Vintage Pete Back - 1980s



I've unearthed a very old Pete Back custom today, its an unusual piece, with plenty of character. Obviously been gigged with a lot at the height of rock, the guitar is missing a couple of tone knobs and has a few scratches as you would imagine - its over 25 years old I reckon. The headstock marks it out as one of Pete's first runs of guitar making from the late 70's through to the '80s. Its not a custom grade, so it was probably made for sale in a local shop in the Rotherham/Mexborough area. Still its a nice example with an unusual paint job, and deserves its place in this small hall of fame.
