This instrument was built just a few years before Elvis, and Scotty Moore put one on screen in \u003cem\u003eLoving You\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKing Creole\u003c\/em\u003e. Today, Kacey Musgraves reaches for a '57 J-45 — she calls it Janice — over anything built new. Tom Morello named his Black Spartacus.

For decades, Marvin showed up to jam sessions and bluegrass venues with friends, and that same passion shaped his instrument collection. He sought out player-grade instruments — vintage pieces with real, honest wear from a life of actual use — over pristine collector-shelf pieces, assembling a personal collection of guitars, mandolins and banjos meant to be enjoyed rather than admired behind glass. Each piece was a tool of a passionate musician, chosen with the discerning eye of someone who understood exactly what made it special.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eIn stock now at Wood \u0026amp; Wire.
