2015 Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Offset Electric Guitar Metallic KO w/ Case, Hangtags

$1,999.99

+ shipping

Up for sale, a 2015 Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with a hardshell case and the original hangtags and case candy. Made in the USA and sporting a gloss Metallic KO nitro lacquer finish, the Marr Jaguar is one of the most feature-rich and player-friendly signature models Fender has released to date.

At the heart of this guitar is a pair of Bare Knuckle Jaguar pickups, custom-wound exclusively for this model, powerful and clear-sounding with alnico magnet construction that delivers both the expected sparkle and top end snap, as well as a round, focused low end. Designed to easily access the unique tones that Marr achieves with his trusty '65 Jag, the switching options on this model are wholly unique, with a four-way blade pickup selector switch that covers the usual bridge/neck/both switching options and a fourth setting that wires the two single coils in series for a fuller tone that has more output and kick.

The traditional Rhythm Circuit controls have also been substituted on this model with two Bright Switch toggles to engage hi-pass filters for more tic-tac top end and cut. The top switch is the Master Filter (up engages the cut); the lower switch, mounted at a right angle, only works on position four on the blade pickup selector switch (i.e. it introduces the cut). Both these switches are more low profile than the standard Rhythm Circuit controls, staying clear of the strum path. This Johnny Marr Jaguar has been dialed in here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar, where we specialize in Fender Offsets, with 11-49 strings, low action, and spot-on intonation.
