Below are the top 3 most expensive guitars ever sold:

This is the most expensive guitar ever to appear at auction and it was sold with the purpose of raising money to help the victims of the 2004 tsunami disaster in the Indian Ocean. The Strat was signed by 19 world famous rock stars, including Bryan Adams, who spearheaded this remarkable project.
