I hope he plays it and enjoys it. In fact I'm sure he will, he's not a big collector, he's a player. I hate vintage guitars inside vaults or glass cabinets.
What a COOL story!!!!!!!! THAT is not something that happens often.
I sure hope Geddy plays it, and doesn't just store it away somewhere. It would look GREAT next to his 4080!!!!!!
Very cool deal!! I too hope he actually plays it . . . glad that it's suggested that he hasn't totally forsaken Rics.

The story I heard (from a reputable Toronto source) was that much of Rush's old gear was donated to the Canadian Museum of Civilization as a tax right off. The double necks were part of this donation. Thats why on their recent recordings they had to rent Taurus pedals because their originals were gone.
A list of what was donated by Rush to the museum...
List of what has been given to the museum. This also contains a list of items
that were on loan to the rock and roll hall of fame but now have a permanent
home.
