Product Description

Eric Bell Miniature Guitar Replica By Axman


Before the classic twin guitar line up of Thin Lizzy evolved in 1973, the band had been a trio from it's formation in 1969. Eric Robin Bell was Lizzy's original lead guitarist and with Phil Lynott and Brian Downey recorded the band's first 3 albums and their first and biggest hit single, Whiskey In The Jar.

Eric Bell was born in Belfast in 1947 and in his teens he was cutting his musical teeth with showbands around his home city, including the last incarnation of Them to feature Van Morrison. It was around the time that he became bored with the showband format that he met Lynott and Downey and Thin Lizzy MK1 was born. He remained with Lizzy until New Year's Eve 1973 when he trashed his gear mid-concert, walked off stage and out of the band.

Bell himself admits that he is not entirely sure if the De Armond pickups on his guitar are humbuckers or single coils in humbucker sized covers. Debates rage on guitar geek forums about this very question, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer. One thing for sure is that the addition of these pickups in the bridge and neck positions (the original guitar single coil remains in the middle position) significantly altered the sound of his guitar and made his sound stand out from the crowd among other guitar players.

Eric Bell continues playing and recording with his own band and released his latest album only recently. He has been quoted as saying that Whiskey In The Jar has become a bit of a millstone around his neck, but he still continues to perform it at every opportunity and like it or not, it is the one song he will be forever remembered for.
