After four years in design, Fender has revealed its long-awaited Johnny Mar signature guitar.

The Johnny Marr signature Jaguar is a non-standard version of the model which has been developed by Marr and his guitar techs on the road with Modest Mouse and The Cribs over a four-year period, and has resulted in a guitar with a number of personalised modifications.

Two versions of the guitar are available, in Olympic White and Metallic KO, will retail at just under £2,000 each.

"Making this signature Jaguar has been a four year journey,” said Marr. “I've taken all the aspects of the guitar in every direction I could, to improve it without losing the classic features that I liked from the original design. It's been a labour of love and obsession, and a privilege. I've used it for everything I've done since I started making it. It's my perfect guitar."
 
Both versions of the guitar, available in Olympic White and Metallic KO will retail at £1,942.80.
