Hard Rock' Vault - London

I went to the Hard Rock in London the other day and was pleased to see a Rick in the vault!

There was a 370/12 on the wall as well signed by McGuinn

Some other cool stuff as well........including very large ice creams!

Do they still have the '86 325 they claim is John Lennon's original RIC? What about the table cards describing how Les Paul invented the electric guitar?

In the past, these folks were simply out of touch with reality. The only good things are that they're just around the corner from The Halkin and I have a gold card that means I don't have to stand in line.

C'mon! What's better than traveling to a foreign country to go into a restaurant that is JUST LIKE the ones everywhere else to pay $12 for an undercooked hamburger?!
I always wanted some kind of documentation for their memorabilia...

No doubt they'd like to have some too.

A Frying Pan is always cool.

No dis on Graham intended...I'm just not a big fan of chain/theme restaurants.

Nothing but love for you Graham!!

There was no '86 325 or any table cards. They had Stu Sutcliffe's bass which was pretty cool and some lefty's old flying V..............(clue in the background!)

But at £1,600,000............I could buy a nice Rick for that!!!

Peter. Graham could have least held it left handed then switch the negative...

Maybe I should go down to the London HRC & "liberate" McGuinns Ricky 360 12?

These guitars should be played not put in a glass case on the wall!

Maybe the customer that eats the most burgers should win the Ricky? I think I could do a Homer if needed!

That isn't one of Roger's guitars. It's one he signed. Substantial difference.

I've sold many, many instruments to HRC over the years. Very few were what they later claimed them to be.

HA!

>>Very few were what they later claimed them to be.

Jeeeezzzz... is NOTHING sacred anymore? I haven't even been inside the Honolulu HRC although I drive by it all the time. We might be playing there around X-mas so I'll be sure to let everyone know what they CLAIM to have.
