Guitar used by Vic Flick on original James Bond Theme to be auctioned
Written by WebmasterShare this post
The guitar used to create the most famous film theme in the world, The James Bond Theme, is to be auctioned on 16th December. The Clifford Essex Paragon De Luxe, manufactured around 1939, was purchased by its current owner, guitarist Vic Flick, in 1958.
Originally an acoustic instrument, it was later converted to an electric guitar on being fitted with a DeArmond pick-up, and was frequently used by Flick on his recordings with The John Barry Seven & Orchestra.
Flick used it in June and July of 1962 when the two original recordings of The James Bond Theme were made. The first of these was recorded at CTS Studios, Bayswater, London, and could be heard as the opening theme and throughout the very first Bond film, Dr. No, and the second at Abbey Road Studios, London, for a commercial release on EMI's Columbia label. The latter recording became a big hit for The John Barry Seven & Orchestra.
Bidding in a range of $30,000 to $50,000 is suggested but this historic guitar could be sold for a great deal more.
Profiles in History - Drama, Action, Romance: The Hollywood Auction, takes place on 15th & 16th December in California. On-line bidding is encouraged, see http://www.profilesinhistory.com/buyers/bid-online/ for more details.

Hello,
At Classic FM we're huge fans of film music, John Barry and in particular the sound and style of the iconic James Bond soundtracks. Great film music paints a scene and creates suspense in an unique and stylish way – and when it comes to Bond composers, especially John Barry, well, nobody does it better.
We've got a couple great, exclusive pieces about James Bond music…
On Friday we interviewed Skyfall Soundtrack composer Thomas Newman and Bond music great David Arnold. You can listen again to the interview here: http://www.classicfm.com/ composers/newman/news/ james-bond-celebration-music-00 7/
We've also created this stunning infographic showing 50 years of music for 007: http://promo.classicfm.co.uk/ misc/infographics/bond/ embed.html
We'd be delighted if you would share these with your fans and followers.
Best regards,
Kyle Macdonald
