Fake or Fortune fans all spot same issue over Ronnie Wood guitar claim
BBC Fake or Fortune fans couldn’t help but ask the same question after an alleged Ronnie Wood guitar was “saved from a skip”. Fake or Fortune returned this evening, Wednesday, August 26, where presenter Fiona Bruce and art dealer and historian Philip Mould looked into the backstory of two fascinating instruments.
TL;DR
- BBC's 'Fake or Fortune' featured an investigation into a guitar allegedly belonging to Ronnie Wood.
- The guitar was reportedly saved from a skip when The Rolling Stones vacated their house, 'The Wick', in the early 1970s.
- Viewers on X questioned why the show did not directly ask Ronnie Wood or Keith Richards about the guitar's authenticity.
- Presenters were unable to contact Ronnie Wood or Keith Richards directly due to their rehearsal schedule for an American tour.
- Ronnie Wood's manager, who also confirmed Ronnie had no memory of the guitar, was contacted instead.
- The manager suggested the guitar might have belonged to a visitor, as instruments were sometimes left behind.
- Further research failed to provide evidence of the guitar's owner.
