Members Wicked_Tone Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 I still can't believe Gary Moore is dead. I wonder now what will become of his guitar collection. I read a posting on his official website that he had recently bought some new guitars before he took a holiday to Spain with his girlfriend. I'm curious if Ronnie Montrose will try to purchase/claim the 1959 Les Paul that Gary supposedly has in his collection as Ronnie had filed a lawsuit against Gary back two years ago? If I had the cash, I would be keen to buy one of Gary's guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Brian May Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 His kids will most likely inherit what he has. The Peter Green LP was sold last year so thats his most expensive gone already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Spudro Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 In the absence of a will the probate court will most likely decide. I will wager that the guitars of Gary Moore will not become probate court fodder. WAAAAAYYY too much value and historical significance there. In addition to the alleged "Montrose Les Paul" Gary had some other very choice pieces. There will be some high offers. Gary's carer is about to enter a solid upward phase of popularity as various record and communication industries make their moves to cash in, or 'get while the gettin's good'. Barring any legal obstacles, Gibson will probably do more than only increase their MSRP on the Gary Moore BFG Les Paul. Many will be reminded of Moore by those who have a way figured out to profit from it. If he wasn't already, Gary is about to become way too big for his gear to be surrendered.

Members Cpt Albatross Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Some people never realise to plan. Guess it's hard to right something for your death though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TeleFromHelly Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 That's so unbelievably fiscally irresponsible of his manager(s) to allow that to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Wicked_Tone Posted February 20, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 That's terrible that he has no will. It's a shame that there was no planning for such a possibility of death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 Has it been established that there was no will or is it just speculation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members caveman Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 I never said he didn't have a will, I said in the absence of one. If you haven't taken care of business in advance then the government has authority over the final disposition of your treasure/estate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully he has a will so that his property is handled fairly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bbreaker Posted February 20, 2011 Members Share Posted February 20, 2011 I can't begin to think about the in fighting that could happen with GM's guitars/property.My brother-in-law passed away from a long bout with ALS . He was a guitarist. I visited my sister and I was cleaning up his guitars. There was a big deal by their 2 daughters (spoiled lazy brats) who were fighting over the guitars.It's a nasty unpleasant situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
