Everybody here wants you – Jeff Buckley documentary

We recently stumbled across this great documentary, Everybody Here Wants You, about the life of Jeff Buckley. It was made by BBC.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1pO9d1uPJc

Born in Anaheim, California, Jeff Buckley was raised around music, his mother being a professional cellist and pianist.
He was introduced to bands such as Queen and Led Zeppelin by his stepfather. At age 12 he decided to become a musician and he received his first professional guitar. He spent years afterwards playing many styles in different bands until he was contacted by his father’s former manager with an offer to help him record his first demo of original songs. Thus he recorded his only studio album: Grace.

The next 2 years he toured to promote his album and in 1996 he stopped at some point, planning to record his second album. The album was never finished as he died on the 29th of May 1997, drowning in Wolf Rive Harbour after a spontaneous swim.

Vintage & Rare had the opportunity of making a transaction possible together with Chelsea Guitars, for Jeff Buckley’s Fender Telecaster from 1983, so this documentary means a lot to us, especially because that guitar is featured in it.
Here is a Video about the guitar:

Jeff Buckley Fender Telecaster 1983 For Sale

We are very happy yet a little sad that we now have the honor and privilege of selling Jeff Buckley’s Fender Telecaster 1983.
This Fender Telecaster 1983 was one of Jeff Buckley’s main guitars and he used it throughout his short performing and recording life.
Jeff Buckley was voted the 43rd best singer of all time by the Rolling Stone Magazine.

Jeff Buckley (1966-1997) grew up in California and in 1997 he moved to Tennessee. In Memphis he sadly ended his life, way too soon (at age 30), in a tragic drowning accident while he was waiting for his band members to fly in from New York.
Buckley published his first album “Grace” in 1994 where he among other cover songs made Leonard Cohen’s song “Hallelujah” legendary. He toured both in The States, Europe, Asia and Australia with “Grace” and won several awards for the album.
After finishing his tour in 1996, his second album “My Sweetheart the Drunk” started to take form. In 1997 he moved to Memphis where he went back into the studio to start recording. A three week rehearsal was planned. On May the 29th 1997, while waiting for the band to arrive, Buckley went for a swim – fully dressed – in the Wolf River. He had gone swimming there many times before but this time he did not return from his swim. He was caught in the wake of a passing boat.

Despite of his short career many of his critics have called him the most remarkable musical artist of his generation and even today he is a great source of inspiration to musicians all over the world. We are very honored to have this legendary singer-songwriter’s guitar up for sale and exited about the huge interest the Telecaster has already received.
