Fender Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar Guitar, Olympic White

Fender Jaguar, Johnny Marr Signature Series Electric Guitar in Olympic White

As far as iconic British bands go, Manchester outfit The Smiths are certainly up there with The Beatles and Rolling Stones for many people.  Their strikingly distinct sound has stood the test of time, with their fanbase constantly growing year upon year across all demographics.  One of the key factors in the creation of that sound is guitarist/arranger/songwriter Johnny Marr, a veritable master of melody, layering and texture, and this signature series Jaguar is a superb non-standard model that is as distinctive as the sounds he produces with it.

A highly versatile, visually stunning custom guitar

Four-Way Pickup Switch

Eschewing the tradition Jaguar "slide" switches, Johnny has opted for a four-way pickup selector blade which gives you the option of each pickup individually, both pickups in parallel and both pickups in series, making for an incredibly versatile tonal experience.

Bridge Post / Tremolo Arm Sleeve Nylon Inserts

These inserts are purely functional in nature - the bridge post inserts help improve the bridges stability, and the Tremolo Arm Sleeve insert helps keep the arm from swinging loose. 

Nitrocellulose Lacquer Finish

This great original-era Fender electric guitar finish is still used today on select instruments.  The finish is thin, porous and delicate, and is prized for sonic qualities that let the guitar's body woods breathe with their true tonal character, as well as ageing in a distinctive way that many players find appealing.

Custom Neck Profile

This custom profile is based directly on Johnny's own 1965 Fender Jaguar, and has a comfortably broken-in feel to it, making for that authentic vintage playing experience.

Custom "Bare Knuckle" Pickups

Accurately designed and constructed in line with Johnny's very own specifications, these custom-wound single-coil pickups are as versatile as you could wish for, especially with the 4-way pickup selector and the two "Bright" slide switches.  Speaking of which...

Two "Bright" Slide Switches

Housed in the guitars upper-horn is an extra-special design element - a pair of slide switches.  The first is a "universal" bright switch that helps kick everything up a notch or two.  The second is only affects the pickups once the pickup switch is in the "series" position.
