Owning a Piece of Music History Is Not Cheap!

Want to own an Epiphone acoustic guitar that once belonged to Jimi Hendrix? Maybe a custom made “cloud” guitar owned by Prince? How about an iconic Gibson Flying V owned and played  by KK Downing from Judas Priest? Priest not your thing? How about the recording console used to make Led Zeppelin IV? Bonhams Auction House is a place to find everything your heart desires, but very little that your wallet can afford! But let’s face it, we all have those “if I had the money I would” fantasies, and for the classic rock nerd, Bonhams is like a candy store!
