Shannon,
The story I've heard about the begining of the Hard Rock starts
with Eric Clapton. Eric frequented a bar in London and gave the
owner one of his guitars. Pete also went to the same bar. One day
he went in and saw Eric's guitar on the wall. A few days later a
package was sent to the bar. Pete sent a guitar with a note that
said "Mine's as good as his". From there the idea to collect stuff
from famous Rockers was born.
The guitar you saw is called a Flying V. I don't know if this is
the same guitar, but Pete is pictured with one on the Chinese Eyes
album and plays one during Slit Skirts on the Chinese Eyes video.
