Originally owned by the award-winning singer, songwriter, and saxophonist Curtis Stigers, who bought if off the streets of NYC one night and gave it to songwriter/photographer Chris Marksbury. Over the years, Chris had it signed by Leslie West and Corky Laing of Mountain, Les Paul, Joe Bonamassa, Rick Derringer, Nils Lofgren and Paul Kantner. The back of the neck is signed by former Beatle Pete Best and the back of the head stock by Derek Trucks. Bill Kirchen and Lou Pallo signed the back of the body and it is also signed by producers, engineers and many more integral figures in the musical journey including Dave Mason, Kim Wilson, Al Pitrelli, Mark Rizzo, Joe Lynn Turner, Earl Slick and more!
Curtis Stigers signed "treat her like a lady" on the side before moving back to Boise, Idaho. Jules Shear, Eliot Sharp, Pal Shazar, many other artists signed this all in front of Chris while on photo assignments, recording sessions and more. The price sticker is still on back of head stock from a used guitar store in NYC from many years ago.
This guitar comes with a gig bag and some strings to get it ready to put on display as a truly collectible piece. Non-original tuners, bridge, hardware, neck mount; pickup is weak but all functional.
Donated by songwriter/photographer Chris Marksbury
