1958 Gibson Flying V sells for over $100,000 at UK guitar auction on Tuesday September 5th 2023 in Bath, England in the UK! The hammer price was £65,000 British Pounds Sterling with a 26.4% buyer's fee including VAT added on top, meaning that when converted to US Dollars, this heavily modified 1958 Gibson Flying V sold for over $103,000! Is this the most expensive guitar in the world? Highest price guitar to sell at auction? This is probably the highest price for a heavily modified Gibson Flying V ever. It was sold at Gardiner Houlgate Guitar Auctions by auctioneer Luke Hobbs.
What would you value this legendary vintage guitar at? As a guitarist or a guitar collector, what would you be prepared to spend if money was no object?

The hammer price was £65,000 plus 26.4% buyer's premium and VAT on that premium bringing the price to over $103,500 based on the currency exchange rate on the day between the British Pound Sterling and the US Dollar. A six figure sale on this guitar is impressive. Looks like it is going to France. Well done to Luke Hobbs and the team at Gardiner Houlgate.

Someone now owns a piece of history, congratulations to them! I think that guitar is worth that price and more it's irreplaceable and should be in the hands of someone who appreciates it's value enough to pay the premium!

The holy grail is a 58 Explorer, one of which was sold for over $1m (I know someone who actually owns one). As for this guitar? Well, it's a hell of a lot cheaper than an unmolested 58 V.

Yeah man, the early Explorer and V guitars are crazy money even with no celebrity provenance. How did your guy get his '58 Gibson Explorer???

@davidyates8880 Год назад

@@EssexRecordingStudios he's had it since the very early 80s. He's an uber collector, he's got a 58 V,, which was Keith Richards, one of Hendrix's Strats and I think six bursts among many other amazing guitars.

@@davidyates8880 Is he also an artist? What country is he in? Sounds like a wild collection

@@EssexRecordingStudios he's a jeweller in the UK. If you look up Guitar EXP on google it will give you a link to a book of his collection, you should also find a short video on the link. I met him when he worked at the Great Frog in the early 80s, we talked a lot about Jackson's, as I had a couple and he had a great collection of Jacksons and Charvel's, which I'm sure he still most likely has. His James Gang Charvel was epic, I was very jealous of that one.
