Bid now for a truly one-of-a-kind historic item!

As "The Dead" descended on Washington to appear at the historic Mid-Atlantic Inauguration Ball, they signed a black Gibson Les Paul guitar on behalf of HeadCount, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that registered over 100,000 voters last year.

The guitar was signed by Phil Lesh, Bob Weir, Mickey Hart, and Allman Bros./Gov't Mule front man Warren Haynes, who has been a proud member of The Dead since the group toured America in 2004 (and has been playing a Gibson Les Paul on stage for many years longer). Marking this unique occasion, it was also signed by DC-Deadheads like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, President Barack Obama's transition team Co-Chair (and former White House Chief of Staff) John Podesta, and FCC Commissioner Jonathan Adelstein.

This one-of-a-kind, historic item comes with a case and the digital photos displayed here.
