Carl Perkins Played & Signed Squire Telecaster Guitar.
Carl Perkins has signed and inscribed this Squire Telecaster Guitar in a black sharpie. The consignor was good friends with Carl Perkins and was able to get this guitar signed by him through his relationship with Carl. Carl liked the guitar so much he even played it.
Per the consignor: “Carl was one of the founders of rock. He wrote and recorded “Blue Suede Shoes, and wrote songs recorded by other artists including The Beatles and Johnny Cash, and toured with Johnny for years. He was a wonderful man. I had the great pleasure of helping him get one of his record deals. Carl was thrilled to be able to sign a guitar for me. He really liked the guitar, he tuned it and played a couple of songs on it. He was a very humble man.”
