 Just what Marr needed, he thought, to compliment his own approach 
to strumming his Rickenbacker (once owned by Roger McGuinn) ....

A Hard Day’s Misery

... a young Byrds fan [Marr] with a jangling Rickenbacker and
Roger McGuinn’s mop top - later his [McGuinn’s] guitar, too!

Marr’s Guitars Of The Stars

“My other favorite guitars are ... three Rickenbackers -- my
first 330, an amazing ’66 wood-grain 330, and a 12-string
that used to belong to Pete Townshend.”

Memorable Marrscapes

“I wrote 'The Headmaster Ritual' (Meat is Murder) .... and
the main riff is two tracks of Rickenbacker....The Ricken-
backer belonged to Phil Manzanera of Roxy Music; I’m
told that it was originally owned by Roger McGuinn.”

-- Johnny Marr
Guitar Player • January 1990
“My 330 is my old faithful, and I’ve got a
360 as well, the Roger McGuinn one.”

Marr’s Guitars

These days Marr’s Rickenbackers rarely see the light of day, but
for the record he has two: a black ’82 330 6-string (seen in the
video for This Charming Man) and a mid-60s sunburst 360-12,
his main Smiths recording Rickie, bought off Pete Townshend.
