That is when Guernsey's auction house, on Dec.
2 at Bohemian Hall, will put up for sale guitars, saxophones,
session tapes and other music memorabilia associated with some
of the most famous musicians of the 20th century. The auction
follows Guernsey's sale of Jerry Garcia's "Wolf" guitar in May
for $1.9 million.
Included in the sale is a red, sticker-covered Guild guitar used
by Hendrix in 1968 at a Miami, Florida, hotel after a music
festival got rained out.
"He and other musicians and as many fans could pack into the
neighboring hotel jammed into there for what amounted to a jam
session, and this is the guitar he played," said Guernsey
president Arlan Ettinger.
Also up for auction is a 1953 "Goldtop" Gibson Les Paul used by
Paul McCartney as recently as 2012, according to Ettinger.
Bruce Springsteen's bass guitar that he used on his first album
will also be on sale, as well as a black Gibson Les Paul Madonna
used on tours in 2001 and 2008, when "she was going to come out
and show the world that she could play."
Master recordings of James Brown and Elvis Presley, and recorded
live performances of the Beatles, the Rolling Stones and others
will be included in the sale.
