Most Expensive Guitar in the World
“Blackie”, Eric Clapton’s favorite mid-career modified Strat has
been surpassed in value and is no longer the most expensive guitar ever,
despite that it was bought for $950,000 USD in 2004 by a guitar
archaeologist.
The latest most expensive electric guitar in the world dethroned its
predecessor at an auction in Doha, Qatar on November 16th, 2005. The
Strat was signed by several rock musicians to benefit a tsunami charity,
‘Reach out to Asia’. It was bought one year ago by Qatar’s royal family
for a million dollars and donated back to the Asia Program, bringing in
$2.7 million USD at the more recent auction, whose attendees included
Former President Bill Clinton. Technically, the guitar has generated a
total of $3.7 million USD, making it the most expensive guitar yet.
Signees of this expensive electric guitar included Mick Jagger, Keith
Richards, Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimmy Page, David Gilmour, Jeff
Beck, Pete Townsend, Mark Knopfler, Ray Davis, Liam Gallagher, Ronnie
Wood, Tony Iommi, Angus & Malcolm Young, Paul McCartney, Sting,
Ritchie Blackmore, Def Leppard, and Bryan Adams, the coordinator of the
project.
