Marr acquired this guitar sometime in the early ’90s, shortly after he met Noel Gallagher. They were sitting together, having drinks and talking about guitars, when Noel mentioned a store in Doncaster called Music Ground, which Marr had never heard of. So, they decided to go and visit.
A few days later, Marr picked up Noel, and along with Owen Morris (Marr’s guitar engineer at the time, who later worked with Oasis), they drove out to Doncaster, where Marr bought this 9-pickup Stratocaster
I’m a firm believer in K.I.S.S. This blows that into the next county. About my limit is my Strat with the std 5 way switch and push button to bring the bridge into play with the 5-way in the 4th and 5th position. Don’t want or need more choices.
