Gram Parsons' guitar sold for a ridiculous amount

Joachim Kettner · From: Germany

I was looking through Record Collector magazine today and there's an ad from Heritage Auctions, where they state that they finally sold a David Russell Young guitar once owned by Gram for 125,000.

This is a cover up of the instrument from Fretboard Journal:

I wonder which people are rich enough to buy it. Are they really G.P. fans or what else?

It will probably end up in a vault in storage. Many of the world's artworks have been bought as investments and will never be seen again. It's awful what the pursuit of money will do.
