Is a Budget DIY Johnny Marr Jaguar Worth Building?

It’s no secret that Fender’s Johnny Marr Signature Jaguar is one of the best modern production Jags of the past 10+ years. But every year it gets more expensive than the last, making it unattainable for many guitarists GASsing for one. In today’s episode, we unpack what it takes to build one yourself, how much it costs and how it compares to the real thing.

Looks and sounds great! Seriously, that seems actually more appealing to get a custom over a stock guitar! I would totally think its worth it, especially coming from an OG offset tech like yourself! Great job and keep it up!

@CaptKitteh says:

Awesome video and excited to learn more about offsets

This video makes the whole YouTube enterprise worthwhile.

Great clarity of ideas, good illustrations. Very encouraging to Jaguar hopefuls like myself. 

Thanks for sharing your knowledge and expertise, and for fuelling the passion for Fender offsets.
