An acoustic guitar played by Noel Gallagher at Oasis’s 1996 MTV Unplugged gig, and signed by him, has sold at auction for \u00a3226,800 setting a “world record”. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Hertfordshire-based Propstore said it was the “highest price achieved at auction for an Oasis acoustic guitar”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It also sold a Yamaha C3 Grand Piano, for \u00a381,900 which was used by Freddie Mercury to compose Crazy Little Thing Called Love. It was expected to sell for at least \u00a3200,000. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On the first day of its Music Live Auction on Thursday, the highest-selling lot was a notebook by the Queen frontman which contained handwritten working lyrics and notes from the Mr. Bad Guy recording sessions. It sold for \u00a3277,200.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Mark Hochman, the company’s music specialist, said: “Setting a world record with Noel Gallagher’s MTV Unplugged guitar is a fantastic result and a testament to the lasting connection fans have with Oasis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“These results show how much collectors value pieces with a personal connection to the artists and their music.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The auction included lots from the collection of German Producer Reinhold Mack, who worked with Queen on several albums in the 1980s. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The sale of Mercury’s notebook offered “an extraordinary glimpse into his songwriting, and seeing it fetch the day’s highest price was another highlight”, Hochman added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
