Ha, interesting: thanks for the heads-up.

For those of us as don't know Gere's gear, which of his items stand out - to a collector's eye?

Cheers - C

Neat, thanks Alain. Do we know what Gere is like as a player? Not that it matters, but...

Cheers - C

I thought Steven Segal owned AK's guitars? I know he has at least 3 of them, including 2 of the most important V that Albert played...

But this is the most beautiful V that Albert played, not sure who has that one... I know Albert gave it to Lee King just days before he passed away, but someone recently bought it, maybe it was Gere...

I'm surprised that Gibson didn't make a Richard Gere guitar after all they made a Keifer Sutherland issue when someone there heard that he played a Gibson.They could make a Richard Gere/Julia Roberts/Roy Orbison Epiphone Balladeer XII Pretty Woman model and charge $20,000 for it.
