*** PLEASE SHARE FAR AND WIDE *** ROCK ACTS SIGN UP TO CREATE UNIQUE GUITAR TO RAISE FUNDS FOR NEW YORK DOLLS LEGEND SYLVAIN SYLVAIN

Rock musicians including Keith Richards, Slash, Myles Kennedy, Michael Monroe, Faster Pussycat and Jizzy Pearl have come together and signed a unique Gretsch guitar, hand-painted by Tyla J Pallas, to raise funds for New York Dolls’ legend Sylvain Sylvain who has been undergoing cancer treatment in the US.

In April 2019 New York Dolls’ guitarist Sylvain Sylvain confirmed that he had been diagnosed with cancer, was undergoing treatment, required further surgery and would be unable to work for some time. As an original member of the New York Dolls, who had inspired a generation of rock musicians, this was devastating news to many within the rock community... In the UK an idea was born. One of our own legends, Tyla (of Dogs D’Amour fame) and his friend/business partner, Alan Hampton (at whose bar both Sylvain Sylvain and Tyla had played in recent years), decided they wanted to do something. Alan had the idea of buying a Gretsch guitar, as played by both Sylvain and Tyla, getting Tyla to paint it and then auctioning it off to raise money. Tyla went one stage further, sourced a new guitar generously donated by Gretsch, hand painted an original New Yorks Dolls design on it and asked his friends within the international rock community to sign it. And they did … and then some. The painted guitar (a new Gretsch Electromatic) is stunning. A unique one-of a kind piece of rock memorabilia that reads like a Who’s Who of 80’s and beyond debauched rock music in all it’s finest glory.

We honor Fred Gretsch Sr. today on this his 140th birth anniversary. Took over the Gretsch family business at the age of 15 when his father, Gretsch founder Friedrich Gretsch, passed away suddenly while traveling. Among many other noteworthy accomplishments, Fred Sr. developed the multi-ply drum lamination process which led to the world's first "warp free" drum hoop.
