$965,000 at auction. Most ever paid for a guitar.

I saw the show on PBS called History Detectives a couple weeks ago where they had it authenticated. That is a ton of loot for a guitar. That was such a big moment in rock history!

Can you believe the guitar was left on a plane. The pilot and his daughter had it for almost 50 years. They made attempts to return it with no luck. There was a settlement that was reached figures were not disclosed.
