Johnny Marr joined Modest Mouse.

On this tour he plays a black 370 RM for just one song (thorugh a Fender Reverb amp).

Very cool. I'll have to catch them the next time they're through the DC area.
I seem to recall seeing photos of him with that guitar when he was on the road with the Healers. Love that 12-string slice-through-the-mix on "Bangin' On".

saw him with the Healers, too. in 2003. and, yes, he did have the same guitar with him there, too

Here's some shots I pulled off the web of Johnny Marr playing at the Manchester V. Cancer concert last year...

Wish I could have been there!!

He is so good with Ricks. As well as "other" guitars! He inspired me to get my 330/12 back in '89

I love Johnny. He's pretty much the reason I ever wanted to pick up a guitar in the first place. I still remember that first time I saw the video to This Charming Man - I was hooked on Rickenbackers and The Smiths for ever!

Some of his recent stuff with MM is pretty great actually.
