David Bowie is headed to a U.K. auction block, expected to fetch thousands. Ground Control to Major Tom, from the 1969 classic Space Oddity.
The seller was given the guitar as a replacement for one purchased in a 2003 Bikers Against Drunk Drivers charity auction that arrived broken. After learning of the shipping mishap, Bowie s team sent the replacement containing this rare inscription.
The guitar came from Bowie s own collection; experts note evidence of wear on the instrument, including scratches on the pickguard that suggest Bowie played it often.
Omega Auctions auctioneer Paul Fairweather noted that Bowie is believed to have only ever included the Space Oddity inscription on one other guitar.
