Sorry if this was already discussed- ) It seems that the 6 black MK II's all had, or still have, famous original owners. Coincidence? Were these not available to the average Joe?
Hi Jim,
 
Here's who had 'em......as far as we know: John Lennon, Pink Floyd(previously Judie Tzuck's dad's), Princess Margaret, Graham Nash, The Alma Tavern, London (and then to Jon Lord) and a recording studio but can't remember which.  Justin Hayward and John Lodge have one that they used with Blue Jays but we think it may have been Princess Margaret's although it may be one other, making seven in total.  The good thing is we know where six of them are.
 
This is either tedious or interesting,
 
Best,
 
Martin
