Jimi Hendrix Guitar, Beatles' Contract Fetch Thousands At AuctionSeptember 5, 2008
 Jimi Hendrix's Fender Stratocaster, which he famously torched on stage in London, has fetched £280,000 at auction.
Hendrix torched the guitar, which had been expected to raise £500,000, during his gig in Finsbury Park in 1967. The guitar formed part of an extensive auction of rock'n'roll memorabilia, which also included a drum kit belonging to the late Led Zeppelin sticksman John Bonham. The first Beatles first management contract, signed by the whole group, was the second most popular item, raising £240,000. The auction at London's Idea Generation Gallery also saw the sale of the only remaining fingerprints of Elvis Presley. (by Jason Gregory) See also: |
