Celebrity memorabilia has always attracted deep-pocketed buyers, but nothing seems to set the auction house paddles flapping like a rock star guitar. In the last few years we’ve seen numerous iconic instruments come up for sale and smash records left, right and centre – and when you consider that most of these guitars are already rare vintage instruments that would sell for huge sums even without their famous former owners, perhaps that’s to be expected.

但是，有史以来最昂贵的吉他是什么，什么使它们如此特别？阅读并找出。
Jimi Hendrix的1968年Fender Stratocaster - $ 2,000,000
如果您曾经参观西雅图，那么去城市的流行文化博物馆旅行非常值得您花时间 - 因为在这里您会发现标志性的白色StratocasterJimi Hendrixused during his performance at Woodstock. The guitar in question was purchased by Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, who purchased it for a cool $2 million. Allen, who died in 2018, was a keen guitarist and collector – no less than Quincy Jones said that Allen could play “just like” Jimi, who had inspired him, like so many others, to play guitar in the first place.
While Allen understandably wanted to have a go on the guitar used for perhaps the most iconic moment in rock guitar history, his reason for buying it was seemingly more altruistic – the guitar held a special significance to him, as it had inspired his lifelong love affair with guitar, and as such he purchased it so that it could be displayed at MoPOP so that everyone could see it, and hopefully be inspired as he had been. Far more than a hunk of wood and metal, Allen was buying a physical representation of Jimi’s legacy and laying it out for the world to see and experience.
还有其他几把吉他售出了近200万美元的商标 -Peter Green’s1959年莱斯·保罗标准，现在由柯克·哈米特（Kirk Hammett），以及由著名的Luthier Doug Irwin建造的杰里·加西亚（Jerry Garcia）的狼吉他。
约翰列侬’s 1962 Gibson J-160E – $2,400,000
1962年9月10日披头士乐队manager Brian Epstein went to Rushworth’s Music House in Liverpool and purchased a pair of nearly identical brand new吉布森J-160E acoustic guitars for约翰列侬和乔治·哈里森在乐队中使用，以161.05英镑的价格（约3,600英镑/5,000美元的今天的钱）。
两把吉他将继续被他们的新主人使用，以表现出标志性的热门歌曲，例如她爱你,我看见她站在那里和我想握住你的手. But then in 1963, Lennon’s guitar vanished, and would not been seen or heard from again until 2014 when it was found to be in the possession of John McCaw, who had bought the guitar for just $175 in 1969 from a guy named Tommy Pressley, who had bought it from a music store in San Diego two years prior. The guitar’s abduction was covered by the The Beatles Monthly.
“到芬斯伯里公园秀时代，甲壳虫吉他的总集合已经成长，但约翰和Paul仍在更衣室里使用他们的吉布森·乔博斯（Gibson Jumbos）。如果在表演过程中串起琴弦，他们就在那里作为备用替代品。约翰回忆说：“乔治和我经常带我们带回家，”所以直到赛季结束时，没人注意到一个人失踪。一两个星期之后，我问Mal [Evans，Guitar Tech]，他把我的巨型放在哪里。直到那时，我们才意识到吉他已经在Finsbury Park捏了。不，我从来没有回来。”
吉他于2015年拍卖，并以80万美元的估计销售给匿名买家，价格高达210万美元。根据拍卖，一半的收益捐给了Spirit Foundation，这是一个慈善组织，John和Yoko Ono在他去世之前成立。
与亚洲Stratocaster联系 - $ 2,700,000
This guitar remains something of an outlier among the guitars in this list in that it’s not a guitar that was owned by a famous musician, or one that was used on any classic recordings – it’s simply a stock, then brand new挡泥板Stratocaster吉他。当然，吉他是由一个名副其实的音乐家签名的吉他 -David Gilmour, Mick Jagger,基思·理查兹,埃里克·克莱普顿,吉米·佩奇（Jimmy Page）,皮特·汤申德（Pete Townshend）,杰夫·贝克，还有很多。
吉他是该吉他在2005年被慈善机构伸出援手向亚洲拍卖的土地之一，该组织旨在为2004年印度洋地震和海啸受害者提供援助和支持，造成超过200,000人丧生，并流离失所1.7。百万主要在印度尼西亚，泰国和印度的沿海地区。
The guitar was purchased at the auction in Qatar by Sheikha Al-Mayassa, a member of the Qatari royal family, who also happened to be the founder of the Reach Out To Asia Foundation. The $2.7 million sum paid for the guitar smashed the record held by Clapton’s Blackie Strat, which had sold for just shy of $1 million, and would remain the most expensive guitar ever sold for over a decade.
奇怪的是，这样的“不明显”的吉他会这么大，但这无疑是一个独特的物品，而Sheikha al-Mayassa并不陌生，因为他们在拍卖会上丢了大笔款项。她担任卡塔尔博物馆主席，据信她曾经购买了有史以来两幅最昂贵的画你什么时候结婚？和保罗·塞尚的卡机- 分别以$ 229,000,000和288,000,000美元的价格售出。这些是由卡塔尔州购买的，有传言称，夏伊卡将每年的收购预算为10亿美元，但据信她以自己的钱购买了向亚洲Strat的覆盖范围，这当然是一个很好的事业。
大卫·吉尔默（David Gilmour）的黑色策略 - $ 3,975,000
戴维·吉尔默（David Gilmour）著名的杂种黑色Strat不仅是有史以来最昂贵的吉他之一，而且还是最令人惊讶的吉他之一。自从吉他手首次在1970年的巴斯节上舞台上使用它以来，黑色的策略不仅是吉尔穆尔拥有和演奏的乐器，它是其声音身份不可或缺的一部分。
这款1969年的Sunburst模特在纽约从著名的曼尼音乐中购买，在进入吉尔莫尔的护理之前，用黑色修补了，但是在接下来的几十年中，它经过了重大修改，随着乐器的发展而演变为平克·弗洛伊德（乐队名吉尔莫（Gilmour）在音乐上演变。多年来，吉他的脖子有各种脖子，将其杰克铅换成XLR，在中间位置上有PAF，将其桥梁拾音器换成Dimarzio和Seymour Duncan单位，甚至在某一时刻都有Kahler Trem。
The guitar was a constant companion between 1970 and 1986, being used by Gilmour on many of Pink Floyd’s most iconic moments, and was brought out of retirement to be used for Floyd’s one-off reunion gig at Live 8. All of which made it more shocking when the guitar, along with a huge swathe of his instrument collection, (including Gilmour’s other iconic Strat, #0001) went up for auction in 2019, with the proceeds from the sale going to ClientEarth, an organization that funds attorneys and other experts to fight climate change.
拍卖总共赚了2150万美元，但毫不奇怪the Black Strat fetched the biggest sum- 吉他只剩下400万美元的价格，将粉碎到亚洲Strat的纪录中。吉他是吉姆·艾尔赛（Jim Irsay）购买的, the billionaire owner of the Indianapolis Colts and passionate guitarist and music memorabilia collector. In addition to the Black Strat, Irsay owns instruments owned by Jerry Garcia, Les Paul,Elvis Presley,Bob Dylan,王子和所有四个甲壳虫乐队。黑色的策略甚至不是当天唯一购买的吉他Irsay - 他还购买了Gilmour的’69MartinD-35使用欢迎来到机器和希望你在这里，价格为1,095,000美元。
Kurt Cobain的Martin D18E - $ 6,010,000
涅rvMTV Unplugged performance remains one of the most iconic and poignant moment in Nirvana’s short but unbelievably important career, and the guitar库尔特·科本（Kurt Cobain）用于这种特殊表演本身就是一种罕见且不寻常的乐器 - 马丁1959 D-18E。据信，吉他是当年仅302人中的第7吉他，并且经过了重大修改。
“The D-18E’s spruce top was weighed down by a trio of volume and tone potentiometers, a toggle switch and aBartolini声孔拾音器安装在1950年代的一对巨大的[股票]迪尔蒙德·迪纳森拾音器（Dearmond Dynasonic Pickups）之间 - 最终被绕过了改造Bartolini。”总吉他.
库尔特（KurtEpiphone在演出之前，他一直在巡回演出。那个1960/61吉他上面贴着“尼克松”的贴纸，可以在库尔特后面的看台上的拔空表演中看到，作为备用。那他为什么不使用德克萨斯人呢？贝利在接受采访时告诉这位作家终极吉他。
“他想要马丁的声学，很高兴能够在1993年负担得起。我相信库尔特喜欢D-18E，因为马丁声学对马丁是如此奇怪和独特。他是否认为它是否可以轻松地与他的现场旅行设置一起使用，但添加了第三个也是更兼容的磁性声孔拾音器，以使其与他使用的青铜伤的声弦有用。I’m guessing the visual statement behind playing a Martin with an absurd array of electronics mounted to the top, was his reasoning behind choosing it for Unplugged, considering the Epiphone Texas was a fantastic sounding guitar, while the D-18E was at the other end of the sonic spectrum.”
吉他将于2020年6月举行拍卖，由库尔特（Kurt）女儿弗朗西斯（Frances）的前夫出售。吉他预计将带来大约100万美元，但它砸碎了所有期望，selling to Australian businessman Peter Freedman, owner of Rode Microphones for over $6 million– smashing the record set by the Black Strat the year before. Rode has stated that he’ll be touring it around galleries and art spaces, with the proceeds from the tour going to supporting the performing arts.
