Johnny Marr, former guitarist of the British band The Smiths, announced that he will auction around 80 guitars and other musical equipment that were used throughout his career. The musician made available a total of approximately 95 lots for sale, which include instruments and accessories that were part of his professional life.

The values of the items for sale vary significantly. While some lots have an appraisal of around 600 euros, others can reach much higher values, reaching 180,000 euros. This difference reflects the diversity of the collection, which includes everything from more accessible instruments to potentially very valuable collector's pieces.

The auction represents an opportunity for fans and collectors to acquire iconic pieces of music history, given that Johnny Marr is considered one of the most influential guitarists in rock music, particularly for his work with The Smiths during the 1980s.
