When The Bee Gees was first starting out, Maurice would occasionally play this offset, Eko Cobra XII string electric guitar up until 1967 when they move to England to pursue their music career. This guitar is an offset brand and is considered a cheap purchase in the 60s, and Maurice had either purchased it or received it as a trade and he performed with it during several TV appearances. Some earlier songs that he is seen performing with the guitar include Wine and Women, and I Was A Lover A Leader Of Men in 1965, and Spicks and Specks in 1966. The whereabouts of this electric guitar was and is still unknown, as it is a cheap purchase, when The Bee Gees became famous, it was either still kept in Maurice's collection at the time, or was sold/traded.
