Hey!

Good topic.

According to Sarah's Celebrity Website, Semie's personal guitar was a dark-blue Celebrity-styled Gospel. URL here:

Other than the logo on the headstock, it seems like a regular Celebrity to me. I love the color!!!

Does anyone else have any info on this jewel?

Yes, this will be an interesting discussion. I'll email Andy and ask him his thought on that. I'm guessing of all of the hollowbodies he chose the Gospel, but on the solid bodies, it's anyone's guess.
