![]() In addition to the trade, Petty also agreed to put on a charity concert with Harris to benefit the Midnight Mission, LA's premier homeless charity on Skid Row in Downtown LA. Harris gave Petty the Rickenbacker and Petty returned the signed 1965 Gibson, along with a hand-picked collection of stage-worn clothing. It came back into Harris's possession as part of a trade when Petty fell in love with a rare, Rose Morris Rickenbacker Double Bound 360 guitar featured in Harris' first book "Norman's Rare Guitars: 30 Years of Buying, Selling & Collecting," for which Petty wrote the introduction. Harris, a longtime personal friend of Petty, originally sold him the 1965 Gibson guitar decades ago. Petty's iconic top hat was most often worn during his time touring with The Traveling Wilburys and he is seen wearing it in music videos for "Handle with Care" and "End of the Line," as well as a 1989 MTV interview with remaining band members following bandmate Roy Orbison's death. The early 1965 Gibson SG Electric Guitar, serial number 2775535, features a cherry finish, pearloid inlay on face and headstock, and the signature "Tom Petty '88." Petty notably played the instrument with Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers while touring with Bob Dylan's "True Confessions Tour" in 1987.
