Marr’s Guitars

Insight

I had the idea of building a website about Noel’s guitars since 2017 (at least!), but what triggered me to finally create it was the announcement of this book in April 2023.

Marr’s Guitars: a stunning photographic presentation of the guitars that defined the distinctive sounds and style of Johnny Marr with personal reflections and insights from the legendary guitarist himself.

I’ve managed to preorder the Artist’s Edition, limited to 500 units, signed by Johnny and with exclusive prints signed by Johnny and photographer Pat Graham. I finally received it during the last week and it left me speechless.

The book is simply tremendous.
The pictures are the best ever seen in any guitar book, period. And Johnny’s meticulous insight about each instrument and its usage is incredible. Go and get it if you’re into guitars.



The book also includes detailed shots and info about three guitars that are now in Noel’s vault: the famous Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard (there isn’t a page about it yet, but there will be soon!), the black Les Paul Custom and the Sunburst Stratocaster used for the Don’t Look Back in Anger solo.
Their pages have been updated with new info sourced from the book.
