Bon Jovi: Richie Sambora visits Marshall

Richie few in (literally) to Marshall Amps yesterday (6/21/10), and he brought a few people with him, Bobby Bandiera and the World's Greatest Amateur Porn Filmographer Obie O'brien.


Yesterday (Monday 21st) was an exciting day for Marshall, as we were honoured to have a very special guest visit us. Legendary Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora took a day out of his busy schedule while on tour in the UK and flew into Bletchley via private helicopter to pay us a visit!

Accompanied by second guitarist currently on tour with Bon Jovi, Bobby Bandiera, they enjoyed a tour of the factory and got the opportunity to try out a number of different amps right here in our on-site theatre. Richie purchased two 100 Watt 1959HW heads and two 1960 handwired cabinets. We also showed him a couple of prototypes of future units that he loved so much he wanted to buy there and then! Unfortunately being prototypes we were unable to sell them, but have allowed him to borrow them for the rest of the tour. You can check out Richie's brand new backline live at any one of their forthcoming shows. Check out our gig guide for full listings.

Check out pictures from yesterday in our latest album on our Myspace or Facebook profile. For more information about Bon Jovi go to their website www.bonjovi.com
