    This is a prized item from my stash, but other demands are pressing.

    Signed by Johnny for me, at Cactus Records during his final stop, in Houston. The Beaumont Texas native then left to tour in Europe and did not make it home.

    But, for me, his victory was in his sobriety, and this is the nicest signature I have ever seen him lay down! He was in very good spirits meeting all his Texas fans, that day...

    So the guitar is not "special" , It's a base Fender Telecaster with an "M" serial number..but the asking price here reflects my respect for his skills and his life.
    And he ripped!

    I'd prefer it be on display with a nice show picture or perhaps the album JDW III
    Any takers, at $800??

    Pics to follow, thanks!!
    Black finish with white pick guard....

    My friend in San Antonio said: "Well, it needs to be cleaned!"

    LOL!
    Carefully I guess.

    There's actually a Tribute album in the works now, produced by Edgar to his brother, I know Alan Haynes has cut tracks, so Johnny is gone but long remembered!
    I think the release drops in April 2022....

    I think there is one "scuff" on the back, but absolutely no paint chips or damage.....it reads "as new" coming out of the gig bag, except for my comments on cleaning. I don't know enough to even think about that!!

    So "As is" is a good recap of condition!
    I'd say a "10" but WTF do I know????

    I had a close friend took pictures of the signing, but they have been mislaid.

    He's in business in Houston though so I guess a Notarized COA is possible if you have a format, for one.
    I handed it Johnny and chatted....
    He bent way down over it, to sign it, and handed it back!

    So there's the Chain of Custody.

    This is a steal but I think I'd be too tempted to actually play it more often than I should. A big J Winters fan needs to pick this up and display it right-hell of an item with a great frickin story.

    Thanks guys, a guy came by all hot and heavy with $500
    I said: "you are not paying attention.".......still available.

    Thanks for the support.

    I don't think playing it would rub that signature where he placed it ....
