Rock-star guitars can bring huge bucks. One of Eddie Van Halen's sold just the other day:

An Eddie Van Halen guitar sells at auction for nearly $4 million
The guitar was played during the music video for "Hot for Teacher." If that seems like a a lot of money to spend on a guitar, included are a pair of white gloves and a strait jacket from the video.

"Around 1,500 items that once belonged to the late British rock star Freddie Mercury are going up for auction, including never-before-seen handwritten draft lyrics to "We Are the Champions," one of the band Queen's most famous songs. The objects are being offered for sale by Mary Austin, a close friend of Mercury, who inherited his estate."
