Such expensive guitars can create history and the following guitars have done so for being expensive and deadly one. How about catching up the list of the most expensive guitars as under:

Fender “Reach Out to Asia” Stratocaster

This guitar is among the one that is not pre-owned by anyone but was, however, signed by many. These include the veteran musicians like Mick Jagger, Bryan Adams, Eric Clapton, and Paul McCartney to name a few apart from the fifteen other rock stars that have signed over it. This has, therefore, made the guitar not just valuable item but on the top of demand.  The money raised was used to support the victims of the Tsunami in Asia in 2004. It was created and sold for € 17,000 but was auctioned for € 2.3 million to emerge as the most expensive guitars on this earth.

It was used in different concerts, including the one called Roadie’s band in 1963, while later in 1967 it has two owners – Tommy Pressley and John McCaw who sold it at the cost of €145 and 2 million euros respectively.

Jimi Hendrix’ Fender Stratocaster

The next expensive guitar in this list is Jimi Hendrix’ Fender Stratocaster, which values around €1.67 Million. Earlier it was not that special or expensive until the owner Jimi Hendrix decided to make it. He converted the right-handed Start into a left-handed thus created history with his rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’. However, this guitar was lost mysteriously for a few years and finally came out when Microsoft’s Paul Allen got the same at the whopping cost of €1.67 million.
