high gain monster! I waited a long time to be able to buy a guitar of my choice, this is it and shall absolutely keep it. It's not the only guitar I'll ever own (have owned) but that's not how we work is it. close [-] Also popular
