On his official website, Johnny Marr says, "1964 Fender Jazzmaster that I used for the Modest Mouse LP “We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank” and The Cribs “Ignore The Ignorant” LP. This guitar played the main riff on “We Share The Same Skies”

"1968 Gibson 345 Stereo converted to Mono. Used for a lot of Electronic’s 2nd and 3rd LP and Boomslang by The Healers," says Johnny Marr, on this page of his official website.

Johnny Marr says, "The 1963 Gibson SG that was my main guitar until it was stolen from the Healers show at the Scala, London in 2000. Amazingly this guitar was retrieved from the person who stole it in 2010," about his Gibson SG on this page of his official website.

It is unsure whether is this a 1963 or 1964 Gibson SG, because this Gibson article lists this story under fact number 33. "A theme is developing here. Ex-Smith Johnny Marr had his favorite red Gibson SG Standard (a ’64) stolen in 2000. The thief eventually confessed to police, returned it, and was sentenced to 200 hours community service. Watch a rarity: Johnny Marr singing and playing his ’64 SG on The Late Show with David Letterman". Apparently, this is the video Gibson talks about. He can be seen playing that guitar at 1:33 minute mark for song "The Last Ride" with The Healers.

On this page of Johnny Marr's website, one can see his 1960 Les Paul Custom, of which he says, "My 1960 Les Paul Custom that I used on the Boomslang album."

Johnny Marr has a 1980 Gibson Flying V listed among his guitars, on his website.

Johnny Marr's website lists a Gibson SG, described as a "1962 Gibson SG with no Vibrato bar."

As said on Johnny's website:

"This is the 1963 Black Jaguar that I got from Isaac Brock when I joined Modest Mouse. Isaac didn’t like it but I loved it and I fixed it up and got it going. I wrote “Dashboard” on it and used it on the tour. Me and Jeremiah Green went out to Walmart in Oxford Mississippi at three am on a break whilst recording the Modest Mouse album and bought a load of stickers."

Johnny Marr lists a 1959 Gibson Les Paul on his website, and says, "My 1959 Gibson Les Paul. I used this guitar on a lot of Mindbomb and Dusk by The The; “Good Morning Beautiful”, “Sodium Light Baby”, “The Violence Of Truth”. I used it at Wembley Stadium on Mandela Day too."

Johnny Marr talks about his 1962 Epiphone Coronet on this page of his website. He says, "This is a 1962 Epiphone Coronet. Shortly after I got it I put it in “Nashville Tuning”, which means putting on an electric 12 string set (the bottom four strings are an octave higher than standard). It feels like your playing backwards because the higher strings are at the bottom. I used it to double a lot of the Rickenbacker arpeggios on Smiths records, most notably on “William It Was Really Nothing”, it’s also the main guitar on “Half A Person”."

Johnny Marr posts this one of a kind SG on his official site saying "This Blonde Gibson SG was made for me and is a one of a kind."

"The Gretsch 6120 that I used to write and record "Stretch Out And Wait". You can hear it on "Is It Really So Strange?" too. I got it from The Who and It's one of the best old 1960's Gretsch's that I've played. I got introduced to a guy called Alan Rogan who used to work for Townshend, Clapton and Keith Richards. I ended up getting a load of guitars off him. That's where the Gretsch 6120 came in. It's the one Townshend played on loads of Who stuff. I don't know why he sold it to a geek like me."

Johnny used this 6120 on 5 out of 6 documented dates of the Smith's final 1986 tour, for Meat Is Murder only. It was tuned to Open G, the same tuning used on "Stretch Out And Wait" and "The Headmaster Ritual".
