Bob Marley Guitar Auction Surprise
December 15th, 2008 by Hannah
Bob Marley’s prized guitar was set to be auctioned off at Christie’s in November. According to the guy who claims ownership, it was a big surprise. Aston Barrett, the bassist and a founding member of Bob Marley and the Wailers, has filed a lawsuit alleging that Bob gave him the guitar in question back in 1979, two years before the iconic musician died. Barrett said in 2000 that he gave the guitar to Angus Reid for safekeeping. Barrett says he was shocked when he found out that Reid put the Yamaha SG-1000 up for auction at Christie’s. Barrett wants the priceless guitar returned to him along with $50,000 for the trouble.
