I played this guitar with Neil Finn in Auckland in 2000, when we formed a band called 7 Worlds Collide with our friends Eddie Vedder, Ed O'Brien, Lisa Germano, Sebastian Steinberg and Philip Selway. I had the f-holes cut out instead of them being painted on, which is how they usually are.
JOHNNY MARR, MARR’S GUITARS, 2023
Johnny Marr purchased this 1964 Gretsch 6120 from New Kings Road Vintage Guitar Emporium in the late 1990s and commissioned luthier Bill Puplett to rout out the f-holes and fit a Ghost Acousti-Phonic Modular Pickup System beneath the bridge, which enabled him to achieve an authentic acoustic tone from the guitar. At the invitation of singer-songwriter Neil Finn, Marr brought the Gretsch 6120 to New Zealand for a series of five shows with a supergroup of musicians billed as Neil Finn & Friends at the St James Theatre in Auckland, New Zealand, from 2 – 6 April 2001. In the band with [Radiohead’s] Ed O’Brien and Phil Selway were my friend Sebastian Steinberg from Soul Coughing, a songwriter and singer who I loved called Lisa Germano, and Neil’s long-time friend Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, recounts Marr in his 2016 autobiography. The shows were sold out and due to start three days later, and Neil let it slip that we would be playing around twenty-eight songs and also filming the gigs. We rehearsed each day for around twelve hours… everybody involved had to be on exactly the same wavelength to make it all work. It was ambitious, but Neil’s so good up front that with the right intention and some luck it promised to be a pretty special event. Marr played the 6120 for the Neil Finn songs ‘Private Universe’, ‘Driving Me Mad’, and ‘Suffer Never’ during both the rehearsals and live shows. A shot of Marr on stage with the 6120 is featured on the cover for the 2001 live album and DVD 7 Worlds Collide - Neil Finn & Friends Live at the St James. Finn said of the project: The idea was to put on a special event here in Auckland, a series of shows, something out of the ordinary in my hometown. I thought it might be possible to bring together an unusual line-up of musicians from different bands. All people I have got to know over the years and whose music I admire. We could rehearse a set, become a band, play a few shows and then break up before anything went wrong… We had to discover what we could become given only a few days and the combined will to make it sound good. Four days later we were on stage at the St James for five concerts which turned out to be one of the most extraordinary events of my life.
