Yep, TP was definitely a sharp-dressed man in that !!
That coat was seen in the video for "So You Want to be a Rock In Roll Star" with Tom and Mike playing Rics

Heard from John Hall about this guitar.

It is not a prototype but rather a one off.

"This is indeed a fully solid body guitar- and very heavy.

It is NOT a prototype, as there was never an intention to build another. It
WAS a special request and I had it built as a personal birthday gift to
Tom."

So there you go folks - hard info on it.

What material is the body? Maple? How heavy it must be!

Some new images popped up on Facebook of this guitar, which is back on display in Cleveland...

I thought I would add them here for future reference...
