“This guitar has a split on the lower body. Could you please get it patched up?"—handwritten letter from Keith Richards to his in-demand guitar tech

ALS signed “Keith,” one page, 5.5 x 6.75, no date. Handwritten letter to famed guitar tech Alan Rogan, in full: “This guitar has a split on the lower body. Could you please get it patched up – maybe Dick?? Give us a call in the week.” A collector’s hand has added Rogan’s and Richards’ names to the upper and lower sections. In fine condition, with a couple of very small stains.

Alan Rogan was an English guitar tech and player (1951–2019) who worked primarily for Pete Townshend of the Who. Other notable clients included Eric Clapton, George Harrison, Joe Walsh, Eagles, Keith Richards, Ronnie Wood, AC/DC, Cliff Richard and the Shadows, and Tom Petty. As a performer, he recorded with Aretha Franklin (along with Richards and Wood), Prelude, and his own band, Blues Club.
