The Fender Stratocaster guitar used by Ireland and blues superstar Lorry · Gallagher, who passed away in 1995, will be auctioned at Bonhams on October 17. It is expected to fetch between £70 and £1 million.
The auction also includes other accessories used by Gallagher — 150 items, including a loudspeaker.
The guitar was purchased by Gallagher in 1963 for £100 and was used until his death. The guitar is in the custody of his brother and former manager Donal · Geller and the family of Gallagher.
