Footnotes

Provenance:
This was purchased by Gary in Tokyo whilst on tour in Japan, April 2010 and subsequently used for shows in Japan and a show in South Korea. It was then used in the 'Summer of Rock' shows, when Gary revisited his rock tracks from the 1980s, with concerts in Europe, then touring in Ukraine and Russia in October 2010.

This guitar was clearly significant to Gary as he used this as his hotel room guitar, as well as using it for the main part of the live set. This shows the guitar's versatility, as the guitar served as a personal companion during quiet moments, as well as serving as a guitar for live performances.

Live Performances:
- It can be seen in the first half of the show on the Blu-ray/DVD Live At Montreux 2010 (Eagle Vision ERBRD5078) and in this youtube link:
