Steve Clark Edition?

Hi All, I picked this up a few weeks ago, I thought you lot would love a bit of guitar porn.

 

This is is one of Steve Clark's (Def Leppard) 1987 ESD-1275 double neck guitars that was given to him by Gibson in 1988. Extremely rare from this period, especially in it's factory white finish. This is one of two known white double necks that Steve owned. Steve later gave it to his friend Stevie Roberts, a fellow Yorkshireman who played with punk rock band UK Subs. The guitar has had the 12 string bridge pickup changed to a Seymour Duncan model and the tuners have been replaced with mini Schallers. No breaks or repairs. The original case is intact and still has the roadie's identification tape on the side reading 'SC, Gibbo D Neck White Def Leppard' with the corresponding serial number.

 

Here are some photos

Thanks for sharing - much appreciated!

 

It's great when someone winds up with a 'historical' piece that was actually used, viewed, and heard by thousands upon thousands.

 

Hope the vibe it's throwing off at you is floatin' yer boat higher than the Panama Canal!
