MISSING ROLLING STONES GUITAR AT DENTIST
Music legend BRIAN JONES' first ever electric guitar has been discovered more than 40 years since it went missing - at a dentist's surgery in London, England. Jones, who died aged 27 in 1969, used the Harmony Stratotone on the first Rolling Stones hit, Come On, and is said to have taught Keith Richards to play on it. The guitar vanished in the early 1960s, and the family of Basil "Tug" Wilson, a dentist, has come forward to reveal he was given the guitar to cover a bill. Bought for $60 (GBP30) in 1959 by the original Stones manager, DICk Hattrell, the guitar is now thought to be worth $500,000 (GBP250,000).
