Re: How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?
I recently acquired a Sherwood green JM Jag with some wear. I hope this helps:
That’s all I have for the time being, I’ll post pics in the main thread once I get it back from the shop

I have had an a olympic white one, played one brief show with it, otherwise it just sits in my music room on a rack and in my lap when I play it, and it still has probably 8-10 chips in the finish.

Mine only ever gets pulled out in the home studio, have had it for over two years and still looks new.

Re: How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?
Is the JM Jag really nitro?? It looks like it doesn't wear... More like it cracks

It has a hard, clear poly-like shell under the thin nitro. You can kinda see it in those Metallic KO pics there. Its not bare wood under that top coat

Re: How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?
I had a Metallic KO and can concur it ages like the pictures show above.
Personally, I thought it was a really disappointing finish. Felt like it wore really easily, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but that the wear wasn't that authentic. Shouldn't a metallic finish wear down to some kind of silver base coat for example, or at least a white primer?
Personally, I think I'd prefer a poly finish if this is how the modern nitro finishes are going to wear, although I think the AV65/AO finishes might be a bit better?

Re: How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?
Agreed. Though I love the colour itself, the wear feels a bit underwhelming. Has an 'abused' vibe rather than 'well played'. I've toyed with having mine refinished in champagne sparkle ala Grestch...guitarsammy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:57 pmI had a Metallic KO and can concur it ages like the pictures show above.

Re: How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?
Well there is a silver base coat visible on the spots where my Metallic KO has scars. Is this not the case with earlier Metallic KO’s?guitarsammy wrote: ↑Tue Jul 07, 2020 1:57 pmI had a Metallic KO and can concur it ages like the pictures show above.

Re: How does the Johnny Marr Jaguar age?
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.
