Sworders has an excellent track record of selling items of 'pop' culture. The 13th Note is the sale that pulls together the diverse range of items that sit within this genre.
One of the progenitors of 'pop' culture is rock ‘n’ roll and, of course, the electric guitar. The players, the instruments and the songs are all things that still resonate today. Whether it’s on the radio, video, or in the flesh at a 'farewell' gig, in increasingly uncertain times the comfort and safety of nostalgia is a powerful and desirable force.
In recent sales we have sold a Jimmy Page 'played and signed' Gibson Les Paul for £29,000, a 1964 (two owners from new) Fender Stratocaster for £20,000, a copy of Exodus, signed by Bob Marley, for £3,900, and the appetite of our buyers doesn’t show signs of being sated.
Whether you’re interested in buying or selling, we would be delighted in hearing from you. It may only be rock ‘n’ roll, but we like it.
