Johnny Marr’s legendary guitars just smashed auction records, fetching over half a million pounds—two iconic instruments from his Smiths days and upcoming solo work.

Meanwhile, the 1960 Cherry Red Gibson ES-355, gifted after a joke and key to “Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now,” sparked creative magic. With over 100 items still up for grabs ahead of his October solo album drop, these guitars aren’t just instruments—they’re vessels of music history, cherished by fans and musicians alike.
