GUNS N' ROSES - SLASH's Long-Lost Guitar Going To Auction
October 10, 2016, 8 years ago
The long-lost B.C. Rich Warlock guitar with which Slash wrote many of Guns N’ Roses’ earliest hits - including “Welcome To The Jungle” and “Sweet Child O’ Mine” - has been discovered and placed up for auction, reports Christopher Scapelliti of Guitar World.
The guitar has been verified by Slash and his original guitar tech, Jason Solon, as the Warlock that Slash ordered from B.C. Rich in early 1984. He played the instrument at 18 early GN’R performances around Hollywood, using it more than any other guitar he owned at the time.
The guitar is listed with Julien’s Auctions and is included in their Icons & Idols: Rock n’ Roll 2016 auction, which takes place November 4th.
The Warlock, which Slash has autographed, comes with a signed letter of authenticity from Slash and Solon, as well as the original Anvil hardcase and a timeline of performances where it was played.
Bidding starts at $30,000. The guitar is expected to sell for $60,000 to $80,000.
