Jimi Hendrix’s Epiphone FT-79 Sells For $258,000 at Auction
In 1967, Jimi Hendrix purchased a second-hand 1951 Epiphone FT-79 acoustic for the paltry sum of $25. Fast forward 50 years and that very same guitar has just sold at Bonhams auctioneers for $258,000 – over 10’000 times the original value.
