Lot Essay

This is one of those guitars that when I first picked it up I knew it was a proper instrument. I always kept it around the house and never packed it away in a case anywhere. It’s been around the family every day for years.
JOHNNY MARR, 2026

Johnny Marr purchased this guitar from New Kings Road Vintage Guitar Emporium in 1992 and kept it for everyday home use.
