SOME EXPENSIVE MUSIC MEMORABILIA

Pink Floyd Ilustrado: David Gilmour · Prog Magazine 2019-03
David Jon Gilmour (78)

Music memorabilia has always been popular with collectors,
and there have been several items with truly extraordinary
price tags.

According to Guitar World, a 1954 Fender Stratocaster owned
by David Gilmour of Pink Floyd sold for $1.8 million at a 2019
Christie’s auction, while one owned by Jerry Garcia of the
Grateful Dead sold for $1.9 million in 2017.

Famous guitars associated with a single iconic musical
performance have fetched huge prices at auction houses.

The biggest by far is the Martin D-18E acoustic played by
Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain at the band’s “MTV Unplugged”
performance, which sold in 2020 for more than $6 million,
making it the most expensive guitar ever sold.
