Expensive Guitar.

Most Expensive Guitar is a signed Fender Standard Series Stratocaster. It is worth $2.8 million. It was sold at an auction in Doha, Qatar, to aid victims of the 2004 tsunami disaster. It was bought one year ago by Qatar’s royal family for a million dollars and donated back to the Asia Program, bringing in $2.7 million USD at the more recent auction, whose attendees included Former President Bill Clinton. Technically, the guitar has generated a total of $3.7 million USD.




According to the Fender website, "the idea started when Fender Europe’s Jamie Crompton contacted Bryan Adams to see how people from the music industry could reach out to help the victims of such a devastating natural disaster. Bryan got his phone book out and rang nineteen of rock’s most treasured artists to sign a Standard Series Fender Stratocaster guitar, donated by Jamie and Fender Europe."

Artists who signed:

- Jimmy Page
