ABOUT THE COLLECTION

 

Geddy Lee of the celebrated Canadian rock trio Rush has spent the past few years delving deep into the rich history of the instrument that defined his 40-plus year career as one of rock history’s most talented bassists. His focused efforts led him not only to build a world-class, investment-grade collection of ultra-rare and desirable vintage and antique guitars, but also to create a book that takes an in-depth look into the amazing evolution of what Lee, the collector, has come to view as a work of art in its own right. With his book now a complete and published piece and his private collection of guitars nearing 300 in total, Lee said he feels that the time has come to reunite a select few of his finest string instruments with talented musicians around the world who can help these works of art fulfill their original and intended purpose of making art. As such, a small selection of six blue-ribbon, coveted classic guitars from Lee’s private collection is now slated to join the Mecum Auction lineup for the Las Vegas auction this October 10-12 as part of Mecum’s new department: Mecum Presents Guitar Search by Domino, and it’s highlighted by a “holy grail” Les Paul Gibson from 1959.

Mecum is a class organization;their auto auctions are world famous. Glad he didn't just stick them on eBay! :LOL:

 

Their car auctions are actually even broadcast on the NBC Sports Network!

 

It's fun to watch and dream.

 

Yeah, somehow the $29.99 I have to spend on a classic car never seems like it'll be enough.

 

I'm not really into cars too much, but I am always impressed by the condition of those cars, the loving care someone has been giving them, and the sheer scale of the enterprise. Car people are REALLY into their cars.

 

I kind of assumed Geddy would be selling a bass or two . . .

A few years back I spent a day at the Barrett-Jackson auction during its annual run in West Palm Beach, and yes, loving care pretty much describes it. Fantastic beasts!

Geddy Lee should be auditioning drummers.

 

I have a secret.

 

I will never tell. But I have something from Geddy. It's sacred and rare and he gave it to me. You will never know. Please don't PM me either. LOL

 

You people think I'm a drunk drug addict lunatic? LOL!

 

You have no idea what I have.

 

"The joke's on you......"

 

I will never tell.

 

Public Forums are not so sacred. But I love many on here.

 

 

Good night Fools and fabulous Rush Fans.

 

 

Keep hating me and the love will grow...........................

I have something from Geddy that is worth more than anything from his whatever bass guitar collection!

 

 

I will pm you about it. If you want to know.

 

It's Epic. Only a few on here know.

 

 

 

Remember Pat. If you really do ask for something in this life, you really might get it. I have it.

When I win the lottery, I'm buying me a 1970 Plymouth GTX with a gott damn 426 Hemispherical chambered engine in it.

Outstanding! At the show in West Palm Chevrolet Performance Parts displayed a 69 Chevelle Malibu, one of which I had once owned. But this baby was all resto-moded out-black on black and a SP 383 small block (435 hp, 450 ft. lbs. @ 5600 RPM), nasty!

He looks like he's trying to put the guitar in a choke hold.

he's not far down on the darwin scale than this.

Got to admit I like those old Steven Seagal films. Not the straight to video nonsense he's been doing for the last 20 years, of course.

 

So Geddy has a '55 Strat and a '59 Les Paul. Fantastic.
