Re: Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar
Responding to my own post with sad news. When meeting Marr, because of the long meet and greet line, he just received a hello and a fist bump. Unfortunately he didn't get to chat or ask about new Marr Jaguars.

Re: Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar
From JM’s instagram - do my eyes deceive me or is that shell pink and is that a matching headstock?

Hard to tell because of the filter, but I was thinking the same when I saw it.

Re: Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar
Looks like Shell Pink to me, with headstock. I figure all Marr has to do is contact Fender and say what he wants, just for his personal use.
How many colors has this model been sold with? The orange, white, I recall a green one. What else?
Does he play his own signature models, off the shelf? Or are those models (with his signature on the headstock) just based on his preferences/specs, and he just has a stable of his own customized Jaguars that may - or may not - point to any future color schemes?

That 'fever dreams yellow' is very similar to the Lego colour 'bright light orange'

Re: Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar
My understanding (from various print interviews over the years) is that he plays the exact same guitar as the shop models, but without his name on the head and with the chrome dulled down. Obviously he has some custom colours (and there’s a blue one with a sustainer installed), but the rest is supposedly the same.pscates wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 4:26 amDoes he play his own signature models, off the shelf?

Re: Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar
Original run:
Olympic White
KO Orange (basically a really faded CAR)
Limited runs:
Sherwood Green (mint guard)
Black (black guard)
Lake Placid Blue ()
First couple years of the white (especially) were really prone to chipping.

The Lake Placid Blue always had a rosewood fretboard, not laurel.cestlamort wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 12:35 pmOriginal run:

Re: Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar
whoops. I could swear they had laurel, which I used as good excuse to not get one!BlueMelody wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 3:57 pmThe Lake Placid Blue always had a rosewood fretboard, not laurel.cestlamort wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 12:35 pmOriginal run:

I've never seen a Fender with a laurel fretboard. Only Squiers.cestlamort wrote: ↑Wed Sep 21, 2022 4:13 pmwhoops. I could swear they had laurel, which I used as good excuse to not get one!
A shame, really, because I find laurel more similar to EIR in colour, and think it suits a lot of colours better (mainly the blues and greens). PF is on the red side of the rosewood family, so I find it looks out of place on LPB, sherwood, etc.
Laurel is slowly getting the reputation of being a budget wood used on budget guitars. I really want to see it used on higher end models before it becomes accepted internet guitar lore. It's a very pretty wood.
