Every serious guitar player, or guitar builder, should have a Guitar Bucket List. Those guitars, whether owned by an iconic artist, or made by a renowned luthier; that you would love to 'meet', hold or have the privilege to play. Ben has recently had such a privilege - meeting the Dave Grohl and Pat Smear Monkey Wrench 1990 Gretsch White Falcon Guitar at the Gardiner Houlgate Specialist Auctioneers.
Welcome to Crimson Guitars https://www.youtube.com/user/CrimsonCustomGuitars?sub_confirmation=1
This guitar was Pat Smear's personal 1990 Gretsch White Falcon hollow body electric guitar, made in Japan. It was used by Dave Grohl in the video for the bands 1997 single 'Monkey Wrench’ and used by Pat Smear on 'The Colour and The Shape' album recordings. The guitar also used live on various Foo Fighters tours; the body in Classic White Falcon finish with orange sparkle binding, ebony fretboard, modified Cadillac tailpiece, modified switching, and the body with pillow filling interior. (Funny story :D)
