Former Metallica bassist Jason Newsted will be selling more than sixty electric, bass, and more guitars on Reverb. The Official Jason Newsted Reverb Shop will launch on July 24, featuring a selection of stunning vintage guitars, several one-of-one items-including guitars hand-painted by Newsted-and more unique pieces used throughout the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer's illustrious career.
"I'm teaming up with Reverb to sell some pieces from my collection for the very first time. The last 30 or 40 years as I've traveled around playing music for people, I've gathered some cool sh*t," Newsted said. "I traveled the world to collect these pieces and many of these pieces have traveled the world with me. I'd like to get them into the hands of other players because I can only play so many at once, and wonderful guitars such as these should not live in cases forever...they deserve to be enjoyed!"
