A guitar owned by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page sold yesterday at an auction in London for $39,638.
The guitar is custom-made and inlaid with zodiac symbols and Page’s name.
Proceeds from its sale at Bonhams benefited the charity Action for Brazil’s Children Trust, of which Page is a patron.
The guitar achieved the highest price in a 402-lot auction of entertainment memorabilia. It was bought by a UK-based collector, said Bonhams.
An Internet bidder paid $6,000 for a lock of Mick Jagger’s hair. It had been kept by the grandmother of Chrissy Shrimpton, an ex-girlfriend of the Rolling Stone.
