TITLE:

ONE OF A KIND – Multi-Signed Gibson Epiphone Special II – Metallica/Slash/Lemmy/Scott Weiland – Grammy Foundation LOA – IRREPRODUCIBLE

A Gibson Epiphone Special II electric guitar in cherry sunburst, covered in original signatures personally collected at the 2nd Annual MusiCares MAP Fund Benefit Concert, May 12, 2006, at the Henry Fonda Theater, Hollywood, California.

This guitar was auctioned on eBay in May 2006 as part of the MusiCares MAP Awards to benefit Grammy Charities. It comes with an official Letter of Authenticity issued directly by The Grammy Foundation and MusiCares Foundation, signed by Kristen Madsen, Senior Vice President — the gold standard of music memorabilia authentication.

Signatories:

•Metallica — James Hetfield, Lars Ulrich, Kirk Hammett & Robert Trujillo (full band)

•Velvet Revolver — Slash, Scott Weiland †, Duff McKagan, Matt Sorum & Dave Kushner (full band)

•Lemmy Kilmister † — Motörhead

•Anthony Kiedis — Red Hot Chili Peppers

•Alice in Chains — Jerry Cantrell & Sean Kinney

•Black Rebel Motorcycle Club — Nick Jago, Robert Turner & Peter Hayes

• Jason Mraz, Jim Breuer, Margaret Cho, Greg Behrendt, Bill Silva

† Scott Weiland passed away December 3, 2015. Lemmy Kilmister passed away December 28, 2015.

Scott Weiland and Lemmy Kilmister are gone. No amount of money, no auction house, no event organiser can ever assemble these signatures together on a single instrument again. The moment this guitar was signed in May 2006, the window closed forever.

You are not buying a signed guitar. You are buying a moment in rock history that is permanently sealed in time.

Provenance — beyond dispute:

The Grammy Foundation and MusiCares Foundation Letter of Authenticity is among the most credible documents in music memorabilia. This is not a third-party COA from an unknown authenticator. This is signed by the Senior Vice President of two of the most respected institutions in the music industry, certifying the exact signatures, the exact event, and the exact item. There is no stronger paper trail in this hobby.

Market context:

This guitar carries full Metallica, full Velvet Revolver including Slash and the late Scott Weiland, Lemmy, Anthony Kiedis, Alice in Chains — and Grammy Foundation documentation that removes all doubt.
