Lot Essay

This guitar was purchased by the vendor at a charity auction following the performance by the Cash family in Stanthorpe, on 29th May, 1991. Prior to that, the guitar had been signed by The Highwaymen at a previous concert in Brisbane on 15th May. The Slim Dusty signature was acquired in 1998 when he stayed at the vendor's motel in Winton, Queensland, during a tour of the region.
The label inside the guitar would indicate that this guitar was ordered specifically for Cash's tour of Australia with the intention of then donating it to a charity auction.
