A message from Adrian was recently posted over at the Official Adrian Belew Website which included some word that he has been “cleaning house”, and selling off some of his old equipment.

He indicated he has already sold off a few guitar effects pedals and amps, however the good news for memorabilia collectors out there is that he also will be auctioning off some of his guitars, and has posted information regarding his next planned auction.

Adrian describes the guitar as a brown Roland fretless guitar synthesizer which makes a face when you turn it upside down. He also indicates that he was featured playing it in the Laurie Anderson movie, “Home of the Brave“. It features locking tuning keys, three single coil pickups and a black kahler tremelo, but perhaps the coolest part of the guitar is that it was lovingly hand painted with a telephone, lightning bolt, and revolving chair motif by none other than Laurie Anderson herself! How cool is that?

We have no photo of the guitar yet as the auction will not be posted until Tuesday, January 23rd. The auction will run for 10 days to bid up what Adrian himself describes as a lofty reserve price. Once the auction is active we will make and update with a link to help you find it. I’m curious what it looks like! (My best guess would be that it is a customized Roland GR300, but don’t quote me on that, it is totally a guess.)
