2016 FENDER ’65 ‘JOHNNY MARR’ SIG. JAGUAR IN KANDY ORANGE METALLIC FINISH

The Johnny Marr Jaguar is a fantastically non-standard model that is as distinctive as the sounds he wrings from it.

 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 Pretenders, Modest Mouse and the Cribs—to say nothing of his solo career and innumerable guest appearances. 

 

 The 2016 Fender ’65 Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar at a glance:

  • 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.

"Making this signature Jaguar has been a four year journey,” “I've taken all the aspects of the guitar in every direction I could, to improve it without losing the classic features that I liked from the original design. It's been a labour of love and obsession, and a privilege. I've used it for everything I've done since I started making it. It's my perfect guitar." -- Johnny Marr
