ROLLING STONE guitarist RONNIE WOOD has shelled out £13,000 for a vintage guitar once played by legendary axeman JIMI HENDRIX for for his young girlfriend Ekaterina Ivanova. Eka is still a beginner and has been having lessons from Ron. But a source said she saw the guitar a few weeks ago and hasn’t stopped talking about it since.

A pal of Eka’s said: “She fell in love with the guitar before Christmas but rather than buying it while she was with him, Ronnie wanted to wait and surprise her.

“He loves to treat her with gifts and tokens of his affection. He has been spending a small fortune on her which she is more than happy to take.”

As if the guitar wasn’t enough, lovesick puppy Ronnie decided to put the icing on the cake by having both his and Eka’s initials inscribed on the instrument beside a soppy message he composed.

It reads: “Sweet as a daisy, sweet as a pearl, you’ll always be my little kitten.”
