Members csm Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 ... and he's also played Les Pauls and SGs, not to mention the Ric, ES355 and Strat pictured earlier in this thread. (Incidentally, much of the 'chimey jangly Rickenbacker' stuff on Smiths records was done with a Tele.) Anyway, you can't say JM hasn't been round the block a few times, guitar-wise ... so I guess everything on this guitar is pretty much the way he wants it.

Members Faber Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 Never associated him with a Jag - always thought of him as a strat or ric player. Good for him if he can make a few dollars on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dewysoss Posted January 4, 2012 Members Share Posted January 4, 2012 Twenty years ago, Johnny was playing a Strat. And before that, he was on a Rickenbacker . . . . . . or a Gibson 335. Neither of which could have been copied by Fender. Besides, as the bio makes clear, Johnny's still pretty busy these days with Modest Mouse and The Cribs so it's not like he dropped down a black hole after The Smiths fell apart. And as for the Mustang saddles, clearly they work for him so he's not about to change them. Kurt Cobain also swore by Mustang saddles on his Jaguars. he quit modest mouse in 2009 but whatever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
