SOME EXPENSIVE MUSIC MEMORABILIA
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.
