The $450k Rosewood Telecaster 🎸

You can own one piece of music memorabilia at no cost – what are you choosing?
I have to go with the Rosewood Telecaster George Harrison played during the rooftop concert – the Beatles' final public performance.
Fender supposedly made the prototype guitar for Harrison, along with a Stratocaster version for Hendrix. The twist? Hendrix passed away before the Stratocaster could be delivered to him, so it faded into obscurity while the Rosewood Telecaster went on to become a coveted piece due to it becoming a staple in Harrison's axe arsenal.
The original telecaster sold at auction in 2003 for ~$450k. Fender has also released limited Custom Shop reproductions at ~$4k apiece.
