jimjimbo Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Pretty incredible. And, he's donating all of it to a climate change action organization. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool to see him do it while he is still alive versus sitting in his house(s) for years and selling off after he is dead. Bravo! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceptorman Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Can you imagine all the sessions some of those guitars had seen? I hope he kept a few for himself, I wonder if this means he might be finished performing? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 The instrument he used on The Dark Side Of The Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals and The Wall, carried an estimate of $100,000 - $150,000, but it broke a new world record for a guitar at auction, selling for an incredible $3,975,000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he can play he will. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What they should do is re action them and give the money to other charities. Then rinse and repeat. Anyone buying a 4mill guitar can afford it. If they did this (all these big actions) can you imagine all the money that would raise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
