Mark Knopfler's guitars were also sold at auction earlier this year, the most expensive of which was a vintage 59 Les Paul, which sold for £550k, but a £143k buyer's fee was added.
A celebration of the ultimate guitarist's guitar hero, Christie's is honored to present Jeff Beck: The Guitar Collection, a live auction on January 22, 2025 in London. Spanning his almost six-decades-long career, from joining THE YARDBIRDS in 1965 to his last tour in 2022, this unique auction presents over 130 guitars, amps, pedals, cases and "tools of the trade" used by the late, great guitar legend Jeff Beck (1944–2023).
