Thanks to Chris Selby for these photos.

A strikingly accrurate replica of Dave Hill's 1973 fashion statement. This example will be much more playable than the original, custom made for Dave Hill by John Birch (which now belongs to guitarist Marco Pirroni).

Chris:
"In January 2026 I decided that I would like to own a tribute copy of Dave Hill from Slade's world-famous "Super Yob" guitar. After some research I came to the conclusion Bonny Wood Guitars would be the best people for the job.
