Johnny marr sig jag

Post by dezb1 »

I was reading Total guitar magazine in t’town today which has a interview with the great man, and apparently Fender are doing him a sig jag: spec- white /white, 4 way tele control switch (bridge/ both/ neck/ series) instead of the silly on off pickup switches, moving the high pass filter thingy to the top control plate.
Sounds good to me, as I’ve always thought there were too many switches for my tiny mind to handle. but no doubt it’ll cost stupid money...

I've always thought his Jag was the shiz, but this will cost stupid amounts of money. Cheaper to buy a Japanese/Mexican and do the mods yourself I would think.

the best news out of this is that fender will more than likely now offer a tele switch that will fit in the jag spot. so no more searching for aftermarket mods. fingers crossed.

Is there any pictures in the mag? I wanted to buy the mag, but it would only be for this one article.

Before they announced the new johnny marr sig jag, i decided to make one just like it. I will probably still follow this through.

Is it very likely Fender will offer the parts? I have been looking everywhere for someone to make me the switch plate to no avail. I didnt realise the hi pass filter switch was moved to the top either.

There was a good article on Johnnys jag in guitarist mag earlier this year. Thats what made me like his mods and decided i would do the same.

aye. none here either. i couldn't tell you one thing he's done, but it's probably some über-wank shit like the smiths, or modest mouse.

If the high pass filter switch gets moved to the top plate, there are 2 switches now on top?

No, i wated a cribs live video and it sounded really mushy and average......i do appreciate some of the stuff he wrote while in the smiths, but dont think he has really added much to the recent bands hes been a part of

and the Florida riff.

HE made Modest Mouse more power-pop-y.... This is either good or bad...

I like both parts of their careers (then and now) but they are two different bands.

Marr rocks the shit in the smiths.
