Description

THIS IS ANOTHER CHANCE TO BUY A FANTASTIC PIECE OF ROCK HISTORY. IT'S A GORDON SMITH SG, SERIAL NUMBER 07997 THAT WAS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR MICK ABRAHAMS, ONE OF THE FOUNDER MEMBERS OF JETHRO TULL & BLODWYN PIG. THE GUITAR HAS MICK'S NAME ON THE HEAD STOCK AND IS CURRENTLY SET UP FOR SLIDE / BOTTLENECK PLAYING AND HAS A MODIFIED BRIDGE . THE STRINGS ARE SLIGHTY RAISED AT THE BRIDGE AND NUT TO ALLOW FOR THIS STYLE OF PLAYING BUT CAN EASILY BE RESET TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SOMEONE WHO WISHES TO PLAY ORDINARY CONCERT TUNING STLYE. THERE ARE NATURALLY A FEW COSMETIC MARKS AND GENERAL WEAR AND TEAR CONSISTENT WITH THE AXE HAVING ACCOMPANIED MICK HALFWAY AROUND THE WORLD AND BACK , BUT IT PLAYS AND SOUNDS GREAT. WHEN YOU COMBINE THAT WITH THE HIGHLY INDIVIDUAL TALENT OF THE OWNER IT SOUNDS TRULY AWESOME ! IT HAS BEEN USED ON MANY OF MICK'S RECENT ALBUMS INCLUDING THE "THIS IS" ALBUM WHICH IS A REMAKE OF THE LEGENDARY TULL ALBUM "THIS WAS" AND MORE RECENTLY THE "SEE MY WAY" ALBUM, AN OLD BLODWYN PIG SONG REVISITED ! ANY OF THESE CAN BE HEARD BY VISITING MICK'S WEBSITE. www.squirrelmusic.com AND GOING TO THE SQUIRREL SHOP PAGE. THE GUITAR COMES WITH A HARD SHELL SEMI FLIGHT CASE WHICH IS FAIRLY NEW AND VERY ROBUST.

MICK WILL GIVE A FULL LETTER OF PROVENANCE TO PROVE HIS PERSONAL OWNERSHIP.

SERIOUS BIDDERS ONLY PLEASE AND IF YOU HAVE LESS THAT 10 FEEDBACK PLEASE EMAIL FIRST BEFORE BIDDING TO SHOW THAT YOU ARE GENUINE AS THERE ARE THOSE OUT THERE WHO SEEM TO WANT TO SPOIL THINGS FOR HONEST AND RELIABLE EBAYERS.
