Description
The Fender Limited Edition Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar in Black is a sharp choice for rhythm-forward players or anyone looking for a unique take on a classic offset. Whether you're layering textures in the studio or shaping parts for a live set, this Jaguar is built around versatility. Developed with Marr himself, it blends his custom wiring and pickup preferences with traditional Jaguar design, making it a solid fit for intermediate to pro players who want something outside the usual Strat or Tele realm.
This version features three custom-wound Kent Armstrong lipstick-style pickups and a smartly designed 4-way blade selector with Marr's own switching system. You get a wide spread of tones-from tight, bright chords to more focused lead sounds-thanks to the series and parallel pickup options. The body's alder, finished in a sleek gloss black nitro lacquer, and paired with a vintage-style floating tremolo and Mustang saddles for improved tuning and intonation over traditional Jaguar setups.
Playability is handled by a custom neck shape modeled after Marr's own '65 Jaguar, with a 9.5" radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 frets. It's smooth under the hand and comfortable for both chord work and lead runs. The electronics layout might take a second to learn, but it's intuitive once you're familiar. This one ships with a hardshell case and comes ready to plug in and make music. We like this one because it does everything a Jaguar should-just more reliably and with a broader range of tones.
