Bob Dylan’s guitar sells for $965,000

NEW YORK

The guitar that Bob Dylan plugged in when he famously went electric at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival sold at auction Friday for a record $965,000.

Christie’s auction house did not immediately identify the absentee buyer of the sunburst Fender Stratocaster.SFlbThe instrument went for the highest price ever paid for a guitar at auction, Christie’s said.

The festival performance cemented Dylan’s move from acoustic folk to electric rock ’n’ roll. Now viewed as a defining moment that irrevocably changed American music, the raucous, three-song electric set at the Rhode Island festival was met with boos from some in the crowd, and folk purists saw Dylan as a traitor and a sellout.
