“Dear UPS, where are my guitars?”: Johnny Marr slams UPS over “lost” guitars ahead of tour
Johnny Marr versus Morrissey is one thing, but Johnny Marr versus UPS? That’s a whole different headache.
Days before kicking off a short run of East Coast shows, the Smiths guitarist claims that UPS has misplaced several of his touring guitars – including at least one Fender and one Gibson.

Marr aired his frustrations on X, saying his gear vanished more than a week ago. “Dear UPS where are my guitars? They disappeared a week ago. I’m hearing from you now that they’ve been lost. Explain,” he writes.
Though what really set him off was the courier’s request for a description of the instruments.
“Asking me to describe what my guitars look like is not filling me with confidence,” Marr quips. “They look exactly like the ones you put in one of your delivery vans days ago. Remember?”
And just in case anyone at UPS needed more detail, Marr helpfully adds: “Look for one that says ‘80’s Icon’ on the case and another one that says ‘Woke As Fuck’”
The guitarist – whose devotion to six-strings even earned its own photo book, Marr’s Guitars (2023) – didn’t hold back on hashtags either, tagging Fender and Gibson along with a blunt #fuckUPSinc and #freemyguitars.
UPS is reportedly investigating the case, though as of writing there’s no sign of Marr’s missing gear. With his tour dates looming, here’s hoping those cases turn up sooner rather than later.
Check out his tweets below.
