Lot Essay

According to Jeff’s then guitar technician Steve Prior, this guitar was acquired from Charlie Chandler’s Guitar Experience in Hampton Wick, England, in the early 2000s, for use on a recording session with Jools Holland and Tom Jones. When discussing the release of his ninth studio album Jeff with Barry Cleveland for Guitar Player in 2003, Jeff revealed that ‘Take a Ride (On My Bottleneck Slide)’, which featured as one of two bonus tracks on the Japanese edition of the album, ‘was played on a weird old Danelectro baritone.’ As of 2009, the Danelectro was kept at Jeff’s home studio for occasional use, as seen in the 2009 documentary Rock Prophecies about rock photographer Robert M. Knight.
