On pp. 108-09 of his book Marr's Guitars, there are multiple photographs of Johnny Marr's 1966 Gibson Firebird 12-string.

"My Super Reverb has been doing that live with The Cribs and Modest Mouse as well"

"On bridges or different verses or whatever it is. I get into with those GT- 5s and now the modified GT-10. It’s really, really subtle, if you just hear the different reverbs. Even if it’s only me that notices it. I see it as producing with my feet. But if people are going to come see me and my band, I can’t be looking down every 20 seconds."
