“There’s somethin’ lucky about this place,” according to Tom Petty. The late rock legend’s Malibu beach house, which inspired his song “Something Good Coming,” just hit the market for $9.85 million. The property includes the charming 2,200-square-foot main house, a separate guest house that Petty used as a recording studio, a spacious and secluded brick patio with a rose garden, and 66 feet of Escondido Beach frontage.
The California bungalow-style structure, which has three bedrooms and an equal number of baths, was built in 1950 and still retains a cozy midcentury cabin vibe throughout its wood-paneled interior, which the musician apparently appreciated. “Tommy loved that the beach house was pretty much all original,” his wife, Dana Petty said. “I remember him writing so many songs there.”

"When Tom first walked into the home, he just loved the essence and the spirit," says listing agent Chris Cortazzo of Compass. "He loved its originality — it was unpretentious which was very much his spirit. What a luxury for a massive celebrity to walk on the beach and not be bothered."

Gibson has announced of whole host of signature acoustic guitars – including models for Orianthi, Slash, Tom Petty and Noel Gallagher – alongside a number of new Historic and Modern offerings to existing ranges.
While details on the ground are scarce, here is what we know about the 2021 Gibson acoustic range.
Taking cue from what Gibson calls the “King of the Flat-Tops”, the former Alice Cooper and Michael Jackson guitarist's new signature is based on a standard SJ-200 model, which boasts a Super Jumbo body shape and captures the quintessential classy vibe that the original donned.
