The 6 most expensive guitars in the world
The guitar, that instrument with Spanish ancestors, has been popularized by the explosion of pop / rock music in the twentieth century. Today it is the best selling instrument and, although surely you have a guitar at home or know someone who practices with those six strings, you will be surprised by the prices of the six most expensive guitars in the world.
- Gibson ES 335
Eric Clapton himself used this guitar during his years at Bluesbreakers, Yardbirds, Cream and Blind Faith. Now it has a value of 847,000 dollars.
- Fender Stratocaster
We repeat the model and brand, we change owners. In this case it was Eric Clapton who used this guitar (nicknamed Blackie) for 15 years. After that it sold for $ 959,000.
- Washburn Custom
Made to measure for Bob Marley in 1979. He ended up giving it to one of his technicians and its price today is 1.2 million dollars.
- Fender Stratocaster
Same brand and same model as the first. Of course, much more affordable price. For belonging to one Jimi Hendrix , who used it at the 1969 Woodstock festival, has a price of "only" 2 million dollars.
- 1962 Gibson J-160E
It belonged to John Lennon and had a peculiar history. He was lost on a tour with the Beatles and then found in a US store, bought by a private individual. It was finally auctioned for $ 2.41 million, an amount shared with Yoko Ono who donated it to The Spirit Foundation.
- Fender Stratocaster .
Although it is a classic model of the American brand, its value is given by the multitude of firms that decorate it, among others: Eric Clapton , Keith Richards or Brian May . It was auctioned for 2.7 million dollars and the cause to which the money was destined were the victims of the 2004 tsunami.
If anyone is starting to play the guitar, look for a Spanish woman of about 30 or 40 euros. That will be more than enough. With a few years of virtuosity you can auction it to try to enter this list, which if anything shows, is that the Indian is more important than the arrow.
