Rare Tom Petty Guitar Up For Auction

Heritage Auctions announced yesterday that on July 21st they will auction off a 1965 Gibson electric guitar played by Tom Petty during his 1986 tour with Bob Dylan. To sweeten the deal, one of the late rocker’s top hats will come with the guitar.

Some of the proceeds from the sale will benefit the charities: The Midnight Mission and the Tazzy Animal Rescue Fund.

Petty’s friend Norm Harris is selling the guitar and top hat as he runs a rare guitar shop. Fun fact: Harris originally sold the guitar to Petty, who returned it later for another rare instrument.
