What will happen to this iconic Prince guitar?

Description

Prince made a bold statement when he adopted an unpronounceable symbol as his name in 1993. And tomorrow, one of the late singer’s guitars in the shape of the glyph — commonly known as the Love Symbol — could put it in the headlines once more when it goes up for auction in New York.

Though the official lot estimate is $100,000-$150,000, Guernsey’s auction house seems confident it could sell one of the singer’s gold Love guitars for much more, encouraged by the recent sale of another of Prince’s guitars for $700,000 — the most ever paid for a Prince guitar, according to the sellers, Julien’s Auctions. In that instance, the initial estimate was a relatively modest $60,000-$80,000.
