Johnny Marr’s 1963 Epiphone Casino

There’s a great pic of Johnny Marr’s 1963 Epiphone Casino here. In the text underneath, Marr notes that he played part of How Soon is Now on the Casino (with Bigsby tremolo fitted) and that he wrote Nowhere Fast on it. Marr also played the Casino at Glastonbury in 1984 and was pictured with it on the inside sleeve of Hatful of Hollow.

Update: Marr also has an Epiphone Coronet in his collection which you can see here.
