Rory Gallagher auction.

Did anyone actually manage to get any of the Rory Gallagher items sold yesterday?
I assume an amount of it will be in bank vaults.

I was kinda hoping Kirk Hammett would buy it and use it on tour with Metallica.

Having seen the guitar in question up close, for anyone other than Rory Gallagher to play, it would require a serious deep clean. Luckily for me it was safely secured in a sealed display case.

 

Maybe the National Museum of Ireland are hoping to be able to use it to clone him when the technology is there?
