Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Rosewood Fingerboard Olympic White Electric Guitar

Johnny Marr’s legendary guitar work with the Smiths didn’t just define 1980s British pop—it created a blueprint for melodic genius that continues to inspire musicians worldwide. This signature Jaguar captures the essence of Marr’s distinctive sound through innovative design choices that set it apart from traditional models. The guitar features a unique four-way blade pickup switch positioned on the lower horn, offering bridge pickup alone, bridge and neck pickups in parallel, neck pickup alone, and both pickups in series configuration.

Built with meticulous attention to Marr’s playing preferences, this Jaguar incorporates special nylon bridge-post inserts for enhanced stability and a taller tremolo arm with nylon-sleeve insert to prevent unwanted movement. The neck profile is based directly on Marr’s own 1965 Jaguar, providing that familiar, broken-in feel that serious players appreciate. Premium nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the body woods to breathe naturally, contributing to the instrument’s authentic tonal character while developing that distinctive aged appearance over time.

The sonic capabilities are further enhanced by custom-wound “Bare Knuckle” Johnny Marr single-coil pickups in both neck and bridge positions, specially voiced to complement his inventive playing style. Two additional slide switches on the upper horn provide tonal versatility—a universal bright switch for overall presence boost, and a dedicated bright switch that specifically affects the series pickup position, giving players precise control over their sound palette.
