I personally like the black the most out of all the colours released, kind of is a blend of his Rickenbacker and jaguar.

The lake placid to me is so ugly, that mint guard combo is just blah!

Is there a mint guard on it? The guard looks white to me. But it is kind of hard to tell with the lighting.

I have been considering a mint guard for my black marrguar. The black on black IS a little boring, but the tort on black look seems very generic.

I like that. The mint pickguard gives it a more faded look. I think plain white is too much contrast.

Damn man! Looks better than I expected. I think the bound neck pushes it over the edge for me. What are the details?

+1 on details, George L..that's a fantastic looking Jag !

P.S;
I initially thought that was a pair of Fender socks draped over the neck :) !

Best,
Jeff.

Does anyone know whether the Marrguar pickups are North up or South up? Thanks.

Debating sending out my OW Marr for a refinish with matching headstock. Was thinking about selling it to find an AV65 but the IBM ones are rare and in the end it would cost me about as much a refinish and I like the unbound Marr neck better anyway.

OK, so....Big Marr fan here...I've been following this thread, and did watch the video with the LPB guitar.

I thought the video was great, the guitar looks great as well. A nice master class with a master guitar player. Very cool.

After watching to the end though, not exactly convinced that this was not just going to be a one off that they made for him, but then...something happened...


Yep.


I was in NYC last night, and unfortunately had prior obligations and was unable to attend the Gramercy Theater (or, any show this run, unfortunately), and I had to get back across the country early today as well.


Then, in San Francisco, this happened:

YES! Very cool guy. Totally open to chatting with me as we walked toward our gates. Of course, I mentioned seeing the video and all the talk about the LPB, etc. I did ask him if Fender was going to do an LPB production run, and he confirmed it is indeed the case. Not sure when. Not exactly sure about the numbers either, but he mentioned thinking it was going to be an "initial run of about 300 guitars" - and that he'd been waiting for them to make him a LPB for awhile, then something about "that weird green color" :D

He asked me about my stuff as well. I told him I had a JMJM, and he said "I've got one of those." I'm guessing he was referring to the earlier American made sig model, but we didn't dwell on it. He talked up his Jag a lot. You can tell he really loves it, explaining to me about how "it's not like a regular Jag" and it's "better in some ways that the vintage ones"

Anyway, there you have it. Obviously, I'm stoked. He was very cool. I topped it off by scoring some tickets for the West Coast tour in September at Roseland.

Hope this helps in the decision making process. 8)

Nice one man. Hope it comes out soon! I'm actually not a fan of LPB but maybe I'll change my mind once I see pics :)
