DESCRIPTION
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 The, the Pretenders, Modest Mouse and the Cribs – to say nothing of his solo career and innumerable guest appearances.
Marr has teamed up with Fender® once again, bringing a new twist on his signature model—the Limited-Edition Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar®. This unique take on the classic Jaguar® features a custom gloss nitrocellulose black lacquer finish. Under the hood, the Jaguar® Special combines custom-wound Kent Armstrong™ lipstick pickups with Marr’s personal wiring scheme for an expansive range of tones ranging from bright, chimey rhythms to smooth, singing leads. Attention to detail shows in the gloss nitrocellulose black lacquer and vintage-style tuners that unite classic aesthetics with modern engineering to unlock new realms of musical possibilities.
