“Gary was great on a 335 – he really, really pulled the expression out of that guitar”: Greeny and his Strats were his superstar electrics, but these ‘60s Gibson semi-hollows were Gary Moore’s workhorses – and they’ve still got the blues mojo

Serial number A33857, this stunning '60 ES-355TD was top-of-the-line in its day, and with his ’63 ES-335TD, offered Moore stunning tones. We took a closer look as they headed to an auction where they fetched around $94,000 and $65,000, respectively

With some of the most phenomenal buckle rash you will ever see, Stripe is a holy grail to end all holy grails. As it is being sold privately via Bonham's, we get evaluator Steve Clarke to spill Stripe's secrets
