Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar – Olympic White
A Bold Reimagining of a Classic, Built for the Iconic Johnny Marr
The Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar in Olympic White is a masterfully crafted signature model designed in collaboration with one of the most inventive and influential guitarists of the past four decades. Best known for his work with The Smiths, as well as stints with Modest Mouse, The The, The Pretenders, and his acclaimed solo career, Johnny Marr’s approach to tone, texture, and melody redefined what a guitar could do—and this signature Jaguar brings that same innovative spirit to your fingertips.
Based on Marr’s heavily modified 1965 Jaguar, this model boasts a range of unique, artist-inspired enhancements that set it apart from traditional Jaguar models. At its core are dual custom-wound Bare Knuckle Johnny Marr single-coil pickups, offering crisp, articulate tone with the power to cut through any mix. The four-position blade selector includes a series wiring option for a thicker, punchier tone, while two upper-horn slide switches allow for tailored brightness and low-end roll-off options—ideal for sculpting your own signature sound.
The maple neck features a custom profile based on Marr's original, paired with a 7.25” radius rosewood fingerboard and 22 vintage-style frets for authentic feel and classic playability. A modified Jaguar bridge with Mustang® saddles and nylon post inserts offers enhanced tuning stability—especially when using the vintage-style floating tremolo and taller trem arm, which locks into position with a nylon sleeve insert.
Finished in a timeless Olympic White nitrocellulose lacquer, the Johnny Marr Jaguar is a visually stunning, sonically versatile instrument made for players who don’t want to sound like everyone else.
