1/24/1992 Neil Diamond Autographed Guitar

A Musical Treasure: Neil Diamond’s Signed Guitar

An Unforgettable Concert Experience

In the vibrant city of Los Angeles, January 1992 marked a memorable evening for baseball legend Orel Hershiser and his friend as they attended a Neil Diamond concert. The night was filled with the enchanting melodies of one of music’s most iconic performers. After the show, Hershiser’s friend had the extraordinary opportunity to meet Neil Diamond backstage, where he acquired a remarkable piece of memorabilia—a guitar signed by Diamond himself on his birthday, January 24, 1992.

A Guitar with a Unique Story

This exquisite instrument, a “Yamaha” manufactured “FG-140” six-string guitar, is more than just a musical tool; it is a piece of history. The guitar, possibly used by Neil Diamond to warm up before his performance, carries the autograph and inscription in bold black marker, rated an 8 for its clarity and preservation. The guitar is in excellent condition, though it requires a string change to restore its full musical potential.
