BERNIE MARSDEN - TALES OF TONE & VOLUME
Bernie developed one of the most unique and expansive private guitar collections in the world. Over a two year period the collection was extensively photographed by Melvyn May and the Rufus team using a special “light painting” technique to reveal them in all their glory, from the unseen wonders of the world famous “The Beast” to the intricate detail on his much signed and cherished Martin Coletti. Every guitar comes with its own story, from how it was acquired to where and when it was played, you will be able to see the very guitar he used during the writing and recording of some rock classics, many anecdotes of some pretty famous people encountering his guitars on the road and in the studio.

The images have been assembled into this beautiful, 384 page full colour luxury book, available in three stunning editions shipping December 2018. NORMALLY £95
