Gary Busey paid $275,000.00 for Buddy Holly's 1943 Gibson J-45...in 1990. That was, at the time, the highest price paid for any acoustic guitar that I know of. At that time, pre-war D-45's were in the low to mid $100,000.00 range.

There are several, actually. One, the Rawlins, at the National Music Museum in Vermillion, South Dakota,
One, part of the Hill collection at the Ashmolean in Oxford, England, , Another, the Vuillaume, at the Musee' de la Musique, in Paris, has had its authenticity called into question another, the, Giustiniani, in a private Italian connection. A fifth, the Sabionari, is also ascribed to a private collection in Italy.

There was recent sale on eBay (last few years) of one of the 16 "M" series guitars that were produced in the 1930s that Roy Rogers played. It wasn't the actual one that he played, just one of that batch of 16, and it went for $3,750,000.

The July, 2009 issue of The Sounding Board, put out by Martin, states that Roy Rogers 1930 OM-45 Deluxe sold at Christies Auction for $554,500.00. It also said that Rogers bought it used from a pawn shop for $30.00 in 1933. Quite a markup. (Sorry, TJ, I didn't see your post before I put mine up.) Hmmm....two different prices from two different sources......anyway, it went for more money than I have!

Adjusting for inflation, and considering average wages at the time, Gene Autry's original D-45 might make it. For collectors items, the handful of pre-war D-45's are pushing $1 mil per.

The difference above might be between the top bid and the amount paid (which would include commission, etc).

Clapton's '39 000-42 Martin went for $791,500.00 at Christies in '04...
I believe CF Martin also purchased a Pre-War D-45 for over a Million or so to put in their museum... |

I can't even imagine $1M for a pre-war D-45! Call me sheltered. Call me naive. Call me astounded! |

I wonder what the multi-necked Pikasso guitar built by Linda Manzer for Pat Metheny originally cost?
