One-of-a-kind Fender Stratocaster signed by Warren Buffett, George Soros, Peter Lynch, Bill Gross, Jim Rogers and Others
This white Fender Stratocaster guitar has been signed and dedicated with personal messages to Todd Harrison and Minyanville by the country’s biggest and most respected names in finance. After the guitar crisscrossed the country for two months being signed by people including Warren Buffett, Peter Lynch and Bill Gross, the Minyans presented the guitar to Todd Harrison, founder of Minyanville, to be auctioned for charity.
Congratulations to Minyan Brooks for the winning bid of $57,300 on eBay! Thank you for your contribution in helping the kids! Now that it has been signed by a list of financial luminaries (please see below), one manager described it as the Wall Street equivalent of a baseball bat autographed by the 1927 Yankees.
Special thanks to DHL which donated door-to-door service for the guitar as it traveled the country.
This collector's item is a powerful symbol of financial strength as it raised $3,000 for children's education! Congratulations to Minyan Stephen Haughey for the highest winning bid for this unique treasure.
