Provenance:
This was delivered to Gary in time for use on the 2010 'rock' tour and was played for the encore song, Parisienne Walkways. It can be seen on the DVD/Blu-ray Live At Montreux 2010 (Eagle Vision ERBRD5078).

The original Gibson pickups were replaced with a set of Bare Knuckles PG Blues as Gary preferred them to the 'out of phase' Gibsons. He thought they were a little closer to the sound of the ex-Peter Green '59 Les Paul Standard ('Greeny') that Gary had once owned.

This prototype was the last guitar Gary would play live in front of an audience, in the Kremlin Palace, Moscow, 30th October 2010.
