The greatest guitar collection on earth

It is happening this spring. The greatest guitar collection on earth is going to be sold at auction. Just to be specific, there will be guitars owned and played by Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Jerry Garcia, Bob Dylan, Eddie Van Halen, Eric Clapton, Bo Diddley, Janis Joplin, David Gilmour, Sir Elton John, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Jim Morrison, John Lennon, Ringo Star and Kurt Cobain.

They all belonged to the late Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts.

Oddly, he never called himself the owner of these and other amazing historical objects. He always referred to himself as the steward of his billion dollar collection. He put them in traveling exhibits to share instead of dark vaults like Scrooge McDuck.


Much of the proceeds will go to his favorite charities.


Every Guitar Has A Story. These guitars are ready for their next chapter.
