It's the one in Electrical Audio. Which means it was used on Public Image *and* In Utero. Had Gibson P90s for a bit but now back to stock. The Levene Wedge was at EA too but was sold, I believe Vincent Gallo has it now. Both guitars were sold by Levene to Chelsea Guitars in NYC in the 80s.
Yes I remember him offering silly money for a wedge years ago on all the forums. He also asked to buy John McGeoch's guitar from me. Likes his post punk guitarists..
Sorry, old thread, but by "him" do you mean Steve A?

Maybe she'll donate some to a suicide prevention charity. That would be nice.
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

Bizarre that a vox that had a D chord strummed on it is going for £80,000 yet John McGeoch's yamaha SG sold for just over a grand a few years back.

Or, maybe, just use the money to make her own life easier and better having lost her father?

She was gifted the guitar. And it sold for double the estimated value. Like I said, it would be a nice gesture considering her father's legacy.

But, I'm sure she'll just buy a bigger house and a fancy car or whatever and be done with it because, well, humans are like that on the whole.

I know your intentions are from a good place and it really would be nice if she did that of her own volition, but I don't think any of us is any place to make that kind of call and judgement. Setting that expectation and playing the "well, you could've done that better!" game gets ugly.

Oh, of course. It was just something that popped in my head as a 'id like that to happen' moment. You know what I mean?

It can't be easy to lose a parent and it must be a difficult life as a result. I also expect it's quite hard for her to live in the internet age and avoid discussions about her father or - worse still - herself. It must be impossible to avoid the ghost of her father everywhere she goes. Hell, she might even stumble on this thread if she's at a low ebb and trawling Google. I hope she doesn't.
