$40,000 Guitar Signed By JIMMY PAGE, BRIAN MAY
Vanishes
According to Dailymail.co.uk, a Fender Stratocaster guitar boasting
the signatures of Eric Clapton, Brian May, Jimmy Page and Bill
Wyman, among others, has vanished. The guitar disappeared last
month while in the care of Parcelforce en route from DIRE STRAITS
mainman Mark Knopfler's London office to music promoter Dave
Allen's home in Market Harborough, Leicestershire, England.
The guitar was due to fetch around £20,000 ($41,000) at auction for
a children's charity.
Yesterday Allen said he was "gutted" at the news as he contemplated
starting the year-long fundraising project again from
scratch.
