Syd Barrett guitar sells for £20k

Posted October 29, 2021 by Floydian Slip

A guitar once owned by Pink Floyd co-founder Syd Barrett sold at auction yesterday for £19,920 ($27,456 US).

The 12-string Yamaha manufactured in 1969, sold by Barrett’s nephew, Mark Barrett, was expected to fetch £5,000 to £10,000.

The winning bid was placed online from France.

Proceeds of the auction benefited two charities: Mind and the Arthur Rank Hospice.

A garden table made by Syd sold to the same bidder for £2,365. And a pair of lights from his basement studio went for £258.

A Cambridgeshire High School for Boys photo from 1959 — featuring Syd, Roger Waters and Storm Thorgerson — along with a ’61 program for “She Stoops to Conquer ” featuring Syd as Tom Twist, sold for £744.
