It ended up at Maverick Music Phil, and was up for sale for a cool $1million for quite a while.

Joe Bonamassa played it at the Albert Hall not long ago, and I heard that Phil Harris took it there for him.  I don't know why he had it, or who currently owns it, but it may be that Phil bought it?

Jon may be sworn to secrecy  ;)

Stupid question: who is Phil Harris?  :?

He also has a regular column in Guitar & Bass magazine. 

Apologies if he's a friend Jon, but I have to say it - I've always thought he comes across as a bit of an arse and a vintage gear snob.  But maybe it's just the way way he writes.

Thanks for filling me in!!

It's a strange fact that the biggest vintage gear snobs have something to gain financially from vintage gear.

I'd really be interested in your impression of the old LP Jon.  Shame you couldn't have sneaked in some comparisons of the Lion vs the LP.  How's old #7 coming along?
So many pickups, so little time

yes - it was a concession I made for Phil as he came forward and put his money down, and we had been discussing a guitar  build for such a long time.
The series being made is a "bakers dozen" -12 righties and a leftie.
As I am taking one for my own collection that leaves 12 to be owned by the playing public.
3 of these are spoken for -numbers 1, 7, 8 (9 is mine)

I think that bridge really sets it off! I love to play tune-o-matics, but the looks of a wraparound is just so pretty. You get to show off more of that pretty body!  8)

I'd die happy if I'd ever get the chance to play Gary Moores LP... Jon you're a lucky fella.
And the Lions are looking stunning!
