Neil Young is auctioning off some gear.  You have to go to page 125, or so, in the catalogue for the good stuff (unless you are in to model trains)

Woo! what a lot of clobber. 

BTW I think you mean page 125 or so ... flip backwards for trains, forwards for assorted cool shit...

I fancy the golf shoes!!!

Or maybe a Marshall stack...

Nice, esp if estimate proves accurate.

Looks like Marshall made a big part of that Fender Deluxe sound....lol.

There was the classic performance of Rockin' In The Free World on Saturday Night Live where he used Marshalls I seem to remember.

Some of the reserves are strange.  Harmonica for the same as a shirt and not much less than one of the Martins from 'Comes a Time'. Will be interesting to see where some of the prices go

There's some amazing stuff in there. And I thought I was a hoarder.

I see on page 76 he's actually selling off David Crosby. Cheaper than a six string banjo too. I'd bid, but I don't have the space for him at the moment.

Doesn't look quite right though

57Deluxe

he obviously ain't friends with Warner anymore then - p211

DesVegas

I'd quite like to by his cheeky smile

But -  WoW! if you could nab this within the estimate then this has to be the find in the catelogue...

I want that White Falcon, someone has already bid on it.

Yes but its not one of *the* White Falcons... he's keeping them, clearly.

If you've ever seen pics of his ranch, I would be surprised if this makes a big dent on his collection. Although it does look like he's cleared out his studio *a lot*...

It's still an amazing instrument.

Remember that first Clapton auction in 1999? Went with a friend to NYC who was mates with Lee Dickson, we were convinced that we were going to be able to buy something.....oh how we laughed. The reserves were reasonable, but then at auction things went crazy. I really wanted the one off Cunetto era Custom Shop Broadcaster Relic...estimate was $5-7k.....hammer price $21k....bugger. Still it was a great experience. Saw it for sale a few years later for $50k.
I'm guessing prices at this auction will be strong too.

I was there too! I took about £5k in travellers cheques thinking I might bid for and win the Giffin Strat, or something else. Iirc the cheapest items were the two Versace straps that went for $12k and $14k...

This maybe has a bit of added interest with the recent threads on the value of rock star owned equipment. 
I think the guy that bought the Gibson belonging to Alex Lifeson (Rush being the third biggest band in history, on at least one measure*) got a bargain.
