The guitar, which belonged to the famous musician Jimi Hendrix, was put up for auction at a price of 1 million 250 thousand dollars, writes the Daily Mail.
With a mahogany-bodied 1961 Epiphone Wilshire guitar, Hendrix has been a member of Johnny Jones & The King Casuals since 1961. In those days, it cost only 65 dollars. For many years the guitar was in a private collection.
Jimi Hendrix is an internationally recognized guitar virtuoso, named in 2009 by Time magazine as the greatest guitarist of all time. Creating his works in the styles of blues-rock, psychedelic rock, hard rock, he discovered many new techniques for playing the electric guitar and the possibilities of the sound of the instrument.
