Limited Edition Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar

Johnny Marr, best known as the dynamic guitarist, arranger, and songwriter behind The Smiths, redefined UK pop in the 1980s. A master of melody, layering, and texture, Marr has since lent his unmistakable style to The The, The Pretenders, Modest Mouse, The Cribs, and his acclaimed solo career.

Teaming up with Fender once again, Marr presents a new twist on his signature model, the Limited Edition Johnny Marr Signature Special Jaguar. This unique version features a custom gloss nitrocellulose black lacquer finish and combines custom-wound Kent Armstrong lipstick pickups with Marr’s personal wiring configuration. The result is a versatile instrument capable of everything from bright, chimey rhythms to smooth, singing leads. With classic looks and modern performance, this Jaguar captures Marr’s innovative spirit and tonal precision.
