I just want to note for posterity that Johnny's current tour Jag appears to be Graffiti Yellow. That sure wasn't on my Marruar Color Bingo Card.

I'm sure some Fender dealer in '64 looked at the new Duo-Sonic II and thought, "That's not a Duo-Sonic. That's a Mustang".

Turmeric would not have been my first choice, personally.

I understand a lot go things... but not this. Saw him on Thursday and was appalled by that thing!

Same - needs a painted head-stock though (I know..)

One good thing about this though - If you wait they may be pretty cheap....

If the yellow Marr is the next special color its going to be the one to buy. In 20 years, what few that were made in that color will have likely been refinished. It will be the most valuable one of the bunch to collectors.

Probably the best performance of How Soon is Now that I’ve seen. JM playing his yellow JM Jag here makes me want to pick one up in unreasonable hopes that I’ll be able to sound 1% like him in this performance. :D

Probably my favourite of all the colours so far. I can't see it getting released in a production run though, not before comet sparkle anyway

I can absolutely see the yellow getting released before the sparkle.

Agreed - Sparkle does not get done much outside of the FCS.

I am all on board with a GY Marrguarr

I seem to have a loose collet on my Marr. The trem arm won’t stay in place. Anybody know of a fix?

I don't know of a mechanical fix, but Staytrem's collet works very well: https://staytrem.com/jag-jazz-trem1 if you're open to improving it.

Lol it’s already a Staytrem. Staytrem was invented explicitly for the JM Jaguar
