Nile Rodgers Sells His Teles and Those Other Fender Guitars

[t-ray]

Christie's is currently auctioning off a large collection of Niles' guitars, including a 1954 Tele that went for $93,750, and a 1958 that went for $87,500. Also Gibsons and other brands. Interesting that the Fenders were first up. Thought you guys might find this interesting.

Some of those guitars went for serious money. Great for the charity.

The two John D’Angelico guitars were relative bargains.

Which albums does he play the Tele on?

I can't tell from the pictures 100% but it looks like the prototypes of his sig guitar are all hardtails? Makes sense I can't think of ever hearing him use the tremolo arm... but it also makes me wonder what's on the "Hitmaker".

I’ll take that 12 channel Neve mixer for Christmas if anymore is asking.

The hit maker is a hardtail. 60 body 59 neck.
The black strat that went for 150k was also played by SRV on family style and Let's Dance

So there IS justification for hoarding! Thank goodness.
