Unique, but Pricey 'Memphis Belle Gibson Guitar' (Signed by Col. R.K. Morgan)

[Technonut2112]

Never came across a guitar so uniquely painted in a wartime aviation theme... Quite pricey, but cool as hell IMO... Signed by Col. Morgan to boot! Rock-On in Heaven Col. Morgan! RIP....

Why on Earth would you do that? With the 'wrongly' positioned swastikas you wouldn't be allowed to use it in Germany!

There's the Schecter Aviation series too, but I would never buy any of these. I think they're quite overdone...

I don’t dislike the Telecasters, although I’d prefer a proper Tele headstock. I think that Memphis Belle Explorer is ‘orrible, Bob Morgan or no.

Though I like the Explorer form, the design screams "Ted Nugent!!!!" right at me....

Col. Morgan's widow (Linda) and I have become friends over the past year and a half or so. Fantastic lady with many accomplishments in aviation to her own credit as well. When we spoke the other day, she recalls Bob signing the guitar for no compensation, and is a bit resentful that the seller is attempting to get so much out of it...

I dunno, That guitar on the extreme left could 'Rock you like a Hurricane'?

Each to his own, I guess... And the Col'. Morgan's wife is rightly resentful of the seller's actions.

Personnaly the Nuge vibes kill it for me right off the bat. PUKE
