A Yamaha RGX 312 guitar, used by Ned's Atomic Dustbin guitarist Rat to compose and record the early singles and used live onstage at the early gigs. Complete with case with stickers. In Rat's words:
"Yamaha RGX 312. My first guitar and the one I learned to play on. All songs up to and including KYTV I wrote on this guitar and that includes of course ‘Grey Cell Green’ which was written very early in our ‘career’. Was used for the very early tours with The Wonder Stuff (HUP Tour) and The Seers. The hand-painted pictures are the Kangaroos from Tank Girl as was a huge fan of the comic in the 80’s. Here's me playing it at Dingwalls (see pictures). Here’s another video of me using it, again at Dingwalls and then again at Wolves Poly "
From the collection of Ned's guitarist Gareth 'Rat' Pring.
