So will it go for more because he owned it, or less..?

What's a realistic price for a vintage '61 without the Star Factor?

Skipped · January 2014

It's not vintage.
Realistic price.....£1600 less 100 for the missing case. + 200 for the sixties case. So £1700.
Same guitar if owned by Johnny Marr: £1700.

It does look lovely though.

spark240 · January 2014

Looks like his 12 string is on there as well..

TTony · January 2014

Perhaps he's decided to pack in the "music" stuff, sell all his kit and become an estate agent?

There's a hope ...

jd0272 · January 2014

Tsk, that'll teach me to not read ad's properly, pesky Reissue.

chrisj1602 · January 2014

It's sold now.

lustycourtier · January 2014

Its sold. He wanted 3k for it, and will have got it.

streethawk · January 2014

If I had the money, and a Smiths era guitar came up I'd be duty bound to pay top dollar.

This one....

streethawk · January 2014

This one, 2nd try.

chrisj1602 · January 2014

I got my hands on a vintage Gibson 355 at Richard Henry's studio. I hoped it was Johnny Marr's but it wasn't. Amazing guitar though. RH showed me a load of pictures he'd taken on Johnny Marr's US tour.

thermionic · January 2014

I've played one of Johnny's old guitars, a mapleglo Rickenbacker (I think it was a 335 i.e. a 330 with tremolo arm). Given to a well-known music journalist and author, and signed on the back with a marker pen.

Thanks for sharing. Wonderful.

Deadman · January 2014

Indeed, it'd be far too flash for me though. I'd be happy with a JM Jag as opposed to one of his actual guitars.

lustycourtier · January 2014

As soon as it was listed I was after it and after finding out BIN price I was still after it! I made an offer but unfortunately it went quicker than I could sort. Its a beautiful guitar. Johnny never sells guitars. Seems he's funding something...

Maybe he's selling some gear so he can buy ToneWorld

Let's hope so. Someone like him would be a great owner. Don't know whether you were at the opening, but JM did say that the people there were the best in the business. You never know....

badlydrawnbanjo · January 2014

I wasn't at the opening but have been and bought a few bits from there. I was about to have them do a set up on my Les Paul but I'm not going to leave it with them in their current situation.

The person who did the set-ups has been made redundant, so any work like that would probably be subbed out at the moment. Regrettably, I agree with you. Much as I like the place and the people involved, I wouldn't want to leave any of my guitars there at present.

badlydrawnbanjo · January 2014

Ah, the fella with the long hair? He was the reason I was going to take it there as opposed to Steve in PMT. He certainly knew his onions on the mechanical side. I think he said that he used to be an engineer.

miserneil · January 2014

What's happening with ToneWorld then??

Rick Lowe. A great guy. He used to work at Dr Rock in Bury, Spectre Sound (Bingley?) and for many years at Sounds Great, before going with Gary Sharpe to Tone World.

In administration unfortunately. There's a thread on it in off topic.

Nobody's insinuating Johnny's buying it. Unless Richard knows something I don't!

Oh dear...but not a total surprise to be honest. Shame, they are nice guys.

That's a shame, never even went in to stare at the guitars I couldn't afford.

EdGrip · January 2014

I met Johnny Marr once, back when I didn't know who he was. He was a nice man, and I like his guitarings.

EdGrip · January 2014

How much was the BIN? If I'd been working in Manchester I might even have gone for it...

Looks like that went too.

An interesting guitar, and probably a good investment given the provenance. Relatively speaking, of course.

Categorically I do not! I only know the Toneworld guys as a customer.

Still, it's a nice idea, isn't it, even though we just made it up?

ToneWorld - is that like DollyWood?

Howdy, Stranger!
