Buying one his guitars at a Christie's auction n London won't turn the buyer into Johnny Marr, but it will be something to brag about for sure. From The Guardian:
Johnny Marr is preparing to auction off about 80 of his guitars, including the Rickenbacker heard on This Charming Man.
Marr has partnered with Christie’s for the auction, which will take place on 17 September in London, with the collection – including amps and other equipment – available for the public to view in London and New York prior to the sale.
The star lots include a 1982 Rickenbacker 330 Jetglo, whose top estimate price of £80,000 reflects its indie music pedigree: as well as This Charming Man, it can be heard on What Difference Does It Make?, Still Ill, and Accept Yourself, and was also lent out to Noel Gallagher: it appears on the cover of Oasis’s debut single Supersonic. (It wasn’t used for the distinctive opening riff of This Charming Man, though, which was played on a 1950s Telecaster.)
His new album The Age Of Everything is available for preorder here (vinyl, CD, digital). Release date: October 2.
