Rumours tell us that it was used by one of the guitar players with Eric Burdon but no evidence of that came to us.
What we know is that he original pick ups were Kent Armstrong and the previous owner had Hugh Manson replace them with EMG 81/85s with a kinda coil tap for active pickups. The guitar was stolen in 1995 and recovered by the previous owner from a pawn shop in Plymouth, UK. That would explain the repairs to the lower rear of the body. Whatsoever, it is a great playing and sounding instrument by a first class luthier.
