Has anyone seen any pics of Bob Marley playing the guitar Gibson used as the Marley model? ( Football shaped aluminium surround etc) The reason I ask is that in London (1973 ) I sold him the LP he's most often pictured with , and later added the famous enlarged round cream switch surround. as a temp repair. (The guitar fell off a stand only a week after he'd had it and punched the switch through, he never bothered bringing it back for the top repair it needed, rest is history) Most folks have only ever seen him playing that guitar,and can only wonder why it wasn't used as the "model".
