Very few guitarists are as easily recognizable as Slash. If you’re a fan of the man, you can own a piece of history and some of Slash’s possessions.
[ad#Google Adsense 300×250 in story]From his days with Guns N’ Roses to his solo career, Slash has continued to bring his unique style of music to millions of fans. The Julien’s auction is the first time any of Slash’s personal items will be sold publicly.
Among the guitars being auctioned is a custom Stravinski Fender Stratocaster (Est: $3,000-5,000), a B.C. Rich Red Mockingbird (Est: $2,000-4,000), and two versions of Slash’s Gibson and Epiphone Slash Les Paul signature model guitars in Tobacco Sunburst (Est: $4,000-6,000).
One of Slash’s stage worn Chrome Hearts leather top hats ($1,000-2,000) will also be on the block. There will be various custom Marc Vachon leather motorcycle jackets, including one decorated in a Velvet Revolver “Libertad” theme (Est $1,000-2,000), and performance worn t-shirts from all phases of Slash’s life and career (multiple lots, Est $600-800).
If you’re looking for something a little more expensive Slash’s 2007 Harley Davidson V-Rod VRSCAW Twin Racing Street Custom Cruiser (Est: $8,000-10,000) will be up for sale.
If four wheels are more your speed, his 1966 Corvette equipped with a big block 427 cubic inch V-8 engine with 435 horsepower, 4-speed manual transmission (Est: $90,000-$100,000) is going.
There will be a free public exhibition at Julien’s Auctions in Beverly Hills, California March 7 to March 25 from 10:00 am – 5:00 pm daily. The live auction takes place on Saturday, March 25, 2011.
