That flexibility is part of their character, but not every player finds the original control system intuitive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny Marr’s design approaches the problem differently. The four-way selector provides the main pickup sounds immediately, while retaining two upper-horn switches for additional tonal shaping. The particularly useful addition is the \u003cstrong\u003eseries pickup combination\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the guitar a bigger, stronger output than the usual parallel two-pickup setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is still recognisably a Jaguar, but one whose controls have been optimised around real-world performance rather than historical convention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eStory \u0026amp; Context\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Fender Jaguar appeared in \u003cstrong\u003e1962\u003c\/strong\u003e as one of Fender’s most sophisticated electric guitars. Its short 24\" scale, extensive switching system, floating tremolo and offset body eventually found favour far beyond its original intended market, becoming closely associated with alternative and independent guitar music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohnny Marr developed a particularly strong relationship with the model. When Fender created his signature Jaguar, the design took inspiration from Marr’s own \u003cstrong\u003e1965 Jaguar\u003c\/strong\u003e, including a custom neck profile based on that instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eJohnny Marr Jaguar was introduced in 2012\u003c\/strong\u003e, coinciding with the Jaguar’s 50th anniversary.

7.25\" radius, vintage frets and 24\" scale mean it has a deliberately traditional feel, so it is not intended to behave like a modern shred-oriented instrument.

Its \u003cstrong\u003e24\" scale is shorter than the 25.5\" scale used on most Stratocasters and Telecasters\u003c\/strong\u003e, so the frets sit slightly closer together and the strings can feel more supple at the same gauge. The offset body and 7.25\" fingerboard radius also create a distinctly different playing experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does the series pickup setting do?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePosition four connects the neck and bridge pickups in series rather than in parallel. This produces a fuller, stronger sound with more output, making it particularly useful when you want the Jaguar to drive an amplifier or pedal harder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Johnny Marr Jaguar suitable for lead guitar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, particularly for melodic, effects-driven and alternative lead styles. Players accustomed to very flat fingerboards and jumbo frets should be aware that the Marr Jaguar deliberately uses vintage-style frets and a 7.25\" radius.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does this Jaguar use Mustang saddles?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMustang-style saddles provide a straightforward grooved saddle design and form part of Marr’s revised bridge arrangement. Combined with the nylon post inserts, they help make the floating Jaguar bridge more stable while retaining its characteristic operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs a Jaguar good for players with smaller hands?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 24\" scale can be particularly comfortable because stretches between frets are slightly reduced compared with a 25.5\" scale guitar. Neck shape remains a personal preference, but players who find longer-scale instruments tiring often enjoy Jaguar and Mustang designs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use heavier strings on the Johnny Marr Jaguar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, although moving significantly away from the factory .010–.046 gauge may require adjustments to neck relief, bridge height, intonation and tremolo balance. A proper setup is recommended after substantial changes in string gauge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this guitar only suitable for Johnny Marr or The Smiths-style music?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Its association with Marr is important, but the electronics make it capable of far more than recreating his guitar parts. The pickup combinations work particularly well for indie, post-punk, alternative rock, ambient music, pop, studio layering and effects-heavy playing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Olympic White suit the Johnny Marr Jaguar?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOlympic White gives the offset Jaguar shape a clean, classic Fender appearance while allowing the extensive chrome hardware and black controls to stand out. It is a particularly understated option for players who want the unusual Marr specification without an overly elaborate finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fender","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56258421064060,"sku":"0116400705-o","price":2199.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/6457\/9484\/products\/0116400705_gtr_frt_001_rr.png?v=1625226509","url":"https:\/\/www.fairdealmusic.co.uk\/products\/open-box-fender-johnny-marr-jaguar-olympic-white","provider":"Fair Deal Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
