Phil Manzanera gear on Reverb

57Deluxe

I'll add this here as is mostly amps and outboards listed but, he is an iconic guitarist in my journey and these prices seem really reasonable...

Phil Manzanera's red Firebird for sale!










... oh.



Marshall 6100 - non-functioning, no surprise there .

The Peavey Rangers are a huge bargain at £375 each even *without* that kind of provenance - the only problem is the weight.

I was hoping for more than this.

It's mostly trash, that's the main thing...




I never thought I would even briefly entertain the idea of wanting a Firewood X, but when I saw that I *almost* did. Then I looked at it again and realised it's still probably the ugliest guitar ever made and full of crap that makes it a liability in the longer term. So no, not even it's Phil's.

It's quite telling that he's selling off what's mostly a lot of also-ran backline gear, and that.
