The estimates look ridiculously low.

Interesting, I can't imagine how much Christine's make.

150 bid incurs 40 quid buyers charge!

The Les Paul used on his "Blow By Blow" album seems sensibly guided.

And they also will be taking 10-20% from the seller!

I doubt that they will be charging the seller anything for sales such as this one ( single owner, high value ).

Some interesting gear up for auction, especially the amps and that cream Strat.
Apparently JB had 6 Klons at one time, 2 of them up for grabs here. Germanium tones - you still won't sound like him though.

Using a "come and get me" estimate is an old auction trick for things that don't have plenty of comparables.

If they’re anything like the estimates of the Mark Knopfler auction it’s simply based on the ‘normal’ price of equivalent gear.

That's a lot of Ibanezes {?} and not that many Gibsons, the 54 Les Paul seems too much and the 69 Telecaster bass somewhat too little.

Some of those lots raised serious money. Over £1m for a Les Paul.

Fenders were strong too, Ibanez less so.

£10k for a pair of ‘59 humbuckers!

To be fair, Oxblood is pretty up there as one of the more famous Lesters.

Pretty sure these weren’t bought by players, but as investments.

Otherwise there is no way the Jacksons would have sold for so much more than the Ibanez

Nearly 100k difference, just for it being the artist model prototype #1. Crikey.

Lot 64 custom shop Strat - wow and his pedalboard.
These will probably sit in a perspex case for evermore.
