Julien's Auctions has said that one of Prince's custom "Cloud" guitars has sold for $700,000, following a lengthy bidding war.
The auction house claims that it is the highest price that has ever been paid for one of Prince's guitars.
According to the Associated Press[1], the auction house initially anticipated that the guitar would only sell for between $60,000 and $80,000. The buyer of the guitar was not identified.
The guitar—which Prince donated in 1994 to benefit Los Angeles earthquake relief—came with a letter of authenticity from luthier Andy Beech, who made the guitar for Prince.
