The Cars: Elliot Easton's 1975 Fender
The Cars: Elliot Easton's 1975 Fender Telecaster used on 'The Cars' and 'Candy-O' LPs. This Fender Telecaster is one of two instruments used by Elliot Easton to record The Cars' first two LPs, 'The Cars' and 'Candy-O'. He also used this instrument for live performances to promote the records. Elliot had famed pickup designer Seymour Duncan modify the guitar for use on tour. Modifications include a 1950s style see-through butterscotch finish on the body, a custom Duncan bridge position pickup, vintage style brass bridge saddles and Kluson tuners, and a black/white/black pickguard. Included with this auction lot is a Fender hard shell case, Elliot's handwritten letter of authenticity, and a copy of the DVD 'The Cars Live' signed by Elliot. The DVD shows Elliot using this guitar in live performance. Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
