John Squire’s Custom Hybrid Jaguar (White)

This is the second of two custom-made Jaguars that John Squire used in the early ’90s with The Stone Roses, the first being an identical model with a sunburst finish. This white guitar was most famously featured in the music video for One Love.

Story

Without repeating the full details from the sunburst version’s page—this guitar was built by luthier Stuart Palmer. It was heavily based on the Fender Jaguar, with minor modifications to the body shape and several changes to the electronics and setup.

The most notable feature was the set of pickups: the Gibson HBL and HBR humbuckers. These pickups were designed by the legendary Bill Lawrence and were used on late-’80s Gibson models like the Flying V and SG for a short period.

Additionally, the guitar was fitted with both a Stratocaster-style tremolo and a non-functional Jaguar tremolo plate. The electronics included extra switches, such as an out-of-phase switch and a coil tap, allowing the humbuckers to function as single coils.

After Stone Roses

The guitar was likely sold after The Stone Roses split. There were reports of a listing for it on the Denmark Street Guitars website, but the page has since been taken down. Unfortunately, the current whereabouts of the guitar remain unknown.
