Jimi Hendrix 1966 Fender Mustang Doesn't Sell
The auction results from Bonham & Butterfield's "The Collector's Auction" have been posted. While the suits worn by the Beatles on their first album cover (Please, Please Me) sold for $110,000 USD (Lot 6762), it appears that the 1966 Fender Mustang (Lot 6781) used by Hendrix in the recording of two albums didn't sell. What's not known is whether the guitar was withdrawn from the auction, no bids were made, or bidding failed to reach a reserve or minimum. View auction results. Original story.
