My word, I can remember standing and gazing at that at Cropredy '85, and Peggy wandering over and asking me if I was going to bid!

I think I said I might be able to afford to bid for a plectrum  ;D

It doesn't look like anyone has bid for it.

How much would it be without the Dave Pegg association?

Even without its Peggy provenance I expect it would still fetch a few groat - Rob Armstrong makes superb instruments, and this one looks a beauty. Seems to be in splendid nick as well to say it's 30 years old. If only I had £1200 to spare...drool... :P

Gill plays a Rob Armstrong acoustic in Blue Coyotes. It's a peach but only gets taken to special gigs.

I'm sure he used to own a 2nd hand bookshop down the road from me - Armstrong's collectibles. Closed down last year.
