Johnny Marr's guitars on display at Christie's New York City

Johnny Marr is selling some of his guitars through Christies. Part of the collection is on display at Christie's New York City this week. They will also be on display at Christie's London in September before the auction.

These photos I took include (info below from Christie's website):

1982 Rickenbacker 330 synonymous with Marr and The Smiths’ early sound.

1960 Gibson ES‑355 used to write ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’.

Roger Giffin Custom ‘Tele’ famously played on Top of the Pops in May 1984.

1971 Martin D‑28, Marr’s principal six‑string acoustic during The Smiths’ heyday.

1984 Gibson Les Paul Standard, which Marr cites as being used on more recordings than any other guitar in his collection.
