The Fender Jaguar is an electric guitar made by Fender and characterized by an offset-waist body, a relatively unusual switching system with two separate circuits for lead and rhythm, and a short-scale 24″ neck. The Jaguar was taken out of production in 1975, and vintage Jaguars became popular first with American punk rock players, and then more so during the alternative rock and indie rock movements of the 1980s and 1990s.
Here a Jaguar based on Johnny Marr’s 1965 Jaguar model with some special features such as the 2 bare knuckle pickups. The Johnny Marr’s signature Jaguar also, has in stead of a slider switch, a special four-way blade pickup switch on the lower horn, and controls the bridge pickup alone, the bridge and neck pickups in parallel, the neck pickup alone, and the neck and bridge pickups. More electric wizardry, in the upper horn of the Johnny Marr Jaguar features two slide switches—a “universal” bright switch that kicks everything up a notch or two, and a separate bright switch that only affects the “series” pickup switch position. All in all a great guitar, very playable and cool to look at too.
