Estimate

£300 - £500

Withdrawn from sale - Following the extremely sad news of Bernie Marsden’s passing last week, it has been decided that the sale of the Bernie Marsden Collection will be postponed until further notice. Bernie was one of the most loved figures in the guitar community and following discussions with the family we have decided there should be an appropriate period before any event takes place as a mark of respect. We will make a further announcement regarding a future sale date following this period of mourning.

* Used by Bernie Marsden to record 90% of his 'Stacks' album. Bernie took a 'Very serious army of guitars' into the studio, but found himself playing this guitar that he purchased for £125 from a shop in Bicester High Street many years ago. Bernie named the guitar 'Spurz' because Jimmy Copley played drums on the sessions and was a big Spurs fan. Featured on page 157 of Bernie's Book 'Tales of Tone and Volume'
