A few years back, EB produced a half dozen or so custom painted BOC themed guitars. If I remember correctly he would present the guitars to the highest bidders at live shows near them if possible. I'm curious as to whether any members here bought one or if any ever showed up for resale. I can't find any info on the web regarding these guitars.

I was thinking of those earlier. I don’t believe that anyone here at the time claimed one.

The "highest bidder" part would have knocked me out....not that I wouldn't in so much as I couldn't! 🤣

Chuck here has a very nice one. Not sure if it’s a Stun version.

Is that what was sold at the yard sales? I read somewhere that Eric, and another band member, did yard sales at pre-shows, I believe. I wasn’t exactly sure what that meant, or what it was about.

I remember seeing it somewhere on a forum...hang on a second. Aha, found it! Link here. Although, this was posted 12 years ago, so it might be outdated. Also, didn't Eric use the second Kronos guitar recently? "I also picked up one of 2 custom guitars Eric Bloom had made back in the '70's. For some reason he donated one of them to a charity fundraiser and it showed up years later at a shop that a bass player friend of mine worked at in San Jose called the Starving Musician. Evidently the guy who won it wasn't a fan and traded it in, my friend called me immediately knowing I was a fan. Eric has asked about getting it back but he has the other one and he's cool about it."  |

I do remember at a BOC show on one occasion where one of the custom EB guitars was handed over to its buyer; can't remember the show.
Regarding his Kronos guitar, it made a brief appearance last year at the Sony Theater; Eric was strumming it, and may have sounded a bit nasty.
Richie gave Eric a look like...nah, doesn't sound good, and Eric changed guitars.
Anyone else remember that?
Maybe the moment will seen on the DVD.

I own a 65 Fender Strat that Albert bought in 1973. My prized BOC procession that I’m putting up for sale due to funding of a car restoration.
Anyone interested before I go the dreaded eBay route?

Apologies Alma,if I can’t say about the guitar on here. You used to have a ‘Trade’ section but I couldn’t find it.
Tony.

Hi Buck,
Albert bought it second hand from We Buy Guitars New York in 1973.
He thought it was a ‘58 but he found out it was a ‘65 when he went to sell it.
He sold it to a guy in 2005 and I’ve owned it since 2011.
I’ll try to add some pictures.
