This guitar built in 1983 by Tom Holmes was one of only 20 such guitars made. The guitar was intended to replicate Bo's "Cadillac" guitar built for him by the Gretsch guitar company. According to the maker, the Turbo and Diamond Hall stickers were added at a later time. It features a mahogany neck and body, white binding on the top edge of the body, rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays, TCH monogram peghead inlay, Grover Rotomatic tuners, two Bill Lawrence pickups and Badass Bridge. The guitar comes with a letter of authenticity from Tom Holmes and a black case featuring Bo Diddley’s signature and hand drawings. The case reads on the interior, ““Bo Diddley” (“Jr” added later) and “Make Love” in silver marker. Categories: Bo Diddley
