Guitar collectors and connoisseurs

The Nick Lucas model is now one of the most highly-desired vintage Gibson acoustics - in Dylan’s day they could be bought cheap, but now $30,000+ is more like it…

…as for his Strat from the Newport Folk Festival - I don’t know where it is, but it would be more collectible to a Dylan head - he is not seen as a guitar hero the way the other players we’ve named. That’s not to say it wouldn’t be hugely valued - only that it would be so based on different criteria…

There’s a beautifully-photographed book of John Entwistle’s collection called Bass Culture .

Sadly, everything was sold off after his death. Link to the Sotheby’s catalog . His “Frankenstein” bass sold for £62,400.

Well, as Pete always said - no one lived the rock n’ roll lifestyle like the Ox; both he and Roger have stated that they did some of their tours to keep John in the lifestyle to which he had grown accustomed and that he was perpetually in debt…

…but he sure enjoyed that collection while it was his!
