THE RICHARD FORTUS COLLECTION
Over 200 pieces of the artist’s personal and stage-played gear, available only at the Chicago Music Exchange.
The Richard Fortus Collection is finally here! This massive haul features over 200 pieces, and it’s only at the Chicago Music Exchange!
In his quest to buy a ‘Burst, Fortus is offering up electric and acoustic guitars from his personal cache, as well as amplifiers, combos, cabinets, and stage- and studio-played gear culled from over 30 years touring the world with Guns N’ Roses, Thin Lizzy, The Psychedelic Furs, Rihanna, *NSYNC, The Dead Daisies, and more!
Each item in the Richard Fortus Collection will include a Certificate of Authenticity, as well as a brief description or anecdote written by Richard Fortus himself.
All of these pieces are one of one, a unique part of the artist’s musical history, which he hopes to trade for the ultimate collector’s prize: a Sunburst-finish Gibson Les Paul Standard, an impossibly rare vintage model affectionately known as a “‘Burst.”
THE COLLECTION IS OPEN FOR BUSINESS!
