'Torched' Jimi Hendrix Guitar, Beatles' Record Contract Set For Auction

Jimi Hendrix's Fender Stratocaster, which he famously torched on stage in London, is to go under the malleus in London later.


The guitar, which was set alight during his gig in Finsbury Park in 1967, is expected to evoke �500,000.


It forms part of an panoptic auction of rock'n'roll memorabilia, which as well includes a drum kit belonging to the late Led Zeppelin sticksman John Bonham.


The only remaining fingerprints of Elvis Presley and the Beatles' first shrink will as well be sold at the It's More Than Rock and Roll memorabilia auction.


The auction will take post at the Idea Generation Gallery.
