-Wanted-

The guitar connection....

The "homemade" guitar pictured came out of the legacy of Christopher Tidmarsh,

better known as Neil Christian.....singer of 60s British Rock & Roll band

- Neil Christian & the Crusaders! -

  • Other (later) well-known members of the Crusaders were Ritchie Blackmore, Jimmy Page, Mick Abrahams, Paul Brett and Albert Lee.

First thought!

Singers don't build guitars!

Could this one be made / used by one of the great players listed above?


Reply by Mick Abrahams on 60s Crusader band member & guitar as pictured questions...

Hi,

Sorry, not guilty on the home made guitar !! What a horror anyway.

I don’t remember Bernie Hethrington being with the band but he is a good mate .

I think they have the name of the drummer wrong as Graham Hall was in fact named Graham Hallwood !

Thats about it for now the rest was all just rock'n'roll !!!

Mick

Special thanks to Graham - Jethro Tull Forum
