Johnny Marr Gets Own Guitar

added 04 January 2012 at 12.08

The Smiths axe-man is getting his own signature Fender...

Other musicians to get similar treatment include Billy Corgan, Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck.

Johnny Marr reckons he was attracted to his signature Jaguar® guitar, "by the way it sounded - this big, clear, ringing sound. My first proper experience playing one was with Modest Mouse in 2005. I had this riff kicking around that ended up becoming the song ‘Dashboard’, and it went from there really."
