The The Smiths guitarist's original '65 Jaguar served as model for the Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar RW Olympic White. Accordingly, his Signature model features an alder body and a bolt-on maple neck with rosewood fretboard, which are wrapped in a classic nitrocellulose finish.

Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Electric Gu itar, Olympic White
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.
