Lot Essay

In a recent interview with Neville Marten for Guitarist Lee Dickson recalled that the Gibson ES-350TN in the following lot was "...bought just before we did Keith Richards' 'Hail Hail Rock And Roll' show for Chuck Berry. It was the same time we acquired the 1958 tweed Fender Twin which Eric still uses from time to time...". The amp Dickson refers to here may not be the amp in this lot or in lot 52.
