This just in... a tribute band want Quo fans, yep you heard right, to fund £150,000 for them to use it on stage how cheeky can they be? the guitar just needs to be retired now... it's obviously beyond fixable at this point and the thing just needs to be laid to rest in a rock & roll museum or a Hard Rock Cafe somewhere. It's seen thousands of shows over the years, it's took a fair beating from Rossi, the weather, and whatever else... It's seen the original frantic four line-up in their heyday and the reunion tours, it's been played in front of royalty god knows how many times, it was there for Live Aid and was present for the world record event.

Harsh or not, a bit of a dozey move on Rossi's part.

I hope he gives every penny to charity. If he was intending to do that then the whole exercise would be used to generate a lot more publicity.

The old green Tele is on display at Bonhams auction house and is apparently due to be auctioned in December. I'm just off to rob a bank... Which Bonham's is this on display at? I'm in London for the weekend for the Hyde Park gig and wouldn't mind a look Went to Bonham's in Bond Street but no sign of it there. Moving on from London shortly so won't get the chance to try other locations unfortunately.

i think it would be great if both the black and white and green telecasters ended up in a museum together.

Does anybody here have a link to the guitar sale? I went to Bonhams website and searched but couldn't find it there?

What a f*cking idiot if he's genuinely flogging that. Should be in a museum. Some tit will get a hold of that and not look after it at all, and it won't ever be seen again
I don't know about "not look after it", but... drill a hole in it, paint it up with garden furniture paint, forget to finish the back, and change all the fittings? I rather liked the result, but I am not sure how a Fender purist would regard it IF there was a proper museum of rock in London (there isn't) then it would make a great display of "things rock stars do to their iconic guitars when their luthier isn't looking"!
On a hard nose front, this is now probably the best time left in his career to sell on his best known guitar. He should probably have sold it in 2014 when he retired it because it was coming apart (IIRR).
Trying to play it live again now would probably finish it off.

I went and had a look and it looks like they aren't even listing sales throughout December yet, and it says the catalogues (on line) are normally available a month in advance.
