The Ultimate Prize for the No1 Fratellis Fan!This is Jon Fratellis Fender Telecaster Serial Number R072399 which he used throughout his career with The Fratellis that he very kindly donated to the Meningitis Trust for a charity event back in 2008. Please email me and i will send all info on the event/documentation plus video footage.This Guitar was used to write record tour etc and became Jons Trademark guitar and is seen in TV Appearances/Music videos, Shows etc and is signed by all 3 members on the back and can be seen in the video for their International smash hit classic anthem Chelsea Dagger.I also have footage of them playing at Supersonic Festival in 2007 playing "FlatHead" with some great close ups of the guitar and also Henrietta at the same festival and also playing live at the ABC in Glasgow in 2006 and around 25 close up dated/documented photographs of Jon with the guitar with him at shows/festivals such as T in The Park, V Festival, The xfm anniversary event at The Astoria London in 2007 plus other shows in 2006 here in the UK and America. (Too many for ebay to permit) also photos with the guitar tech/roadies, newspaper articles of the event and private studio photographs of the band recording their second album "Here We Stand" in Scotland from where the guitar was collected from for the charity event. I also have a newspaper article on the collection for the event, a print out from the Meningitis Trust, and a signed letter from the winner. If you type in "The Fratellis Meningitis Trust" in google their is still loads of info of the event from 2008. It is now the 10th Anniversary of "Chelsea Dagger" and their debut album "Costello Music". The band will be celebrating by embarking on a full tour throughout November to February and will be playing Costello Music in full (See Fratellis.com) So as you can imagine Magazines/Newspapers etc will be giving the band alot of coverage.This Guitar has amazingly been in storage since it was won by a single raffle ticket and has spent the last 9 years in its original G&G hardcase in a cupboard. It has been remarkably preserved and what makes this more unusual is that it has been untouched and out of circulation while in its 9 year hibernation. This guitar and its case has toured the world with one of the most important acts of the early/mid 2000's. It is a true piece of Rock n' Roll history. ps Jon if your out there you can happily have it back ;) Also a point of interest. Chelsea Dagger is the official goal song for the most successful NHL American hockey league the Chicago Blackhawks.United States buyers welcome for any of you Chicago Blackhawks Fans or Team Players this would make a great item/focal point if were to put in a glass cabinet etc at The Blackhawks arena.Jon or his Guitar Tech added a pair of upgraded HotRails pickups,Deluxe Grover Tuners, an extra string tree and a early 1985 "Vintage A" fender bridge. The guitar was crafted in Japan the serial number dates it as made between 2004/5. The neck is completely straight and the action is superb. I also have around 20 close up photos of Jon with the new pickup/specs at fests/shows in 2007 just before he gave it away. Email and i will send you everything.You are very welcome to come view at my home in Birmingham but please no timewasters with this one. I am in no rush to sell it and I will happily hold on to it till their 25th Anniversary. This is a true investment piece and will only sky rocket in price over the coming years and is a bargain even at the original 6500 "Buy It Now" price. I will be using ebay over the next few weeks before talking with the more traditional Auctioneers such as Sothebys/Christies, Juliens etc and both the Scottish and London Hard Rock Café Memorabilia Museums. Also football organisations who also use the track, Chelsea Football Club Celtic FC and the Darts etc. Chelsea Dagger has its own Wikipedia if you go to the section "Usage In Sports" you will see a full list of National and International clubs who use the track as a goal song.As i am a collector i will consider part ex's for other high end or vintage guitar/s amps etc. Due to its value i will be dropping this off personally paypal prefered (UK Mainland only) and/or If you decide to collect then it is strictly CASH ONLY. International buyers welcome but please contact me first regarding exact shipping as exported items may be subject to customs processing and additional charges.As stated on the buying options i will take offers (However Low) Try Me :) as the buy it price is based on the rough estimate valuation. Feel free to ask any questions and to organise a viewing. Warmest Regards and Happy ebaying.
