Artist Series Jaguar in Metallic KO Finish with Rosewood Fingerboard

The Fender Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar Guitar Metallic KO, New and exciting for 2012. Note, image shows incorrect colour. The Johnny Marr Jaguar Metallic KO was born out of the collaboration of Fender and Johnny Marr (guitarist with Manchester based 1980s band The Smiths), the Johnny Marr Jaguar comes with bucketful's of specialized features, such as the custom-wound Bare Knuckle Johnny Marr single-coil neck and bridge pickups; custom-shaped maple neck based on his 1965 Jaguar, with vintage-style truss rod, lacquer finish and Marr’s signature on the front of the headstock; four-position blade-style pickup switch mounted to the lower-horn chrome plate (bridge, bridge and neck in parallel, neck, bridge and neck in series); two upper-horn slide switches (universal bright and pickup switch position four bright); Jaguar bridge with Mustang® saddles, nylon bridge post inserts for improved stability, chrome cover and vintage-style floating tremolo tailpiece; and “taller” tremolo arm with arm-sleeve nylon insert to prevent arm swing.

The Metallic KO finish is a distinctive orange tint derived from the heavily faded Candy Apple Red finish of one of Marr’s favorite ’60s-era Fender models.

Accessories coming with the Johnny Marr Jaguar include a custom case with blue crushed velvet interior, strap, cable and flat-wound strings.
