Description
Johnny Marr is best known as the strikingly dynamic guitarist-arranger-songwriter behind the Smiths, who redefined & ruled U.K. pop in the 1980s. A master of melody, layering & texture, Marr has brought his own instantly identifiable genius to the proceedings ever since, in stints with The The, the Pretenders, Modest Mouse & the Cribs, to say nothing of his solo career & innumerable guest appearances. The Johnny Marr Jaguar is a fantastically non-standard model that is as distinctive as the sounds he wrings from it. Professionally set up with fresh strings & low action so it's ready to play straight out of the case.
