Terry has been in touch with what might be a rare opportunity to buy a very unusual guitar - a start shape with what looks to be birdseye maple or similar top, fretboard and head. Very nice example indeed, with some top quality components:
"...it's about time Pete was recognised for his amazing work. I have a Pete Back guitar that I am reluctantly thinking of selling as my little boy is learning the piano and we would like one at home for him. It was one of the last guitars Pete made before he retired - if not the last. I bought it personally from his workshop in Reeth, Yorkshire. It is a Strat shape finished in the most stunning piece of wood I have seen. I'm a drummer and bought it as a work of art for my music room!! It is pretty much unused and in mint condition. Gotoh pegs, Floyd Rose trem etc - comes with hard case."Although I don't believe this is Pete's last guitar (I'll have a post on that in a few weeks), if you are interested in what is a very rare opportunity to buy a Pete Back guitar as new (and having played a few Pete Back strats I can tell you they tend to be incredible guitars with super fast actions and wonderful clear tones), then drop me an email and I can put you in contact with Terry directly.
