It's a bit like pawning the Crown Jewels though isn't it

woah - that's the puppy all right.

Like everyone else:

#1 eyebrows truly raised

#2 I wish I were in a position to have a crack at it.



I might just go for the opening bid so I can say "I once bid on Geordies
guitar" then sit nervously, cupping my genitals & balancing the remote
hope of success against the likelihood of castration & divorce.

Love the obligatory "RIP - PVR" in the description as if a shout
out to Raven gives the auction more legitimacy.

My gut feeling is either the guitar never belonged to Geordie
and is being paired with a "Killing Joke" road case to pad the
believability factor or it is indeed *one* of Geordie's ES295's
but this one has deteriorated to such a state it's no longer
playable to a reliable degree and he's just unloading it. Or it
could be stolen.

I remember finding Brian James old Vox amp (verified through the
amp's serial number) that he used to record the first Lords Of The
New Church album in '82 at a local Guitar Center around 2004 in
their used section. Brian told me through his manager (at the time)
that it had been stolen in LA around '83 but he couldn't afford
to go through the US/UK legal hoops to reclaim it and have it
shipped back to the UK so someone wound up buying it.

T.B.
