Hendrix guitar fetches 168K
(2006-12-05)
(WCPN) - A Jimi Hendrix guitar that's been kept at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame since the museum's opening hit the auction block yesterday.

The instrument, modified to accommodate the left-handed musician, sold for $168,000, well above its pre-sale estimate.

Other items included Paul McCartney's original handwritten working lyrics for the 1968 Beatles song "Maxwell's Silver Hammer." That sold for $192,000.
