I played that guitar before Busey bought it from Sotheby’s for $230,000 while I curated the Hard Rock Cafe collection. When I played Not Fade Away on it everyone nearby got goosebumps. It gave me the chills! I’ve played a lot of famous guitars and this one had more mojo than all the others put together.
