Julien’s Auctions have announced a treasure trove of priceless music memorabilia set to be sold at MusiCares Charity Relief Auction.
A cellar of goods donated by artists, athletes and musicians are set to go under the hammer to benefit the charity — that aims to provide financial aid to artists and the music community in vulnerable times. The auction is set to take place on Wednesday, September 9 live in Beverly Hills and online at juliensauctions.com with advance online bidding kicking off next Monday, August 17th.
A Gibson SG Standard ’61 guitar in vintage cherry signed by Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin and Tony Iommi of Black Sabbath is set to go under the hammer. It’s been estimated that this gorgeous axe will sell from anywhere between USD $4,000-$6,000.
