GOSH - Macca’s Giant Guitar Sells for $120,000

The Uncut magazine website reports that Paul McCartney’s signed giant Gibson guitar raised £60,000 ($120,000) for charity at an auction on November 20. The Gibson GuitarTown auction was held at London’s IndigO2 venue. McCartney’s 10ft tall hand-painted Gibson Les Paul replica was designed by visual artist Rosie Brooks.

McCartney said: “I’m really amazed and very happy that the guitar went for so much and for such a great cause.” The successful bidder has announced he will donate the McCartney guitar to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London in December.
