Thinking about taking the plunge on the Johnny Marr Jag. Hard to kind of try one out as there aren't really any around here. Jags of any sort, really. I'm kind of wanting to know what to expect mostly in terms of sound.
I'm not too worried about the shorter scale length as I have a Les Paul junior that I dig quite a bit. So I'm no stranger to the 24" scale. I have no problem with the 7.25" radius or the vintage frets either.
I guess my main question is what is the sound. Marr makes it sound incredible in those videos. However, I'm not really a Marr-esque player. I wish I was, but I'm not. I'm a rock dude that over time has been playing with less and less distortion. I do the Jeff Buckley sound quite a bit recently. Just looking for chords to sound big and clear. I play in a 90's cover band and I'm not sure how it would fit into the mix with me being the only guitar player.
This just seems like THE guitar to make me think a bit differently and have another sound to the arsenal of guitars I have.
How would you describe a Jaguar's sound?
