Johnny Marr Sig Jaguar

[saturday]

Yeah, it is a different kind of beast. Glad you like it, it gets better the more you get in tune with it...

in other news.... get a new guitar teacher. That guy reeks of Gibson "tone woods" and cork sniffing.....

It needs a set up for sure - the G is impossible to tune with both the D and B. Typical of most every guitar I've had before a set up.

The guy is a great guy. He'd never buy a PRS and loves mine. He is impressed with my Taylor Big Baby.
He is sixty years old, fit as a fiddle and can play and explain anything clearly and succinctly.
And yes, his favorite guitar is a Gibson ES-335
He has an opinion and wants me to have my own. It is all good. Honestly, he is a good man guys.

Are you saying Jazzmasters are better?!?!? Huh,? Why don't you take your post and attitude and get out of this thread!!!!

Jaguars are the offset handshake drug.

Aw man - I just can't.

The Jag and Plimsoul sound like the Plimsoul did at GC. Through a fender twin reissue. I use a 72 Musicmaster Bass amp with a EVM12 speaker. None of my other guitars do. I bought because of how it sounded then. I don't care what anyone says even my band mates who know nothing about guitars heard a crispness and clarity none of my other guitars produce.

Actually - A Jazzmaster was my offset gateway drug....

Aw man - I just can't.

There's definitely a Jazzmaster in your future

Enjoy the Jaguar.

Thanks! I am! I was almost going to cancel my order but I am glad I didn't.

It will be awhile before I can afford another guitar.

And I agree about people being here being great. I was helped a ways back when I was looking into a replacement speaker.

I can understand how some folks would see a newbie coming in with tough question about a Jag as a possible troll. It _is_ the internet.

Why does the truss rod adjustment have to be at the neck?

Does anyone know of a bridge that allows for individual raising and lowering of the strings? The Mastery does it in groups of three.

HERE just swap the saddles onto the Marr bridge.

EDIT: The truss rod thing i agree with, it just makes it a more complex task to adjust it. If only more people were accepting of the 70's style bullet truss rod at the headstock

UPDATE:

Just got my JM Jaguar back from the shop. It did, indeed, have the wrong tremolo arm sleeve. Fender told the shop that some of the JM Jags got out the door with the wrong part. The shop sent Fender the incorrect part, and Fender sent back the correct part.

Now it has the correct tremolo arm sleeve, the arm pops in there just as it should and stays where ever you leave it. Just as advertised. Had it set up while it was there as well.

Very happy to have it back!

Man, between this and the QC on that first batch of VM Squire Jags and JMs and Mustangs, I really wonder WTF fender even does at those factories. must be margarita monday every day.

Played one of these for the first time yesterday.
Liked the blade switch and the sounds.

The neck was beefier than the necks on my other guitars (CP Jag &Musicmaster II) , and I'm not sure i would get on with it well. Neck profiles are a very individual matter, and reasonable people may differ. But the thing I would like to point out is that this neck profile is a little different. For better or, maybe in my case, for worse.

Yep - Thats one of teh main reasons why I like it. Feels better than a standard AVRI necks that I have played, but definitely not for everyone.

The Marr neck has me really curious and interested in the new '65 re-issues. If they are profiled like a marr neck - based off of a 65 - then I'll be really interested.

my memory's foggy- is the marr neck based off a 65 jag or a 65 strat? i seem to remember it being based of a 65 strat.

As far as I can remember it was a Jag neck but he copied the contours from a Strat and Jag (which was owned by someone on here no?)
