Bob Dylan’s Sunburst Fender Stratocaster made rock history when he played it at the 1965 Newport folk festival. Almost 50 years later, the instrument made another “moment” at an auction in New Yorkon Friday when it sold for nearly $1 million – the highest price ever paid for a guitar at auction.
Christie’s auction house did not immediately identify the absentee buyer who agreed to pay $965,000 (£590,432) for the sunburst-finish guitar, Guardian informs.
