I heard there is a aniversary on the 19th for the guitar - and it's going to be auctioned off - somewhere fancy - anyone hear about this ? I did play a 1979 deluxe cherry sunburst in High school - Ace Frehley inspired in 8th grade - by 12th grade - playing house parties - cops - etc

I heard the guitar was originally called - black demon - not black beauty - I have read many stories about Paganini - Italian romantic - and some of the intense craftmanship of various violins - there's a interesting movie called "Violin" - follows time periods of owners -
