The very first guitar that Chris Martin bought before the Takamine Acoustic. He even wrote his hit songs with this guitar such as "Yellow" and "Trouble" (and yes, the song "Trouble" was actually first written and recorded on the guitar from their early demos).

The online article also quotes: "Martin took this guitar with him when he went to University College London in 1996 and met Jonny Buckland. The pair planned to form a band over the coming year, resulting in the formation of Coldplay.

Martin used this during the composition of many of Coldplay’s earliest songs, and during the recording of the No.1 album Parachutes."
