Description

Diddley’s beloved guitar used on the streets of Chicago in the ’50s

Wood grain Harmony Broadway six-string acoustic guitar, personally owned and played by Diddley in the early 1950s, signed on the body in black felt tip, “From Bo Diddley, ‘94’.” In fair condition, with the expected wear, tear, and repairs associated with a heavily played instrument. Accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity from Bo Diddley attesting to the ownership of this guitar, stating “one of my original guitars that I played during the early 1950’s when I was a performer on the streets of Chicago…the guitar has never, until now, been out of my possession.” Pre-certified Roger Epperson/REAL and RR Auction COA.
