Johnny Marr was co-founder and lead guitarist of The Smiths. He later joined The The and the Pretenders, collaborated with Talking Heads and the Pet Shop Boys, and formed Electronic with Bernard Sumner. In the 2000s he joined Modest Mouse and the Cribs before launching a successful solo career. He later collaborated with composer Hans Zimmer on the soundtracks to the films Inception, The Amazing Spider-Man 2, and No Time to Die.

"There are so many interesting facts and stories (the Stratocaster he bought in 1961 is rumoured to be the first one ever on Irish soil). This is not a simple catalogue of guitars, but rather each one is shown and discussed. The detailed photography is outstanding. Some of the pictures almost make the reader want to reach out and turn the knobs, or feel the wood, or play a string or two. The photos that accompany the text (or the other way around) is what sets this book apart from merely being a discography and listing of guitars. Bitoun tells the stories and Jane provides the equally exquisite photo. This is a brilliant coffee table book, it is informative, well written and beautiful to look at."
