Review: Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar Signature Model

The Fender Jaguar is one of Fender’s quirkiest designs. The Johnny Marr Jaguar Signature Model celebrates the best of the Jaguar’s quirks (its twangy tone and wacky floating tremolo) while significantly improving the peculiarities many guitarists find off-putting (namely the confusing control configuration). As a result, Marr and Fender have improved the Jaguar in a way that will win the model new fans while also earning an enthusiastic thumbs up from players who appreciated the Jaguar from the beginning.
