Signature electric guitar of The Smiths guitarist with two Bare Knuckle pickups and Vintage Style "Floating" trem, including case
The Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar RW Lake Placid Blue delivers with two Bare Knuckle Single Coil Pickups first-class sounds between alternative and pop.
With his band The Smiths, British guitarist Johnny Marr shaped the Brit pop scene like no other in the wild 80s and always relied on guitars from Fender. Reason enough for the traditional American manufacturer to present the Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar RW Lake Placid Blue, a signature instrument for the Guitar Hero from Manchester.
Authentic Reproduction of Johnny Marrs 65 Jaguar
The model for Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar RW Lake Placid Blue was the original 65 Jaguar by The Smiths guitarist. Accordingly, his Signature model has an alder body and a bolted maple neck with rosewood fingerboard wrapped in a classic nitrocellulose finish. With a neck profile that is exactly the same as the neck and a short 24" scale, this unique Jaguar also offers a buttery-soft playability.
Bare Knuckle Single Coils
The Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar RW Lake Placid Blue uses two hand-wound Bare Knuckle Custom Wound Single Coils as pickups. With their characteristic serrated metal bezels, these pickups deliver a distinctive sound that is the perfect foundation for pop and alternative sounds. The 4-way switch allows the pickups to be selected in different configurations, while two bright switches in the upper body horn significantly enhance the sound image.

Wonderful guitar. Straight out of the box, it requires a quick tune up, and I recorded with it. It was shipped from the warehouse in Germany, so very surprised it settled down so quickly! I found the neck very comfortable immediately.and the tones are varied and very usable. A recommended purchase, although slightly more expensive than a standard jaguar. I have a custom shop telecaster and it matches it’s playability. Very similar necks. I hope this helps on deciding wether to purchase one yourself. Enjoy!

A very nice guitar indeed. Looks lovely. Not set up very well but easily fixed, however considering the price.... The short scale suits my little fingers. The pickups are great, very musical sounding. A little fret buzz at the business end, but this may be improved by fitting 11’s if your a bit of a thrasher. It’s great at what it does and cuts through the mix very well. It’s the best Jaguar I have played so far.
It’s a lot to pay for a niche guitar and I don’t think it will hold its value as well as a more mainstream alternative, but it’s a great addition to the standards. Works very well with my Princeton amp and Timmy clone pedal.
