Boston Band Signed Guitar Mitchell Campfire MD-100 Acoustic (6) Brad Delp, Tom Scholtz, etc. – COA JSA

Presented is a Mitchell MD-100 acoustic guitar autographed by members of Boston. Superbly autographed in black felt tip pen (“8-9”) on the body of the guitar are (6) signers from the main core of the band including: Brad Delp, Tom Scholtz, Michael Sweet, Tommy DeCarlo, Gary Pihl and Curly Smith. Interesting to note, the band’s name was inscribed in their spectacular font, “BOSTON” by one of the members along with several of the members dating it to when they signed it in 1995. Overall a spectacular piece and a moment of time in rock history. The guitar shows mild but typical wear from transport.

This guitar originated from a Hard Rock Hotel & Casino employee who worked with talented musicians that came to the venue to perform. In the process of all the back stage antics (the partying, the moving and jostling, just dealing with rock stars), many of the guitars have battle wounds including scuffs, scrapes (etc.) and may have been played.

The consigner also worked with the curator of the historic memorabilia laden casino who had the access to many celebrities and musicians (and their memorabilia of course). As a collector, it was truly the place to be as it allowed his treasure trove to be amplified. He is now ready to bring some of those treasures to market. Take notice, in the process of obtaining autographs of the musicians he had them sign the body of a guitar which is more rare than the placed pick guard ones that are often brought to market. As a musician himself, he also made sure that the guitars in his collection were oftentimes elite models like this one.
