Hard Rock Cafe Memorabilia: Guitar Collection


Welcome to  Rare Antiques Collectibles and Memorabilia Blog.



"Mine's as good as his any day" was the message of the note Pete Townshend of the legendary rock band The Who, sent to the owners of Hard Rock Cafe Morton and Tigrett. Townshend donated a black Gibson Les Paul with that note.

Townshend felt upstaged and somewhat annoyed by the glaring sight of Eric Clapton's Fender Lead ll guitar (mounted on the wall) when Clapton bequeathed it, unsigned as a token of his friendship and appreciation to the Hard Rock Cafe guys. More guitar players followed suit. Soon donating a guitar for display at the Hard Rock Cafe became a rock and roll rite of passage.

Forty years later Hard Rock Cafe has more than 157 venues in 52 countries. Hard Rock Cafe is the fan mecca that it is today, overflowing with rock and roll memorabilia.

Guitars remain the meat and potatoes of Hard Rock's collection
