Ian Curtis' Vox Phantom Story
There is a story behind the model of this guitar used by Ian Curtis. After the vocalist's death, the object stayed with his bandmate Bernard Sumner. He later gave the guitar to Johnny Marr, when they both formed the duo Electronic. Fifteen years later, Marr returned it to Sumner, who delivered the Vox Phantom to Natalie Curtis, Ian's daughter, who now put it up for auction.
