Bob Marley’s Washburn Hawk Custom

Bob was never seen playing this guitar, but nonetheless, it became one of his best-known instruments. The reason for that is the story told by the guitar technician Gary Karlson who received this guitar as a present from Marley in November of 1979. Just two years after that Bob died, and this guitar became an invaluable piece of history.

The story of what happened to this guitar since then is a weird one, and we are preparing a piece to tell the story behind it, which will be linked from here as soon as we’ve done the research.
