Eraserheads-signed guitar is up for auction to help Parokya Ni Edgar's Gab Chee Kee

An electric guitar signed by the Eraserheads has been put up for auction to help pay for the medical bills of Gab Chee Kee, Parokya Ni Edgar’s guitarist.

On Instagram, frontman Chito Miranda said that Gab was the one who introduced them to the band.

“Malamang alam naman ninyo na sobrang fans kami ng Eheads... lalo na si Gab (si Gab ang unang nagparinig sa amin ng Eheads nung 3rd year highschool kami)...at nasira na ang ulo namin sa kanila ever since!”

The vocalist added, “Sila talaga ang isa sa pinakamalaking dahilan kung bakit binuo namin ang Parokya.”

Chito said that Parokya was once the front act of the Eheads when they were starting out, and that the band continues to be their inspiration.

“Ngayon, nagbigay na naman sila ng panibagong dahilan kung bakit sila ang ultimate idol namin,” Chito said. “Maraming salamat, mga idol.”

“This is for Gab,” he added.

The D&D guitar was designed by Gab himself, and he chose the color because his favorite superhero is Green Lantern.

Bidding starts on February 4 and will continue for 10 days. The starting bid is P50,000.

Bids should be sent to parokyaniedgarofficial@gmail.com with the subject: [Bid para kay Gab]. The full instructions for the bidding are in Chito’s post.

According to Chito, Typecast also recently auctioned a signed D&D acoustic guitar for P50,000.

In an announcement last January, Chito said that Gab was hospitalized due to pneumonia, a complication brought on by his lymphoma. He was also transferred to an ICU and has been intubated for more than a week.
