Jeff Nolan, Hard Rock's resident historian and all-around music nerd, sits down with Kip Elder, one of the best luthiers in the country, to talk about some of the pieces from Hard Rock's memorabilia collection.

Here, Jeff and Kip show off Marc Bolan's (T-Rex) Veleno Original guitar. It's an incredible guitar for an incredible, and grossly underrated, musician. Legend has it that this guitar, of which there were only about 200 made, was the very first sold by John Veleno.

These YT clips of famous guitars are a bit annoying. They are all electric guitars but these guys are not plugging them in!

Hey Jeff Nolan, do you guys have Mick Ronsons Les Paul? I believe it's bolted to your Sydney restaurant. That guitar needs to be put in your guys museum like pronto!

I love these guitars. I rember talking with john Veleno. The price in the 1970s for these great guitars was $450.00. I could have came up with that back then. however today it is impossible for me to own one. again I LOVE these guitars

My comment reads in full "Excellent and informative" I think you have replied to the wrong comment!

No doubt you are right about some points, and entirely ignorant in your complaints. That is ignorant of the true facts

I am writing an autobiographical portion of my life that involves my guitar making. In it refers to your comment that I spelled Marc Bolan's name wrong, however you are mistaken in your comment about the name. It is in my autobigography. Your story is very incomplete regarding this issue. Email me at [email protected] for further details.

Love the way the yanks say Aloominum instead of Alyouminium. Anyway, this IS informative and at first I did not recognise the guitar. Bit I think I have seen it here on Yootoob In the Buick Mackane vid made for an early 70's U.S promotional tour.
