There's a lefty Affinity Squier Strat would have my name on it if not for postage costs!

Interestingly, lot no.62 is listed as a Rickenbacker 360/12, when it actually a much rarer and more valuable 360/12 WB

Does anyone know who's the "deceased estate" is/was? There is a mention of a Precision Bass being gifted by Cliff Williams of AC/DC to "Geoff" whilst on tour together. Curious, that's all... :-)

Answering my own question... Geoff Banks, guitar tech to AC/DC

I looked at that Precision at the Guitar Show - it was on their stand. Took a photo and it's in the Guitar Show thread.

Man, it looks like it's seen some action - it was pretty knackered..

I noticed that and if I'd have had the funds I might well have bid for it as the 360/12WB is a dream guitar of mine,
