Jimi Hendrix Fender Stratocaster Guitar for Auction
Published July 26th, 2008
A Fender Stratocaster guitar set on fire by Jimi Hendrix during a live show at the Finsbury Astoria in London during 1967, is to be auctioned at the Idea Generation gallery in central London.
The famous guitar was thought to have been lost but had been taken by Hendrix’s press officer, Tony Garland, and stored in his parents’ garage in Hove, East Sussex. It was found there last year by Garland’s nephew, still showing burn marks.
The guitar is expected to fetch £1 million when it goes for auction on September 4.
