A piece of rock n’ roll music history is now up for sale as a classic guitar used by a young Jimi Hendrix has gone on the market for $1.25 million.
The legendary performer’s 1961 Epiphone Wilshire guitar is up for auction more than 60 decades after he acquired it.
Long before he rocked the crowds at Woodstock or wowed with his “electric solo” on The Star-Spangled Banner, he played his first tunes on the iconic Wilshire, one of the first guitars he ever owned.
