Fender Limited Edition Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar - Black

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 matching black headcap and vintage-style tuners that unite classic aesthetics with modern engineering to unlock new realms of musical possibilities.

Custom Neck Shape

The neck's custom profile recreates the beloved feel of Marr's 1965 Jaguar, offering players an authentic, broken-in comfort that can only come from decades of play.

9.5” - Radius Rosewood Fretboard

Offering a flatter radius fretboard on a vintage correct neck allows the player to experience effortless bending and chording while producing a smoother feel.

Custom-Wound Kent Armstrong Johnny Marr Single-Coil Lipstick Pickups

Premium Kent Armstong lipstick pickups are custom-wound to Johnny’s precise specifications. These pickups produce classic single-coil tone with exceptional character.

Custom Jaguar Wiring Configuration

A refined take on classic Jaguar electronics, this custom wiring configuration employs three upper-horn slide switches for enhanced sonic control. The thoughtfully designed system includes a Pickup Selector switch and dual High Pass Filters with series capability, providing an expanded palette of tonal options.

Jaguar Bridge With Mustang Saddles

The Jaguar bridge combines classic design with Mustang saddles and specialized nylon post inserts for exceptional tuning stability and precise intonation. Protected by a chrome cover, this refined bridge system delivers both improved performance and traditional aesthetics.

Vintage-Style Floating Tremolo

The classic floating tremolo tailpiece incorporates a 'taller' tremolo arm and strategic nylon sleeve insert, ensuring stable operation without sacrificing vintage feel.
