Just watched the vid for this guitar. I hadn't realised how much he was involved in the design of the signature model.

Great video - can be found here:

http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazine/Issue/Daily/News/Fender_Introduces_Johnny_Marr_Signature_Jaguar.aspx

I think I'd like one of these now.


There's quite a substantial article about the Johnny Marr Jag in the latest issue of Guitarist.  And another interview with Marr in the new issue of Guitar & Bass.

It sounds very cool.... even gives me GAS, to be honest!  But then when he says "...it's like a Ricky and a Gretsch crossed, but I play it like a Fender" I realise it wouldn't really be my kind of thing at all.  :lol:  
BKPs I've Got:  RR, BKP-91, ITs, VHII, CS set, Emeralds
BKPs I Had:  RY+Abraxas, Crawlers, BD+SM

I didn't hear that bit, must have switched off (mentally) for a few moments.

I've had a brief look online but can't find any guide prices. Am I missing something? I know it's not on the market yet.
I think I hate being indecisive.

Sorry, I was quoting from the magazine interviews!  :)

With a few simple strokes of the keyboard you have restored my confidence in my concentration levels. Cheers!

The Jag does seem to sound good in the clips. I love his chord work and the guitar seems perfect for that.

I was thinking just that. He makes it look so easy although I'm sure it isn't easy. It might be for some people but certainly not for me.
