How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?

[Steadyriot.]

Is this a function of the JM Jag finish or are all of the new "nitro" guitars aging like this? Can't really recall seeing aging pics of other models.

It's a JM thing, I can't recall anyone complaining about modern Nitro finishes aging like people do about the Marr ones. Especially the earlier runs were prone to damage. Can't speak on the recent ones.

Hmm that's weird wonder what's up with that.

I didn’t own one of these but my friend did so I saw it pretty often, one of the MKO ones. That finish was the thinnest I’ve seen on any guitar, vintage, modern, reissue, whatever. You could dent it with yr knuckle

I am so close to getting one of these. Just need to make sure it’s what I want.

Why do you want one?

I’m torn with the neck. I have a strat that has vintage frets like on the Marr and 7.25 radius, but I also enjoy the larger frets and the specs of the neck on the American Professional Jaguar. I played both and would likely be happy with either model, but the Marr just seems a little bit more special I guess? The finish, the pickups....

The Marr is an objectively better guitar and the AP is like a lesser than but totally inspired by version, only it costs about the same. Go with the Marr 10/10, yeah.

I dunno. Pickups are subjective, and the Am Pro pickups are actually really good. I agree that the JM finishes are better, but for me the neck radius/frets are kind of a dealbreaker. I'd take the AP over the JM 9 times out of 10.

Well I went with the AP in red. Nothing against the Marr is any way but the neck just suited me better on the AP.

Saywhat?

Oh you meant how the Johnny Marr guitar is aging. My bad.

Hehe . Nice one.
