The Bernie Marsden Collection
Tuesday 11th June 2024 at 10am
Bernie Marsden (7th May 1951 – 24th August 2023) - a man who needs little introduction, renowned as one of the greatest rock and blues guitarists of all time. From Buckingham, England, Bernie was a professional musician, his career beginning in 1972. Primarily known for his work with Whitesnake, he wrote or co-wrote many of the group's major hit songs, such as 'Fool for Your Loving', 'Walking in the Shadow of the Blues', 'She's a Woman', 'Lovehunter', 'Trouble', 'Child of Babylon', 'Rough and Ready' and most notably the multi-million selling USA number one 'Here I go Again'.
Other notable work includes being a member and writing contributor with UFO, Cozy Powell’s Hammer, Wild Turkey, Babe Ruth, Paice Ashton Lord, Alaska, as well as having a successful solo career, releasing over 20 LP recordings since 1979. Bernie was one of the most loved and respected guitarists of his generation, and one of the greatest rock and roll story tellers of all time, cementing himself as a true legend within the guitar community and beyond.
On behalf of Bernie’s family, we are delighted to offer the following 248 lots of guitars, amps, effects, and ephemera from Bernie's personal collection. Most of the instruments have been used by Bernie live or in the studio, including a selection from his Whitesnake era. Many examples appear in his guitar collection book ‘Tales of Tone & Volume’

I was in a shop in Oxford a few years ago and I saw this hanging on the wall. It's a Mexican (sic) Strat from the 1980s, I think - I played it and enquired about it. When the assistant told me that it belonged to the legendary Ten Years After keyboard player, I just had to have it!, Black with maple neck, it plays great, and I always wonder if the great Alvin Lee played it. I saw Chick in 2016 at The Rory Gallagher Festival in Ireland for the first time in a few years but forgot to ask him about the guitar, which I fully intend to do next time I see him'

The Ian Barrison Collection
John "Ian" Bairnson (3rd August 1953 – 7th April 2023) was a Scottish musician, best known as a member of Pilot and the Alan Parsons Project. He was a multi-instrumentalist, who played saxophone and keyboards, although he was best known as a guitarist. He started his career as a session guitarist, before joining up with former Bay City Rollers' David Paton and Billy Lyall to form the band Pilot in 1973. His time with Pilot saw the release of the two hit singles, ‘Magic’ and ‘January’, the latter reaching number one in the UK and other global charts. Both of these singles have since become grounded as classic tracks from the era. Whilst with Pilot, he started his collaboration with the record producer Alan Parsons on their debut self-titled album. It was this relationship that helped incorporate most of the members into band. One distinctive guitar solo of note was on the track 'I Wouldn't Want to be Like You' that featured in the 1977 film 'I Robot' From 1978, Bairnson started sessions with Kate Bush, recording guitars on her first four albums, 'The Kick Inside', 'Lion Heart', 'Never for Ever' and 'The Dreaming'. The most notable track featuring Ian’s work was her chart topping debut single 'Wuthering Heights', where he can be heard playing his 1974 Gibson Les Paul Custom on the solo towards the end of the song. Wuthering heights stayed at the top of the UK charts for four weeks. The success of this track and the debut album (‘The Kick Inside’) on which it features, firmly launched her to international stardom. Bairnson also played with Bucks Fizz, for whom he co-wrote their top twenty hits 'If You Can't Stand the Heat' and 'Run For Your Life'. During his session career, he played on more than one hundred albums within different genres for artists such as Yvonne Keeley, Joe Cocker, John Anderson, Chris de Burgh, Mick Fleetwood and Neil Diamond, as well as playing live with Sting, Eric Clapton, Beverley Craven and many more. On behalf of Ian’s family, we are delighted to offer the following 31 lots of guitars, amps and effects, all of which have featured during his successful career.

*Used by Ian as his main live guitar from 1996 onwards. Ian's website states "I first met Paul Reed Smith when I was giving a show for Mesa Boogie amplifiers. During the course of the show the importer of PRS guitars came up to me and said, "Hey, I told Paul you play "Birdland" by Weather Report - he doesn't think it can be done on one guitar". So that was my first meeting with Paul - having to play the most difficult piece right there and then! Then we got to talk about guitars, I told him I had been looking for a really good vintage Les Paul for several years. He instantly said, "I'll build you a guitar that will sound just as good". I was a little sceptical, since the sound of the Les Paul has a lot to do with the design and construction. After some thought and a few faxes between us, I decided the best thing was to see if Paul could build me an instrument which would be the ultimate touring guitar. The result was this custom built McCarty model. It basically sets out to get pretty close to the Les Paul. Then with the inclusion of a centre single coil pickup and a trem, it moves into Strat territory. For the APP sets this is just perfect. I can get a great selection of "real" and natural guitar sounds without having to stop and change guitars. This is a big warm sounding guitar - just how I like 'em!I really believe it to be the "Ultimate Touring Guitar"."

I brought my own Les Paul to pitch it against, and finally the search was over! The sound was spot on! Much money changed hands and I drove it home like an excited sixteen year old. After a mild panic attack when the bridge pickup seemed faulty... I am completely delighted with this new "brother" to my Custom. I can't put it down. I keep thinking, "if only I could have had a '59 Standard at sixteen!" but we can't change the past. The important thing is that now I have the blues sound I always wanted!"

This guitar was purchased by Ian in 1974 from Take Five, Shaftesbury Avenue, London and was his main guitar from the beginning. The guitar features on work with Pilot, the Alan Parsons Project and Kate Bush, including her first four studio albums, most significantly used the solo of her debut chart topping single 'Wuthering Heights'.An excerpt from Ian's website states "Guitar players broadly fall into two main groups - those who consider themselves as "Strat" players and those who are "Les Paul" type players. I have always loved Les Pauls. Ever since I was about fourteen years old I wanted to play one. I prefer the sheer power and kick of a Gibson Les Paul. I bought mine as soon as I could afford one. It came from a shop called Take Five in Shaftesbury Avenue in London and cost me 315 pounds in 1974. It is a Custom model but over the years I have changed bits and pieces and now it looks more like a Standard. I suppose it is true to say that I built a career using only a Les Paul and a Marshall fifty watt amplifier. I never plugged anything between the guitar and the amp. If we wanted effects on the sound, we used the studio effects. They are far better quality and besides ... I couldn't afford that kind of equipment. This guitar has been with me through everything from the early recordings - Pilot, Parsons Project, Kate Bush etc right up to "Time Machine" and Pilot's "Blue Yonder" CD."

"This new 000-28EC model is the best-sounding acoustic guitar I’ve ever played.’ Eric Clapton, 1995"
One of four 000-28EC prototypes made, one of two sent directly to Eric Clapton himself, this unique guitar, thought to be the only prototype with shade top, was approved by Eric Clapton and is significantly the genesis of Martin’s best selling signature model of all time, with over 20,000 units shipped to date.
This guitar is documented in Martin Guitars’ records as one of the prototypes built by them in 1995, to follow through the instant success of their earlier and very limited edition 000-42EC with a more affordable model. According to their records only four prototypes were produced, of which this guitar is the fourth of consecutive serial numbers. Two, including this one, are marked as ‘A/R Write-off’, indicating they were sent for Eric’s approval.
There is no further detail to hand from Martin’s records, other than Dick Boak’s personal recall in the 2003 Martin Guitar Masterpieces Book: “The fact that there was tremendous leftover demand for more Eric Clapton signature model acoustic guitars caused us to consider adding an Eric Clapton stock model to the line, but our policy required that any such offering be significantly different from the previous edition model. Eric responded well to our suggestion of a more affordable model, the results of which yielded some exceptional prototypes of the proposed 000-28EC guitar. This was in effect identical tonally to the 000-42EC model, but without all the pearl and glitz. Simple, classic herringbone rosette and body trim were blended with ivoroid bindings and vintage Style-28 appointments. We sent one of the prototypes to Eric in England and he sent me these exact words back through Lee [Lee Dickson, Eric’s guitar tech] : ‘Don’t get me wrong. I love my 000-42EC Martins. The craftsmanship and detail are superb. But this new 000-28EC model is the best sounding acoustic guitar I’ve ever played.’ … We took the 000-28EC to the Nashville NAMM Show in July of 1996 and returned home with a slew of orders. Eric had added the 000-28EC to his cache of performance guitars and he continued to be surprised at how a lower-cost instrument could stand up to the top-of-the-line guitars.”
The above extract suggests that only one prototype was sent to Eric; in which case his very vocal enthusiasm would have been directed at this particular guitar, #563664, and if not, then at the only pair of prototypes allocated to him – this one, and its companion, #563663.
Martin’s records do indicate that two prototypes were allocated to Eric; certainly, contractual obligations required two to be delivered. In recent emailed conversation between the vendor and Dick Boak (early 2024) he felt that two might have been sent – certainly Eric requested and received several production 000-28EC guitars over the years – but at this point the whereabouts of the second prototype is unknown, as indeed are the whereabouts of the other two (#563661 and #563662) listed in Martin’s records. So right now, until the other three make themselves known, this shade top is seemingly the only acknowledged prototype of Martin’s most successful limited-edition guitar, launched at NAMM a year later in 1996 and since selling upwards of 20,000 guitars.
Since Eric’s ownership, the guitar has remained virtually untouched and is in good condition – other than for the very distinctive belt buckle scratches on the back and obvious signs of use to the top. Sent to Eric for approval, he went on to do precisely that, as quoted above, and very vociferously via Lee Dickson: “… but this new 000-28EC model is the best-sounding acoustic guitar I’ve ever played.” The substantial scratch marks amply testify to that; this is clearly a guitar Eric played and enjoyed greatly, and over a considerable period. Nor is it possible to discount the likelihood, owing to the extent and positioning of this marking on an otherwise perfect guitar, that as Dick Boak also wrote in Martin Guitar Masterpieces, Eric went on to add this to his roster of his performance guitars.
Regarding the belt buckle scratches, again, this from Martin Guitar Masterpieces: “…. We took the 000-28EC to the Nashville NAMM Show in July of 1996 and returned home with a slew of orders. Eric had added the 000-28EC to his cache of performance guitars…” The prototype on offer, as delivered to and formerly owned by Eric, has not only been played by him for his personal approval, at least, but also clearly played hard; it’s been put through its paces, and over a considerable amount of playing time. The resulting scratch damage on the back is by no means insubstantial. Despite having no photographic evidence, nor any further documentation other than that intimated in Dick Boak’s text as quoted above, it would not be beyond the bounds of possibility to reach the conclusion that this guitar had also been played live on stage – the nature and position of the buckle scratches point to the distinct likelihood of that being the case. Sitting in the comfort of living room or studio with any guitar, new or ageing, would never create marking to this extent.

Since the launch of the 000-28EC model, two significant examples from the production run have hit the auction block: Number #1 of the production edition, natural top, serial number #576553 (1996) was sold at Christie’s in New York on October 10th, 2008 for $11,250. Christie’s note on the lot reads: ‘The relationship between C.F. Martin and Company and Eric Clapton extends back to 1995 with the introduction of Martin’s 000-42EC. This was the first Signature Edition guitar to follow on the heels of the Gene Autry D-45. Since that date Clapton and Martin have collaborated on no fewer than 7 different signature models. The most enduring of these is the 000-28EC. Built to Clapton’s exacting specifications these guitars have been in production since 1996. Inscribed on the label #1, this is the first guitar of the edition.’A further production model of the edition, owned and played by Eric during 1996-1997, serial number #589132 (1996) was sold at Bonham’s in London on December 15th, 2011 for £27,500
Provenance: The vendor, an artist who worked closely on various projects with Eric Clapton, Eric’s former manager Roger Forrester and later with Dick Boak, took ownership of this guitar on 27th November 2003. Purchased directly from Roger Forrester, it had been kept at his offices in Harley House, London, between then and Eric parting with the guitar. A copy of a document is provided as evidence of transaction. (Originals retained by the seller to protect personal details). Emails between the vendor and Dick Boak confirming facts regarding this guitar are available.

Bob McNett (Hank Williams and the Drifting Cowboys) - 1938 C.F. Martin D-28 acoustic guitar, made in USA, ser. no. 69676; Back and sides: Brazilian rosewood, cleated hairline repairs, refinished; Top: replacement spruce top with herringbone banding; Neck: mahogany, reset and refinished; Fretboard: replacement ebony board; Frets: good; Hardware: good, replacement bridge. Case: 1980s Martin hard case; Overall condition: good
*Formerly owned by Bob McNett, guitarist of choice for Hank Williams' backing band 'The Drifting Cowboys'
Purchased by the vendor on the 16th February 1989 from Keith Sellers, founder of Hanks Guitars, Denmark Street London. Keith had previously purchased the guitar from Curtis McPeake, one-time banjoist for Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys. An email exchange between the vendor and Curtis confirms that he remembers selling a guitar for Bob McNett and although he cannot remember the exact details, suggests that it must have been this one.
A 1989 Melody Maker advert shows a listing for a Martin D28 '1938 Ex Hank Williams' band', for the sum of £2250. This caught the vendor's eye and with the help of a loan looked affordable, especially considering a D28 of this vintage, in top condition would have cost around £8000 at the time, which would have been unobtainable. The vendor quickly headed to London by train to visit Keith Sellers at the back of a ladies fashion shop run by his daughter on Tottenham Court Road, where he was allowed plenty of time to sit and try out a rather beaten up but original D28. Major issues were obvious with repairs that were not to a professional standard, including a non-original bridge, many cracks to the top, heavy spruce plates glued underneath to support the top, along with cracks to the back and sides. Despite this, at the end of the viewing, the vendor thought that he was never ever again going to have the chance to buy a D28 of this era at this price, so he left a deposit on 11th February 1989, returning to pay the full balance on 16th February. Later that year, the vendor bought a 1970s Martin case from Andy's Guitars on Denmark Street, London, which the guitar now sits in. The original Melody Maker advert, along with the receipts for both the guitar and case, are included in the sale.
The guitar came with a handwritten letter from Bob McNett responding to a question as to whether Hank Williams ever played this guitar. The letter states that he could not remember seeing Hank play it 'however he could have, and it's entirely possible he did... on stage shows with Hank, I played a Gibson electric, and Hank had his own Martin, so if Hank played this guitar it would have been offstage'. This provenance resulted in the vendor carrying out extensive research relating to the history of this guitar, especially with its links to Bob McNett and Hank Williams. To his delight, he found Bob's nephew Tim on the internet, who is a member of the McNett family band and recalled that Bob had once owned a 1938 D28. Later, he found a photograph for sale of Bob holding the guitar with the McClintock Sisters, which showed the D28 with a split in the lower bass side of the top, in exactly the same position as this very guitar.
Conclusive proof that this guitar was Bob's came when the vendor contacted renowned historian Dick Boak of Martin Guitars with a query about a modern Custom Shop D28 that he owned. In passing, the vendor mentioned the old guitar which immediately interested Dick. Investigating the Martin company records he found a Martin repair document showing job number 8542, 17th October 1984, with serial number 69676 and the owner's name being Bob McNett. A scan of this ledger is included in the sale. Dick also informed the vendor that this guitar's serial number was stamped on the 8th March 1938 and cleared for final inspection on the 17th August the same year.
As time went on, the vendor found the playability of the guitar started to become an issue. He had to make a decision as to whether he would sell the guitar or get it repaired. On the basis that the guitar had already had many repairs, some not so good, he decided on the latter. Two first class luthiers carried out the extensive work that was needed. Well known UK guitar builder and official Martin repairer Dave King examined the guitar and concluded that a replacement top would be the best way to go. All the body cracks could be dealt with properly on removal of the old top. His workmanship on the new top is impeccable and tonally matches. The cracks in the back and ribs are neatly repaired using carefully shaped small rosewood cleats and the hide glue which had at some time been liberally pasted over the inside has also been removed, resulting in a much improved look. A friend of the vendor, expert luthier and professional guitarist Steven Hicks reset the neck, mindful of the vendors requirement for a low action and light gauge strings. He also refinished the guitar body and neck using nitrocellulose lacquer. The face of the head was left alone in order to leave the original Martin Company decal untouched. As much as possible of the guitar from the time the vendor purchased it has been refitted, including the original tuners, and the non factory pickguard. The bridge pins and saddle have also been reused. The binding to the body top is new as is the herringbone trim. The original binding to the back has been left in place as there was no need to remove it. The original damaged top of the guitar was sent to Dick Boak for the Martin Company to keep in their archives. Emails between Dick and the vendor, along with a receipt from Dave King Acoustics, are included in the sale.
Two insurance appraisals are included with the instrument. The first dated 29th November 2008 by Mandolin Brothers, along with another from George Gruhn dated 18th February 2020.

*A rare violin made by former Martin Guitar factory foreman John Henry Deichman in 1914
This violin was part of a collection of instruments belonging to John Pearse, presenter of the popular 1960s BBC2 television Guitar Tuition series.
During the time Pearse briefly worked for Martin, he befriended Deichman, later acquiring the violin from the Deichman estate
Following Pearse's death the vendor, who had business relations with John Pearse dating back to the early 70s, acquired this violin at an auction of his estate in Germany, where he settled in 2002
John Henry Deichman was a significant figure in Martin's history and is credited for being a major influence behind all major designs at Martin from the 1920s to the mid 1940s. During this period, Deichman drafted the Dreadnought guitar, a design that would become the most copied acoustic in the world
Sold with this lot is a copy of 'Frets' magazine from May 1988, 'The Guitar Collectors Issue' covering the 'Martin Dreadnought Story'. Among the many in-depth articles is one written by John Pearse, entitled 'Dawn of the Dreadnought', starting on page 48.

In a spring 2000, issue 14 of The Z Gazette, an interview between Keith Smart and Melvyn Whittaker discusses the history of this bass guitar. The article includes photos of Mel's collection and images of legendary bassist Jaco Pastorius playing it. When Jaco's band were playing in Oxford, England, circa 1979, Mel had a guest list pass via the band's guitar tech. As Jaco predominantly used a fretless bass, Melvyn took it along assuming that it may interest him. Following a soundcheck, the pair met and Jaco played it for nearly an hour, commenting 'What an instrument, this is the most incredible instrument that I've ever played in my life'. Further comments in the feature discuss the pickups, where Mel recalls that they were from an original Fender Telecaster bass that had been given to Tony by Ian McClagan (Faces/Small Faces). Sold with a certificate of authenticity from Keith Smart, confirming hat this is a genuine Anthony Zemaitis guitar, made for Mel Whittaker in 1974.

*This model is a limited run of one hundred and twenty-five guitars, made from the famous four hundred year old black walnut tree that appeared in Stephen King's 1983 horror film Cujo, based on his novel of the same name. The movie was filmed on a ranch in California and when the tree died, the arborist contacted Bob Taylor who then had the idea to make a run of limited edition guitars out of it. This would become one of Taylor Guitars most elaborate projects with the fingerboard inlay being one of the most intricate that has ever been placed on a guitar. This fingerboard serves as a mini storyboard of the film, depicting the bat silhouetted against a full moon, the branches of the walnut tree, the barn from which Cujo launches his attacks and Cujo himself. The guitar's label is hand signed by both Bob Taylor and Stephen King. Sold with a VHS copy of the film.

*Joe Doe Guitars are the brain child of Ben Court, who designs and hand builds guitars that each have an interesting and fun story attached to them. The success of his concept led to him joining up with JHS Vintage to produce limited factory runs of his concepts and ideas. In Joe Does's words: 'Earl's Musical Baseball Bat. If you ever dare drink at the Skulls Motorcycle Bar on North Jackson Avenue, Las Vegas there are certain rules you need to follow in order to stay alive. Firstly, feel free to admire the neat line of Harley Davidson motorbikes parked outside, but don't touch them. Secondly, know your place. A small area at the bar is reserved for visitors - it's down at the far end, illuminated by the flickering neon sign that reads Toilets. And thirdly, when the Skulls bar owner Earl Graves gets up to play guitar in the house band, you listen, you love it and you applaud like your life depends on it...because it just might' £1000-1500

In Joe Does's words: 'As soon as he learnt to walk, Brandon Hicks displayed a frightening talent for destruction; burning down the family condo aged five, breaking too many bones to keep count and even shattering his front teeth trying to catch a speeding baseball in his mouth. Having exhausted the patience of his parents and small town residents of Bone Lake, Wisconsin, teenager Hicks was exiled in 1977 and left to travel across America. Drifting from state to state, more wrecking ball than tumbleweed, Hicks eventually found his spiritual home in Times Square, New York, 1979. Hicks worked a ticket booth at the Wide Eye peepshow by day and played with his band Fist Meets Face at night. After only a few explosive shows, Fist Meets Face became the must-see act on the New York punk scene, where each performance would include a smashed guitar, a puddle of blood and, following the after-show party, another broken heart. (that's the story we're telling at Joe Doe Guitars...)' £1000-2000

In Joe Does's words: 'The Sistercaster, 1978. Owner: Rev Ralph G. Lee (retired). Follow Rock and Roll back to the source and you'll travel past Jerry Lee Lewis, Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, Little Richard and arrive at Sister Rosetta Tharpe. She was the godmother of rock and roll. Amen! So said retired preacher Ralph G Lee to the Milwaukee Gazette in 1974. Lee created a tribute guitar modelled on Sister Rosetta Tharpe's iconic white 1962 Gibson SG as he couldn't afford an original. 'I play Sister Rosetta's songs every Friday night at the Milwaukee House of Blues, loud and soulful, the way she showed us how'

'The Model Kitcaster, 1965. Owner: Lennie Holden, Hampton, London, UK. Lennie Holden was a prolific model maker who by the age of six had assembled, glued and painted the entire Airfix Military Aircraft range, in both 1:48 and 1:72 scale. Worried that his son's passion was becoming an obsession, Lennie's father Ned presented him with the Model Kitcaster guitar on Christmas morning 1965, in an attempt to expand his son's horizons. The ruse worked, and Lennie soon became obsessed with guitar playing and went on to form The Spitfires, a popular blues band on the London circuit from 1974 to 1989

In the words of Joe Doe: 'Atomika, circa 1976. Not much information available on this guitar yet, though it seems to have been a prototype made in 1973 by Pepperjoys Inc, a Dallas toy manufacturer. The company was behind several successful board games such as Yats! and Stick it to Daddy but, following a class action for burn injuries caused by the bubblegum toy in 1971, the company tried to reposition itself by moving into the supposedly safer and less litigious musical instrument market. It didn't work out as state files tell us Paperjoys Inc filed for bankruptcy in 1974'
