Original Listing Description

VERY RARE OPPORTUNITY!!! Up for grabs is a DUAL signed Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) 2016 D’Angelico Guitars Deluxe Bob Weir Model SS Electric Guitar (discontinued, very limited release). The EXTREMELY limited DELUXE Collector’s Edition, handled and HAND-SIGNED by Bobby himself, was LIMITED TO ONLY 35 MODELS WORLDWIDE!! HOWEVER - this particular model is somehow even cooler, and a sure-fire one of a kind. Bobby signed this one TWICE. The D’Angelico Deluxe Collector’s Edition signature appears on the back of the headstock in beautiful gold marker (on each of the editions of 35), but on this model, Bobby also added a nice, big signature to the front of the body in silver sharpie (looks awesome with the color of the guitar). This is a true ONE OF A KIND in an already impossibly exclusive edition honoring one of the greatest rhythm guitarists of all time. The guitar comes with a full JSA Letter of Authenticity for Bobby’s second signature, as well as the original D’Angelico hard case. ————————————— ADDITIONAL DETAILS ON GUITAR as a Limited Edition run of only 35 guitars co-designed and hand-signed by guitar legend Bob Weir, the Bob Weir Deluxe SS is an innovative masterwork.
