THE OLD MAN – Offered here is the single most import piece of Graves memorabilia – the one, the only “Old Man”. This Yamaha guitar was originally acquired while touring with Gotham Rd. One day it was pulled from the back trailer after some equipment fell on top of it and cracked the wood along a seam of the bell of the guitar. The Old Man as it came to be known got its name from the incredible amount of compositions, live performances and travel it has under its proverbial belt. Just about everything you have heard since 2001 was composed on this instrument. Some of those songs include:



Teenage Monster,

Lucifer I am,

Shelter,

The House,

We Wait,

Frostbite,

Wormwood,

Nothing,

Radio Deadly,

1119,

Return To Earth,

Locked Away,

Best Of Me,

Burn Baby Burn,

Th Eternal Haunting,

Generation Coming Down,

Almost Home,

One Moment Away,

Revolution By Candlelight,

Train To The End Of The World,

Oh Please Why,

Break Me Out,

Chasing The Wind,

I Can Feel Heaven,



This instrument can be heard on the Romania studio sessions that became Illusions Live and can be seen on the cover of Vagabond Acoustic.It was retired last year when Michale found Cherry Red, his current acoustic guitar.. Michale and the Old Man have traveled literally tens of thousands of miles together over that 13 year period. It has been played on stages throughout the world everywhere Michale has traveled in the US and abroad. This is the chance to acquire a “Hall of Fame” quality piece of Rock n Roll history. This instrument is in working condition including the internal pickup. The artwork on the face of Old Man was done by Michale while traveling in South America in 2012.

Shipping cost will be determined based on the location of the purchaser. If interested Michale will travel to you to hand deliver the Old Man and tell song classic stories about his carrier and how the Old Man influenced his writing and composition. The person making the pledge will pay for the shipping/delivery method of their choice (postage or Michales travel cost to/from you).
