cherry-red Gibson SG 6 with a double-cutaway, curvaceous, bodacious, chamfered mahogany Abody and signed by AC/DC’s duck-walking Angus Young now belongs to Gisborne man Shaun Kingi. Kingi won the Australian hard rocker’s weapon of choice in a competition run by The Rock radio station. “AC/DC had just released a new album, Power Up. If you heard the single Shot in the Dark you phoned in and were put in the draw. You could also enter by buying the album.” Kingi’s was one of about 60,000 entries. After entering the competition Kingi put it out of his mind. His Pit Stop workmates had other ideas. “One of the boys was saying ‘it’s your guitar’. I said ‘thanks for your positivity but stop saying that, I don’t want to jinx it’.” When the radio station called Kingi to say they were testing all entrants’ phones, the Gisborne man thought no more of it. Then Rock Drive show hosts Jay and Dunc phoned him back to announce live-on-air he had won Young’s LET THERE electric guitar. BE ROCK: “When they announced I was the winner I lost it. I was shocked, I was ecstatic, I couldn’t believe it. My Gisborne man workmates jumped up and down and said ‘we told you, Shaun Kingi bro’.” is rapt to Along with Young’s signature, the guitar comes with have won AC/ documentation that confirms its authenticity. DC guitarist In Gisborne for Christmas with family, the Rock’s Angus Young’s Roger Farrelly personally delivered the AC/DC guitar signed Gibson to a rapt Kingi at work. SG 6, which “I’ve had guitars in the past,” says Kingi. was delivered “It’s been a passion and now I’m inspired to get back to him by the into it. If I’m going to play Rock radio’s I want to be decent.” Roger Farrelly.

BACK IN BLACK: Dressed in a black school uniform, AC/ DC guitarist Angus Young plays a matching Gibson SG 6, but from the look on his face he wishes he hadn’t parted with his cherry-red Gibson, which now THE YOUNG belongs to Shaun Kingi of Gisborne. Pictures supplied ONES

SHAUN King is in good company. Along with AC/DC’s Angus Young, Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi, Cream-era Eric Clapton, Radiohead’s Thom Yorke, System of a Down’s Daron Malakian, and Pete Townshend of The Who are all associated with the Gibson SG. “The Angus Young SG’s body is made of solid mahogany, sculpted in a thin, flat- top profile with bevelled edges, and is lightweight while still delivering excellent resonance and sustain properties,” says a review in Gear Vault. “The black is scooped in the upper portion of the waist as well, allowing the guitar to fit snugly against your midsection and augmenting the guitar’s already slender, streamlined feel. “The neck is also solid mahogany with an ebony fingerboard sporting the aforementioned lighting bold (lightning bolt??) inlays and a cream-coloured binding that transition into impeccably dressed frets.” Young bought his first Gibson SG in Sydney in 1970. “Me and the SG go way back,” he told The New Zealand Herald. “I think it was the little horns, you know, the little devil horns. I’ve still got it and that’s still my favourite guitar of them all.” And now Shaun Kingi of Gisborne has it. 24 The Gisborne Herald • Thursday, January 7, 2021 ThisWeek

Ruby Sadler will compete in the 100 metres, 200m and 400m races. Over 1000 athletes, aged seven to 14, from 79 clubs will descend on Inglewood, just south of New Plymouth, for the 43rd annual North Island event. Last year the club sent four athletes to the games, but typically sent eight to 10 athletes to the competition, club chairman Brian Lee said. It had been hard to keep people engaged with the club in the Covid-19 environment. Officials were all volunteers, and operating within Covid-19 restrictions implemented by Athletics New Zealand was nearly impossible. “We just haven’t had the membership . . . it’s really disappointing.” The lack of permanent facilities meant many local high-performance athletes had to travel for the training needed to be RUBY SADLER HOPES HIGH: Wairoa Athletics Club members have high hopes for their Colgate competitive, Lee said.
