Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent (upgraded pickups, new pickguard; original pickups & pickguard included)
It's tempting to say this is how all Jaguars should be! The neck, the hardware upgrades, the slightly tweaked switching layout, the pickups--it all adds up to just a really, really good idea. Perfect for anyone looking to use vintage muscle to push into a whole new vision of what a Fender is supposed to do!
SP Luthier Notes: Setup
From Fender
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. The Johnny Marr Jaguar is a fantastically non-standard model that is as distinctive as the sounds he wrings from it.
