Man Of The World
The Peter Green Collection
16 – 28 June 2023
As a founding member of the seminal rock band Fleetwood Mac – and the genius behind the hits 'Albatross', 'Black Magic Woman', and 'Man of the World' – Peter Green (1946-2020) is still widely regarded as one of the greatest guitarists and songwriters of all time. Despite leaving Fleetwood Mac in 1970, Green's pioneering talents gained him a legion of faithful fans, including the likes of fellow legendary guitarists Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Kirk Hammett, David Gilmour and Noel Gallagher. Over his lifetime Green amassed a large range of more than 150 guitars, as well as amps, pedals and other equipment. This impressive collection of individual items is offered by his Estate for the first time. Together with his treasured guitars, the sale comprises several important handwritten lyrics and some of his psychedelic sketches in this dedicated online-only sale.
The Peter Green Estate commented: "Peter's contribution to the Blues and Rock music genres as a brilliant musician, guitarist, songwriter and vocalist is well established worldwide. Peter was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998. His guitar playing was original and unique. BB King said Peter had the sweetest tone he'd ever heard: "He was the only one that gave me the cold sweats." We hope that Peter's guitars and other items included in the auction will be of great interest to his fans and find good homes."
