The guitar god, Eric Clapton, auctioned off 70 guitars with the proceeds going towards his favorite charity the Crossroads rehabilitation centre in the Caribbean.

The pre-auction estimates was much lower then the final total (21.5 m).

An instrument that was sold and caught my eye was Eric’s 1948 Gibson L-5P guitar! The final price was $82,000, it more then surpassed the $20,000 pre-auction estimate. Another big ticket guitar was a souped up signature Fender Stratocaster that brought them a nice $51,000.

The charity is definitely a worth while cause and that I am sure the money will be put to good use. Good on you Mr Eric Clapton!

Keep on Jammin’
