How much would you pay for a piece of rock n’ roll history? A Japanese sunburst guitar, owned by legend Jimi Hendrix, just sold for $216,000 at an auction over the weekend. You can see pictures of the guitar here. Originally estimated at $50,000 in value, the guitar is quite special as it was owned and played by Hendrix before he became an international superstar, and cemented his place in rock n’ roll history. Historians believe Jimi played it between 1962 – 1966, which is after being discharged from the Army, but before he moved to London in 1966. Check out the full story here.
